Diablo 4 Season 11 feels like a really strong moment for Barbarians, and overall the class comes out as a clear winner compared to the previous season. In real gameplay, most Barb builds are comfortably pushing higher Pit tiers than they could in Season 10, and popular setups like Hammer of the Ancients, Bleed, and Leapquake feel cleaner and more satisfying once you start gearing up. One of the biggest behind-the-scenes improvements is how Strength scaling works now. Barbarians get slightly more damage per 10 points of Strength, and while... read full review »

Path of Exile's 3.27 Kirac League makes some meaningful adjustments to map modifiers, and the result is a noticeable shift in how players craft maps and approach in-map challenges.
