Hi, I’m a barbarian PC player with more than 300 hours between HC and SC, I’ve recently discovered the quake hota barb mechanic used by most of top barbs triggering HOTA skill facing in the OPPOSITE way of the target maximizing the quake dmg isn’t doable with a controller.
I’ve spent days trying to reproduce the same movement on a controller but the game automatically faces you in the direction of the enemy. This will definitely keep console players or with controller WAY behind of top PC players because you basically do 1/3 of the dmg because the highest part of the damage isn’t the center of the damage but the wave outside.
Obviously this won’t affect so much normal game, but in the end end game content like Uber lilith / lvl 90/100 keys this mechanic is basically the only way to beat the game for a barbarian.

Im with u bro! Still wan’t try Lilith, cause playing on controller and mehanic with HOTa quake is only working build for kill her kek
It doesnt matter, it will be fixed before season 1. Unintended effect. Even with that bug hota is still not good doing echo Lilith. Needs too much work and bis gear to pull it off.
Actually my char has 42% critrate, 395% critdmg, 400% vulnerable dmg and 300% dmg on close enemies. Playing normally with hota or chain barb I’m still too behind in dps, when I try Mouse / Keyboard and do the quake trick here comes the magic, 75% phase 1 in no time… but it’s not fair in my opinion
dont bothere with hota , they are going to fix the issue with console this 18 july along with nerfing its dmg.
I re-rolled to my rogue. Hota is getting fixed and barb is getting nerfed to the ground again.
On the other hand my rogue does insane amounts of dmg+cc and feels more powerful in PVP as well.
