Take this in mind, things sound good on paper.

but when you do it in the real situation its usually wrong.

frigost is actually a really good barb counter, if the frigost is actually good. it removes its high dps, and constantly staggers & is able to block bash. it can hit way more than 1-2 hits, and icicle does not leave you vulnerable, that's just silly as it gives a heavy speed debuff.

barb is NOT op, its easy to kite, slow, very vulnerable, and its advantages can be nullified with a debuff.

/end

I've fought many barbs as nether, and they always struggle to hit, so theres your proof too.
