So, I’ve had two players in two separate campaigns ask to retire their single class Barbarian characters. Both were around 8th level, and both “ got bored w/ the character”. Both also felt other classes got more variety of powers and did more damage. The characters in question were a modified Beserker and Zealot ( Sohei inspired w/ Polearm Master & Sentinel Feats).
This is the only class that I have personally seen retired in 5e.
Anyone else seen/ experienced it?
As a DM I would say the class as a whole reads as a boring class, but holds up well in play......up into 8th level. Monks are fun, and everyone likes playing them, Fighters start really doing Nova Action surges, and to these two players the Barbarian leveling up “ felt more of the same”.
