It's a pretty strong class as is.Even still, no class is perfect and all could use a little tweaking. A few things I think could use some tweaking-1. I like the exhaustion part of Frenzy, but I feel it's a little TOO steep a penalty. I don't have a magic fix for it, but maybe give a free frenzy and exhaustion doesn't start until the 2nd? I think losing a level of exhaustion every short rest is too strong but maybe a long rest could remove more than one level? 2. I agree with not choosing when to rage. It's a little silly to CHOOSE to rage. I'm playing a Barb in two different campaigns right now and I won't rage until I'm attacked or REALLY provoked, or if I miss with a regular attack a few times in a row which has happened at least once haha.3. I think the extra +2 to +4 damage fine but wouldn't complain if it was a little higher and/or scales a little better. Maybe it could scale with your proficiency bonus?  4. I have at least a minor complaint about the totem's 6th level abilities all be a little underwhelming. 5. I have heard complaints about the Barb class being TOO defensive with rage resistance being so powerful. I have to wonder if they really meant to make it SO defensive. I know one of my DMs complains that my Barb is too tough and he has a hard time providing equally challenging (for everybody) encounters because of it. I blame this instance on the other characters in the group being too squishy to be honest. Nobody else has a Con of more than 12 and there are two casters. My Barb has more HP than them put together so what's tough for me, would one shot them easily. 6. I don't think the Barb should be able to end it's rage all of a sudden either. I also don't think a raging Barb should be able to provide any type of utility while raging during combat. If I'm raging and engaged in combat, using a potion is not an option, not even for myself.</blockquote>
