We weren't happy with the final iteration of Mortick’s Brace on the PTR, so we have disabled it from dropping with the 2.2.0 patch. We may revisit this item in a later patch. Unfortunately, the early version of the patch notes that went out did not reflect this change. However, they have since been updated.

We sincerely apologize for the confusion!

Just blue-tagging this for increased visibility.

Thank you Blizzard for making Barbs useless, at least now we know what class not to play.

R.I.P. Barbs

This smells like hyperbole to me, but please know that we will be keeping eye on how well (or poorly) Barbarians will perform as a result of not having access to these bracers. Constructive feedback from people that will be playing Barbarians after patch 2.2, especially in Greater Rifts, will be very helpful in this regard.

I am not saying barb gonna be useless, but nowhere near good enough.

Will Barbarian be in a good spot in party play? I have many doubts

The developers will certainly keep an eye on the leaderboards, and as mentioned in my previous post, we will also be very interested in getting feedback from Barbarians who will be playing in Greater Rift after patch 2.2.

Why not just give wrath of the berzerker a rune instead of all runes?

That was the developers preferred alternative, but it was too late in the patch cycle to change it.

Hi guys,

Wyatt Cheng was recently interviewed by ZiggyD Gaming, and he talks a little bit about Mortick's Bracers and the events and concerns surrounding their removal: https://youtu.be/QTRSm4LKO5Y?t=3m1s
