Warmaster Barbael SS+ --> SS-

The Ranking Council has decided that Warmaster Barbael just isn't good enough for SS+. He is a denier who's main and only form of deny is Total Blind. Blind Immunity was buffed a long while back so that it becomes immune to Total Blind as well. Total Blind just isn't exactly the best form of deny out there. It's easily dealt with by monsters using team or self support skills, and the only monsters that are really hindered by it are monsters that are completely offensively based and have no supportive skills at all, which in the modern meta, are very far and few between.

We just thought that overall, he is definitely one of the weaker Warmasters in the game. That isn't to say he doesn't have his merits tho, his Trait giving his team a constant +50% damage buff is really nice, especially when paired up with Attackers, and he can disable Traits, which is a very useful thing to have in the modern meta of Taunt and AoE Dodge monsters. He is still a very useful monster to have, which is why he is placed in SS- rather than below as he is still worthy for the SS ranks.
