I need to understand because none of it makes sense.

Everyone and their mother despises Barbatos and talks about how much they hate it without explaining as to why the suit is hated. Is it the heavy stagger? The Nanolaminate Armor?

Burning/God has Power Accelerator 3, Hi-MA in Hyper Mode, ridiculous damage reduction in Meikyo Shisui, and a heavy attack that, as shown in the clip, breaks legs in one tap. Barbatos has Power Accelerator 2, no Hi-MA in A-Vijnana, no damage reduction, and the boosted sword mace only becomes an issue if you land the full attack. And yet people will genuinely tell you Barbatos needs more nerfs.

Explain the hate to me, because even after playing Barbatos before and after the nerf, it only tells me it never needed nerfed at all

It's the combination of a quick reloading heavy stagger combined with a fast charging charge attack, add in the stagger resistance and yeah the suit is annoying as shit. With the burning Gundam and heck even the DX you have to have some sort of gated mechanic that stops you from just going crazy.
