Ok I'm raging about this. But it wasn't for 10 minutes; that would be crazy.
This is exactly it. Frankly, Combat isn't my favorite aspect of play (despite it being the crunchiest), so Barbarians have almost no appeal to me. They usually have like one subclass ability that isn't strictly combat focused, and other than that you don't really have much to do until initiative is rolled.
