Overview
The Barbarian is Diablo 4's quintessential melee powerhouse, excelling at close-range combat with unmatched versatility in weapon selection. Through the unique Arsenal System, Barbarians can equip and switch between four weapons simultaneously — two one-handed weapons and two two-handed weapons — each providing distinct bonuses through Weapon Expertise.
Resource: Fury
Fury is generated through Basic Skills and spent on powerful Core abilities. Effective Fury management is key to maintaining damage output, as many of the Barbarian's strongest skills require significant Fury investment. Several passive skills and Legendary Aspects can enhance Fury generation or reduce costs.
Playstyle
Barbarians thrive in the thick of combat, using Shouts to buff themselves and allies, Leap and Charge for mobility, and devastating attacks like Whirlwind, Hammer of the Ancients, and Rend to obliterate enemies. The class offers multiple viable endgame playstyles, from spin-to-win Whirlwind builds to high-burst Hammer of the Ancients setups.
