Relying on stoutness, raw strength, and heavy melee weapons to subdue their foes, Barbarians represent the quintessential melee warrior. Whether wielding sword, axe, mace, or any other deadly implement of war, they charge headlong into battle with unmatched martial skill and fury. The Barbarian is anything but subtle, their mighty shouts warning enemies of their imminent approach—and impending demise. The Combat Skills tree regroups various melee martial techniques that allow the Barbarian to hack and slash singular foes with unparalleled efficiency. The War Cries tree lets the Barbarian bellow in fury to temporarily buff his allies or debilitate nearby foes. The Combat Masteries tree is an entire passive tree that improves the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Barbarian in various ways.
