Barbarian

The Barbarian is Diablo 3s classic melee powerhouse: tough, mobile and right at home in the thick of the fight. The Fury resource builds up in combat and fuels devastating blows. If you like standing in the middle of the pack, pulling enemies in and pulverising them with a single sweep, this is your class.

Three archetypes lead the current season: Wrath of the Wastes for endless Whirlwind with Rend bleeds, Horde of the Ninety Savages built around Frenzy, and Immortal King for massive Hammer of the Ancients hits. All three are documented below as fully tested builds with stat priorities.
