==Development==
The Barbarian was unveiled as the first ever Diablo III class at [[WWI 2008]] in Paris, and has gone through a number of small changes since then. Some skills have changed name since the reveal, and the skill tree has changed drastically from the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demo in October until May 2009. See more on the [[Berserker Skill Tree]].
===Character Model Evolution===
The Barbarians, both male and female, were reworked visually during their development. Since the Barbarians were the first characters completed, they were the roughest, and were the only characters to receive "new faces" during development. This was confirmed by a new female Barbarian image released in October 2010, and accompanying comments by [[Bashiok]]. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/female-barbarian-gear-set-preview/]
::'''Bashiok:''' Both the female and male barbarian have had pretty drastic make-overs since the original character renders back from announcement. All of the heroes from announcement have to one degree or another been gone over again since then, but I’d say the barbs are most noticeable as their actual faces were redone.
The female Barbarian's face was prettified a bit, made less square and hard, between the early in-game character model and the more refined one produced later in development.
