* See the [[Barbarian skill archive]] for the full list, with descriptions, of all active and passive skills that have been removed from the game during development.
 
 
 
===Details===
 
The Barbarian's skills and skill trees were first seen at [[BlizzCon 2008]] as a mix of active and passive skills (mostly passive), with only a few enabled and many showing nothing more than vague descriptions in the skill trees. The Barbarian had 6 active skills (out of 18) in his [[Berserker Skill Tree]], 6 active skills (out of 18) in his [[Juggernaut Skill Tree]], and 5 active skills (out of 17) in his [[Battlemaster Skill Tree]].
 
 
 
For [[BlizzCon 2009]], the list of the Barbarian's passive skills had greatly shrunk, but the active skills were mostly just shuffled around. The Barbarian also gained four new active skills: [[Spirit]], [[Wrath of the Berserker]], [[Bloodthirst]], and [[Weapon Throw]].
 
 
 
The updated Barbarian tree-less skills list at [[BlizzCon 2010]] removed all earlier passive skills (they became [[Barbarian traits]]) and changed around a number of active skills as well. The Barbarian lost [[Battle Cry]], [[Onslaught (skill)|Onslaught]], [[Bloodthirst (skill)|Bloodthirst]], and [[Enrage]]; but also gained [[Rampage]], [[War Cry]], [[Ancient Spear]], [[Rend]], and [[Call of the Ancients]].
 
 
 
With the skill system overhaul revealed in the [[July 2011 Press Event]], the Barbarian's active skills were mostly just shuffled around, but he also gained [[Overpower]] and lost [[Rampage]] and [[Taunt]]. Soon after, he gained the passive [[Tough as Nails]].
 
 
 
A large number of passives were removed for the [[beta]]; the Barbarian lost 8. After that, the list of skills was pretty well set, even if their levels weren't. The Barbarian's [[Leap Attack]] was renamed [[Leap]], and he gained the passive [[Nerves Of Steel]].
