This page lists all known Barbarian skills, with information that was current as of August 2011. This page is a quick listing; follow the links to the individual skill pages for full discussion of every skill, including first hand reports, Blue quotes, runestone information, and numerous screenshots and other images.

All character skills have undergone considerable changes during development, with the biggest change coming before BlizzCon 2010, when skill trees and passive skills were removed from the skill listing and Traits were introduced. See the Barbarian skill archive for information about skill changes over time.

Development

The Barbarian's skills and skill trees were first seen at BlizzCon 2008, with only a few skills enabled and many showing nothing more than vague descriptions in the skill tree.

Removed Skills

The updated Barbarian skills list at Blizzcon 2010 removed all earlier passive skills (they became Barbarian traits) and changed around a number of active skills as well.

Five skills were added in Blizzcon 2010.

The following skills were present in 2009, and gone in 2010. Many of these were turned, more or less directly, into Barbarian Traits.

Berserker Skills
Juggernaut Skills
Battlemaster Skills
- Battle Cry
- Second Wind
- Stubborn
- Enrage
- Inspiration
- Retaliation
- Cripple
