Passive skills replaced [[Traits]] late in game development. Many passives are very similar to previously-known traits, with the main changes coming in changes to the character level requirements, and the fact that passives are on/off, rather than using 1, 3, or 5 points, as Traits did. Characters only get three passive in total, with one slot opening up for a passive at Clvl 10, 20, and 30.

{{Passive history notes}}
The list of Barbarian passives as seen at the press event was obviously still in development. There were several issues: [[Pound of Flesh]] was listed twice, [[Cruelty]] had the same description and icon as [[Bloodthirst]], [[Slaughter]] had the same description and icon as [[Berserker Rage]], and 6 passives had no level requirements, possibly so beta players could try them out right from the beginning. Also, the list of Barbarian passives was noticeably longer than that of the other classes, and will no doubt be shortened.
