==Barbarian Active Skills==
During early development, the Barbarian's passive and active skills were divided into three skill trees: [[Battlemaster_Skill_Tree|Battlemaster]], [[Berserker_Skill_Tree|Berserker]], and [[Juggernaut_Skill_Tree|Juggernaut]]. The [[skills]] and [[skill tree]] systems were entirely revised in 2010, and the active skills were arranged into one large list. At [[BlizzCon 2010]] in October Blizzard revealed the new skill system, with all [[passive skills]] moved to [[traits]]. However, At the [[July 2011 Press Event]], it was revealed that [[traits]] had been changed back to [[passive skills]].
The following is a very quick listof Barbarian skills, divided into three categories, Fury Generating, Fury Spending and Situational abilities. See the [[Barbarian skills]] page for a more thorough summary, or any of the individual skills pages for full information. * [[Bash]] - Melee attack with bonus damage and a chance of knockback.[[File:Barb-stomp1.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Ground Stomp]].]]* [[Ground Stomp]] - Stomps on the ground, stunning all nearby enemies.* [[Hammer of the Ancients]] - A melee attack in which the Barbarian smashes a giant yellow hammer down for +damage and +critical hit chance.* [[Battle Rage]] - A buff that increases damage and critical hit frequency for a short duration.* [[Ignore Pain]] - A [[shout]] that reduces all damage taken, as well as granting immunity to root, snare and stun effects for a short duration.
