Passive skills replaced [[Traits]] late in game development. Many passives are very similar to previously<h2 style="margin:0;background-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.color:#cef2e0;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:120%;font

Twelve of the Barbarian's passive skills were removed, but this time, 28 new traits were introduced. Only two passives were turned, more or less directly, into traits: [[Bad Temper (Skill)|Bad Temper]] and [[Second Wind (skill)|Second Wind]]. By the [[July 2011 Press Event]], the skill system had once again been completely redesigned. The [[traits]] system was scrapped, and replaced by a new version of passive skills, but still separate from the active skills. Although 13 of the Barbarian's traits were turned into passives, 18 of them were removed, and 9 passives were brand new. The list of Barbarian passives shown at the press event was obviously still in development. There were several issuesClick here: [[Pound of Flesh]] was listed twice, [[Cruelty]] had the same description and icon as [[Bloodthirst]], [[Slaughter (Barbarian passive)|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. Just a few days later, the passive [[Tough As Nails]] was announced, which seems to be designed to replace [[Iron Skin]] and another passive.   ==References==* [http://diablox.incgamers.comco/forums/showthread.php?p=7960229#post7960229 Zedionoq7bR Flash Plugin]''s translation of JudgeHype's pre-beta report] -- IncGamers 1st Aug 2011</big>* [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzard-on-class-specific-armor-benefits Blizzard on Class-Specific Armor Benefits] -- IncGamers 9th Aug 2011<br>* [http://diablo''Diablowiki.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8012653#post8012653 Kastigarnet''s Really Big Barb thread] -- IncGamers 8th Sep 2011</font> {{Skill_navbox_Diablo_III|Barbarian}} [[category:Skills]][[category:Barbarian]]
