The Barbarian is so stubborn that nothing will stop him from his reaching his targets.

Skill Design[edit | edit source]

Stubborn is a skill that will be the envy of Barbarians of other builds, since slowing effects are a pain in the neck and will usually spell doom if the Barbarian can't get to his enemies and kill them quickly enough, at that point the Barbarian must either use skills to get to his enemies faster or rely on potions to get him through the sticky situation (pun intended).

Stubborn was seen in every Diablo 3 game demo to date, and was balanced and moved, judging from the latest demo. The old Stubborn was in tier II in the Juggernaut Skill Tree and gave 27% reduction to slowing effects at rank one.
