Barbarian Guide to Diablo 3

The Barbarian is a melee class which excels in using both 1 and 2-hand weapons. With equal ease, the Barb can dual wield 1-handers for fast and furious attacks, use a two-hander for slower, more powerful hits, or use a shield along with a 1-hand weapon to increase its survivability.

In Diablo 3, the Barbarian uses Fury to fuel its most powerful attacks and buffs. Barbarians’ attacks are primarily melee focused. Their quick weapon swings whittle down the number of weaker foes in seconds, while their slower, ground-shaking slams and stomps can send approaching hordes reeling and crack the armor of mightier foes.

For beginner leveling that you just buy Diablo 3 account, I recommend you socket your helmet with a ruby as early on as possible. It gives you % EXP on every kill. This will help you level faster, making your time in nightmare and hell easier. Once you near 60 you can replace it for a Topaz and get that extra MF if you want to hunt gear or LIFE % if you want to be safe.

One of the primary strengths of the Barbarian is that it is one of the best AoE classes in the game. From near the beginning of the game, it gets access to Cleave (an AoE Fury Generator) as well as Rend, Seismic Slam, and Revenge, three powerful AoE attacks.

Certain Barbarian builds can burn through a ton of Fury, but if you are out of Fury, your damage does not significantly slow down. Compare that to the Demon Hunter or Wizard, where when you are out of Hatred or Arcane Power, your in-between spells feel very weak in comparison to the Barbarian’s.

You should also know that as a Barbarian you are going to need a lot more Vitality and need to construct a resistance-oriented set if you want to play in Inferno mode and be successful. Hope this guidance will be helpful to leveling your diablo iii accounts
