Here's everything we know about Barbarian skills in Diablo 4

Barbarians are battle masters, wreaking havoc with massive weapons of all shapes and sizes.

One of the classes in Diablo 4 is the mighty Barbarian. With this guide, I've assembled a full list of the Diablo 4 Barbarian's skills, talents, and attacks. It's worth noting that Diablo 4 is far from finished, so this information is definitely subject to change as things are tweaked before and after the game's release.

Other classes await

For information on the remaining classes in Diablo 4, you can check out the Sorceress skill tree and Druid skill tree. We'll be sure to provide updates if anything changes, as well as make guides for the skill trees of the two remaining classes when they are revealed.

Activision Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 4 won't be released in 2021, so the earliest we'll see this ambitious title is sometime in 2022. Blizzard Entertainment is taking its time with this game, which could end up being one of the best PC games available.

Diablo 4 is currently set to release on Xbox One, PC, and PS4. No current-generation support has been detailed, but it's tough to imagine this game won't be enhanced on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PS5.
