Keep in mind that Increased Attack Speed will be one of the main factors for this build, but only from your weapons, about which we will talk later in this article. It is also one of the most iconic Barbarian skills. The general advice for beginners is to go with the Whirlwind build, which is probably the easiest one to play and much simpler in terms of required equipment. Pick one mastery and put points into it until it reaches 20 (maximum).Īsides from weapon proficiency, there are four other passive skills in the Weapon Mastery tree, and you should put 1 point in each of them: Iron Skin, Natural Resistance, Increased Stamina, and Increased Speed.
The other difference, of course, is in your weapon mastery, as you will only spend skill points on a weapon mystery based on the type of weapon you choose to use. Those three builds are Berserk Build, Whirlwind Build, and Concentrate Build. They are all quite similar in terms of how you spend your skill points and the only difference is which of these damage skills you choose to max out. There are generally three popular builds for the Barbarian, each revolving around the main damage skill (Combat Skills) you will choose. Barbarian skills Pick one weapon type at the beginning and stick with it. Energy: This is the least important attribute, don't spend any points here.Vitality: This is the most important one for the Barbarian, is it will improve your Health and Stamina, both necessary for his survival, being a melee character.Dexterity: Enough to equip your weapon.Strength: Always spend just as enough as you need to equip a weapon or armour that you need.With that being said, this is how you should spend your stat points as you progress through the game. With some builds and classes, there's a space for experimentation but when it comes to the Barbarian and his Combat Masteries tree, it is essential to know from the get-go which weapon type you want to use and then start investing in that mastery until you max it out (20).įor the Barbian in particular, it's crucial to always have some points in reserve, as you could always find some great weapon for your build, and you don't want to be in a situation that you don't have enough strength or dexterity to meet the requirements for wearing it.
Proper allocation of your attribute points is crucial for any build in Diablo 2 Resurrected.

How to spend your Attributes (stats) points The whirlwind build is generally considered the best pick for beginners. This is because all of the extra (enhanced) damage from the weapon, items, skills, and other equipment is applied directly to your based damage, meaning the higher your base damage the bigger value you are getting from percentage-based bonuses. While you can play the Barbian both with a two-handed weapon and a combination of one-handed and shield, we think that the best and most reliable build includes a strong two-handed weapon. Kitting (running around your enemies) is also crucial, but fortunately, our mighty Barbarian is not a weakling, as he has the highest amount of stamina out of all classes in the game, allowing him to run around for days.Īs you might have guessed by now, as a powerful melee character, the Barbarian heavily relies on finding an equally powerful weapon to unleash a massive amount of damage upon their enemies. Hoarding healing potions is a must, and that's where his Find Potion skill comes in handy. The Barbarian is always exposed to damage and thus requires a lot of micromanagement and planning.
