Hot dang, I approve!

All three skill trees sound like non-stop pain for things in the Barb's way.

I suppose Berserker = high damage, battlemaster is more tactical, and Juggernaut is about being big and healthy...

More like, Berzerker = smash their face better, Battlemaster = smash their face smarter, Juggernaut = smash their face nonstop

If you look at the pics you'll see some more 'new' skills like Ignore Pain, Perseverance, Power of the Battlemaster, Iron Skin and Battle Rage.
All Battlemaster skills if I'm correct.

This is what I make of them:

Battle Rage [Warcry?]
The Barbarian enters a rage which increases damage done by 100% and increases Critical Hit damage with 50%. Lasts for 15 seconds.
Fury cost: 50.

Perseverance [PASSIVE]
Increases the duration of Battle Rage, Battle Cry and Ignore Pain with 10%.

Power of the Battlemaster [PASSIVE]
Increases damage of all Battlemaster skills by 10%.

Ignore Pain [PASSIVE]
I'm guessing something like damage reduction..?

Iron Skin [PASSIVE]
Toughens the Barbarian's shield and bodyarmor(?) by +10%.

Ignore Pain [PASSIVE]
I'm guessing something like damage reduction..?


If Blizz wants to keep things simple, DR seems like a good bet. If they want to go a little more in depth, the choice of words in Ignore Pain interests me. They didn't call it Negate Damage or Deflect Blow. IP could have a negative effect like Berserk's zero defense or Sacrifice's negative life leech since...you can ignore pain but that doesn't mean it's not there.

Overall I am pumped for the direction the Barb appears to be taking. Everything so far is devoted to dishing out major hurt. Even the skill tree names are bad ***.

EDIT: Jaxxkelly: I like it! That would really emphasize the tank aspect of the barb.

Or maybe Ingnore Pain could be something like, when you have zero health left the barb can continue for say 2 seconds to get to that one health orb to regain some life... or die trying!

Or maybe that skill better could be called Ignore Death.

what is fury?? no mana??

Fury is gained while you are killing and getting hurt. Like vampire frenzy. Some skill will need it to be triggered, others will use stamina and others both.

are there fury and stamina orbs?

Interesting. Seems reminiscent of the WoW Warrior talent trees, but not anywhere close to being as specialized. Just general themes:

Berzerker is IAS, Dual Weild, and AoE attacks

Juggernaut is Damage, Two Handers, status effects, and AoE attacks.

Battlemaster is Damage, Shield, and lots of Defense.


All three trees make you kill faster and last longer, just in different ways.

LOL. Juggernaut tree has 3 level 1 skills but no passive to get to the 5 point requirement for tier 2 skills.

As I said before Fury is obtained by fighting mobs and stamina is regenerated. I didn't see any stamina orbs so far.

Um, please remember that stuff is subject to change, and we really don't always know where did the stuff on wiki come from.

Hehehe.
However the Barb seems to have such a skill, found under the Battlemaster skills :-D

Death Proof
Upon receiving fatal damage, the Barbarian is kept alive and gains XX% of maximum health. This effect cannot occur more than once every XXX seconds.
