In my journey to catalogue the various denizens, civilizations, and fauna of our world, I have travelled far and wide, but never before have I been struck with such dismay as when standing upon the ramparts of the ancient fortress of Bastion's Keep. I came to see firsthand the barbarians, those near-legendary, immense, relentless, dual-wielding furies of combat dwelling upon their sacred Mount Arreat.

Instead, I stand here looking at a mountain that has been torn asunder by some extraordinary force. The sight, I must confess, is incomprehensible. Yet what I see before me cannot be denied.

What truly happened here?
Where are those majestic warriors of old?Female

Though they were once misunderstood as simple, bloodthirsty invaders, the long and noble history of these proud people is now rightly acknowledged. And therein lies the greater tragedy here, for those of us familiar with the nobility of the barbarians remember too what they call their "vigil", the concept that lay at the very heart of their culture. The barbarians consider it their sworn duty to protect Mount Arreat and the mysterious object within. They believe that if they fail to uphold their duty to the great mount, or are not given a proper burial upon its slopes, they will be denied a true warrior's death, and their spirits shall roam the land without honour for all eternity.

If there are any barbarians left alive, they must truly be without hope. Perhaps this is the genesis of the rumours of monstrous things reported to resemble the barbarians in size and ferocity, but that are in reality nothing more than unreasoning, inhuman beasts. Could the destruction of not only their home but also their very beliefs have actually brought this magnificent race so low?

Skill - Cleave

cleave

Cleave

Cleave is a very quick attack and is very good it because of its speed. Although it's a very simple attack, it can be deadly to all that stands it its way. This attack is one of the best attacks for a barbarian because it can take out a lot of enemies at once. You can identify the attack by its slash of red light. This attack will be the most commonly used for a barbarian because it can wipe out enemies very easily and its speed.

Skill - Ground Stomp

ground stomp

Ground Stomp

Ground stomp is also a very effective and useful attack because it also quick but also allows you to jump right into the middle of the fight and knock your enemies flying causing them a great deal of damage or even killing them outright. This attack will then give you time to think about next attack to kill them off.

Skill - Leap

leap

Leap

The Leap is quite a good attack because you can jump from place to place slamming down and killing nearby enemies. This attack can be very handy if you are battling a group of enemies who are grouped together because you will be able to kill large quantities at a time, this will make your game more fun to play when you know you can kill lots of enemies at once. This attack can be use as a chain attack when you jump from place to place whilst the rest of your party finishes them off.

Skill - Seismic Slam

seismic slam

Seismic Slam

You would normally use this attack after a Leap when most of your enemies have been killed and you just want to finish them off. This attack can also be used on bosses because as it will get the bosses attention whilst the rest of your party heal and at the same time dealing out a mass of damage. This attack will also be good because it can be done from a distance then as the enemy is coming you can quickly use another attack.

Skill - Whirlwind

whirlwind

Whirlwind

As we all know, the Whirlwind was around in Diablo2. Whirlwind was probably one of the best attacks the barbican could have in diablo2 and would have been surly missed if they has left it out in Diablo 3.
