Barbarian Skill Tree

The Barbarian has access to six groups of skills and in general, they serve the following purposes:

• Basic – Generate Fury and deal Physical Damage
• Fury – Deal Physical Damage at a cost to Fury
• Defensive – Deal Physical Damage with Cooldowns
• Brawling – Deal Physical Damage with Cooldowns with some generation of Fury
• Weapon Mastery – Deal Physical Damage with Cooldowns
• Ultimate – Deal Physical Damage with Cooldowns with some generation of Fury

The Barbarian can have four weapons on his/her person, two single-handed weapons and two two-handed weapons, and will swap between them automatically depending on the skill being used.

Certain skills generate Fury which is used to execute other skills. Fury will drain from the orb over a short time if not used.

Certain passive Talents can affect an entire category of skills, for example points in the Guttural Yell talent means all your Shouts cause your enemies to inflict less damage on you for a few seconds.
