Barbarian Diablo 2 skills: to fully understand what are the best skills to use and builds on the Barbarian!

Preamble

The Barbarian is quite a special class in terms of builds, as he has a lot of very useful skills. There will therefore be few points remaining depending on your builds. In this guide I will take the example of a barbarian level 85, with 85 + 12 skill points = 97.

Systematic skills

Here are the mandatory points for a Barbarian doing damage:

• Combat Orders: 20, bonus life and mana
• Battle Command: 1, +1 to skills
• Shout: 1, defense bonus
• Mastery of a weapon: 20, for damage
• Increased Speed: 1, to run faster
• Galvanization: 1, defense
• Natural Resistance: 1, resistances
• Jump: 1, mobility

By counting the skills needed to get those above:

• 48 skill points for 49 used, i.e. 2 skills to upgrade max

The skills of any good barbarian

Possible skills

You therefore have several possible choices:

• Trombe, which has no synergy with Shout for more defense, leaving 5 points to put in Natural Resistance
• Berzerk, which synergizes with Shout (to put in full) and Howl (put the 5 remaining points)
• Frenzy, which synergizes with A Deux Mains (to be used fully) and Provocation (put the 5 remaining points)
• Double Throw, which synergizes with A Deux Mains (to be used fully), put the rest in Cri

This is why Trombe is played so much, because it does not ask for a lot of points. If, however, you want to play Berzerk, Frenzy or Double Throw, see below!
