These hulking warriors are the original protectors of Sanctuary, trained to decimate the demonic forces of the Burning Hells. With unparalleled physical and martial strength, Barbarians are a force to be reckoned with.
Let’s dive into the gameplay elements of the Barbarian in Diablo 4 and uncover some secrets to maximize their potential. While Legendary Nodes are often in the spotlight, don’t overlook the power of Rare Nodes that can consistently enhance this mighty warrior’s gameplay.

For even more power, pair Raw Power with Exploit (Rare Glyph). Each Dexterity Node purchased within range adds +1% Damage boost to Vulnerable targets, and when you buy 5 Dexterity Nodes, attacking an opponent forces them into a 3-second Vulnerable state. Say hello to massive damage!
