The Barbarian Warrior is the tank. He’s built to absorb tons of damage and dish out it out in equal measure. A barbarian should focus attribute points primarily on strength; the greater the strength, the greater the melee damage. Dexterity and stamina play a less important, but still important, role. Dexterity affects the ability to hit with melee weapons, which translates to receiving maximum damage for each strike. Stamina increases hit points and health regeneration. As much damage as the barbarian will sustain, the more hit points the better. Skillful use of health potions and item sockets can help the barbarian increase stamina sufficiently without the use of attribute points.
Focus on a weapon type and concentrate on that skill. It’s wasteful to spend points on blunt weapons and slashing. Choose a path and stick with it. Another decision is between shield bash and dual wield. Shield bash is an effective skill that offers stun ability against your opponents. But you must use one hand for a shield. Dual wield means two weapons so you won’t be using a shield in one hand. Once again, don’t waste any points.
Dual wield can be extremely deadly with two strong weapons, appropriate advancement in the weapon skills, and in combination with a lot of points in the critical hit skill. Slam is also extremely useful to increase your damage. And once you reach level 20, ancestral call is a must-have as you move through the next difficulty levels.
Mana is definitely an issue for the barbarian--it doesn’t regenerate. So if you plan to use skills that require mana, you better have potions on hand. Skills that require mana are slam, shield bash, critical hit, ground pound, charge, cyclone, and ancestral call.
