Barbarian Changes Coming in Season 5

Here are some of the Barbarian changes coming in Diablo 4’s Season 5!

We’ve taken the data from both DonTheCrown‘s and Rob‘s Season 5 sheets and compiled them into actual class changes. Blizzard has confirmed these changes for Season 5 during the content creator roundtable, but the list is incomplete and we’ll need to wait until the official Season 5 patch notes to have a full list of all changes.

Main Stat Scaling

  • Blizzard is adjusting main stat scaling in Season 5. Barbarians will receive 1% damage per 10 main stat. This is because Barbarians and Rogues have more item slots compared to other classes.

Key Passives
