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
Unconstrained - Bonus damage reduced from 75%[x] to 35%[x], so it should read as 60%[x] on tooltip now.
Walking Arsenal - Bonus damage per weapon type used reduced from 12%[x] to 8%[x].
- Bonus damage while all three bonuses are active reduced from 20%[x] to 10%[x].
- Bonus Attack Speed while all three bonuses are active reduced from 20% to 10%.
Unbridled Rage - Bonus damage reduced from 100%[x] to 45%[x].
Gushing Wounds - When causing an enemy to Bleed, you have a chance equal to your Critical Strike Chance to increase the Bleed amount by 70%[x], then by 100%[+] of your Critical Strike Damage.
- Overpowering a Bleeding enemy creates an explosion that inflicts 120% Bleeding damage over 5 seconds.
- Potentially no longer scales with
The Grandfather.

- Bash Temper reduced by 80% (from 105% to 20%).
