Champion Profile #1 The Barbarian

There a 5 Charaters (Champions) that you can choose in Diablo 3. One of the new changes regarding any Character is the ability to be able to make them either a male or a female. This is a new addition that the Diablo 3 development team thought was important to have.

Out of all the new classes that are in Diablo 3 the Barbarian is the only returning character from Diablo 2.

The Barbarian is your typical run of the mill smash and slash character. If you want to find yourself in a lot of close quarter fighting with monster guts flying all over than this is the character for you!

Barbs are naturally very strong and have very good natural resistances. I like to think of the barb as the "Conan the Barbarian" from the movie back in the late 80's. Now remember Arnold was not waving a staff...so don't figure on  using a magical staff and slinging fireballs or magic missiles with this Character because that's not what the Barb is capable of.

I will track all of my progress with this character in this post once I get the game and get rolling.
