The barbarian is a stealth class that specializes in quickly eliminating one target. They are highly-prized in group fights for their ability to block all healing on a target with Shadow Mantle. Solo players will also find the barbarian's kit quite versatile, however, they have few ranged weapon choices and no way to increase their speed, relying on Steal Breath to slow their target instead.
Barbarians, like many rogues, work best when catching their target by surprise. Sneak up on an unsuspecting target using stealth powers, consider your opponents weaknesses, and exploit them.
Mage
- A mage barbarian's primary means of damage is usually Shadow Bolt, which applies a short stun. Since all stuns apply a brief immunity that refreshes on all new stun attempts, it is best to use Shadow Touch before unleashing your volley of Shadow Bolts.
Rogue
- Rogue barbarians will generally want to open with of of their many backstab variants. To know the most effective one, you will need to have some knowledge about other classes. Bear in mind that the backstab variants are considered poison and can be dispelled by the appropriate effect removal powers.
