Theme

The barbarian is a brutal warrior, often hailing from a tribal background. Elite barbarians often have an ancestry linked to the Vrykul of Northrend. Generally simple of mind, and with no bearing over magic of their own, barbarians are known to rely on their weapons to earn their place in the world.

Gameplay

The barbarian is a simple class to play - it is an energy-using melee fighter with a considerable ability to deal melee AoE damage. The barbarian is capable of fulfilling a damage role, and in some cases a barbarian can be built into an off-tanking role, but their damage mitigation cannot compete with some other classes such as Guardians.

Barbarians use a special mechanic called CARNAGE. Many abilities will build CARNAGE stacks on enemies they strike. The Barbarian can then use different abilities that consume CARNAGE stacks to deal massive bursts of damage based on their Strength.
