The Barbarian is one of the most versatile and furious Classes in Diablo 4. With the ability to sling around four different weapons at a time in combat, the Barbarian Class hence allows for high flexibility in making builds. Among many other things that are part of an elite build, one important factor to consider in them is Legendary Aspects.
You can think of Legendary Aspects as enchantments or buffs that you can apply to your gear to customize according to your playstyle. There is a whole plethora of different Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4, each offering a different type of bonus to your character.
While the Legendary Aspects are hard to acquire, they are equally as important and effective in all of the different types of builds or classes in Diablo 4.
This is true for the Barbarian Class as well. If you need a list of all of the general and class-specific Legendary Aspects that work best with the Barbarian, then you don’t need to look any further.
Best general Aspects for a Barbarian
There are two types of Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4. The first of these is the generic Legendary Aspects, which can be used by any class in the game. Then there’s the class-specific Legendary Aspects, which can only be used by certain classes or builds.
However, note that while you can use the Legendary Aspects you looted as many times as you want, the extracted ones can only be used once, so make your choice wisely.
Aspect of Disobedience
The Aspect of Disobedience utilizes the Barbarian’s offensive prowess to increase the overall defensive stats, be it for a short duration.
Your armor stats receive a 0.25 percent boost every time you deal damage to an enemy. This damage can be of any kind, any skill, any weapon, and to any type of enemy.
Take note that your boosted armor stats are going to last 4 seconds, meaning that you have 4 seconds to attack another enemy to stack more defense.
Moreover, this effect can stack up to a total of 25%. This means that you can stay up to that number if you constantly deal damage.
This should be pretty easy since the Barbarian can wield four weapons at once. You can switch from your two-handed weapons to one-handed dual-wield weapons to increase your attack speed and remain topped up on defense.
