==Development==

~~The~~ * See the [[Barbarian~~'s skills and~~ skill ~~trees were first seen at [[BlizzCon 2008~~archive]]for the full list, with ~~only a few~~ descriptions, of all active and passive skills ~~enabled and many showing nothing more than vague descriptions in~~ that have been removed from the ~~skill tree~~game during development.

~~===Removed Skills===~~* The Barbarian's skills and skill trees were first seen at [[~~Rampage~~BlizzCon 2008]]* as a mix of active and passive skills (mostly passive), with only a few enabled and many showing nothing more than vague descriptions in the skill trees. The Barbarian had 6 active skills (out of 18) in his [[~~Taunt~~Berserker Skill Tree]], 6 active skills (out of 18) in his [[Juggernaut Skill Tree]], and 5 active skills (out of 17) in his [[Battlemaster Skill Tree]].

For [[BlizzCon 2009]], the list of the Barbarian's passive skills had greatly shrunk, but the active skills were mostly just shuffled around. The Barbarian also gained four new active skills: [[Spirit]], [[Wrath of the Berserker]], [[Bloodthirst]], and [[Weapon Throw]].

The updated Barbarian tree-less skills list at ~~Blizzcon~~ [[BlizzCon 2010 ]] removed all earlier passive skills (they became [[Barbarian traits]]) and changed around a number of active skills as well. The Barbarian lost [[Battle Cry]], [[Onslaught]], [[Bloodthirst (skill)|Bloodthirst]], and [[Enrage]]; but also gained [[Rampage]], [[War Cry]], [[Ancient Spear]], [[Rend]], and [[Call of the Ancients]].

~~Five skills were added~~ With the skill system overhaul revealed in ~~Blizzcon 2010.~~* the [[~~Rampage~~July 2011 Press Event]]* [[War Cry]]* [[Ancient Spear]]* [[Rend]]* [[Call of , the ~~Ancients]]~~ ~~The following~~ Barbarian's active skills were ~~present in 2009~~mostly just shuffled around, ~~and gone in 2010. Many of these were turned, more or less directly, into~~ but he also gained [[~~Barbarian Traits~~Overpower]]. * Berserker Skills** and lost [[~~Bad Temper (Skill)|Bad Temper~~Rampage]]** and [[~~Double Strike]]~~** [[Slashing Strike]]** [[Berserker State]]** [[Onslaught]]* Juggernaut Skills** [[Scavenge]]** [[Invigorated]]** [[Bloodthirst (skill)|Bloodthirst]]** [[Recovery]]** [[Strong Constitution]]* Battlemaster Skills** [[Battle Cry]]** [[Second Wind (skill)|Second Wind]]** [[Stubborn]]** [[Enrage]]** [[Inspiration]]** [[Retaliation]]** [[CrippleTaunt]].
