The skill tree can be confusing in Diablo 4. With so many skills, allocating points in a spot that is not worth your time can happen often. While any skill can be helpful, some don’t work the best when it comes to crowd-control enemies, elites, and challenging bosses. This guide will cover the best Barbarian leveling Build in Diablo 4, perfect for dealing high damage and smashing your way through to the endgame.

Paragon Board for Barbarian Build

After unlocking all those skills and reaching level 50, you will unlock the Paragon Board. The Paragon Board grants players four Paragon Points instead of one skill point per level. The board is designed to increase specific stats such as intelligence, strength, willpower, and more. Players are not allowed to skip Paragon blocks and instead have to make their way up the grid.

As you make your way up the grid, you will encounter Glyph Sockets and skill buffs for your Barbarian build. While there are various ways to go about the Paragon Board, I highly recommended that you shoot for two specific slots — life bonus attributes and Damage.
