Diablo 4 Two Handed Weapons Skills

The Barbarian's Arsenal consists of a Two-Handed Bludgeoning weapon, a Two-Handed Slashing weapon, and a Main Hand and Off-Hand pair.

D4 Two-Handed Weapons

Two-Handed is a characteristic of weapon types in all three Diablo games. It is often abbreviated as 2H.

A character may only equip weapons and off-hand items into two hands, and two-handed weapons occupy both. In most cases it means that no other weapons, Shields or off-hand items may not be equipped together with a two-handed weapon, though there are some exceptions:

Crusaders can elect to take Heavenly Strength as a passive skill. This allows them to equip any two-handed weapon with their main hand, as long as a shield is equipped. However, all damage dealt is reduced by 20% in this manner.

Arrows and Bolts need to be equipped in the off-hand, even though Bows and Crossbows are two-handed weapons.

Quivers, much like Arrows, are equippable with a bow or crossbow.

In Diablo II, all two-handed swords may be used in one hand by Barbarians, effectively allowing them to wield two of those weapons at the same time. They suffer from dealing reduced damage, along with the item’s (usually) slower attack speed, however.
- The ability of being able to wield a two-handed weapon in one hand was also present for the Barbarian in Diablo: Hellfire. As a matter of fact, it could be argued that this hero has shown a greater degree of strength than the Barbarians seen in the later games; in addition to all two-handed swords, he was able to do the same with a maul. To add further insult to injury, he also dealt full damage with the above mentioned weaponry, and suffered no penalties to attack speed compared to their one-handed counterparts. In return, he was unable to dual-wield even the most simple of weapons, instead leaving that to the Bard.

A general rule is that two-handed weapons deal a higher amount of damage, and can roll higher total stat bonuses for the slot, but suffer from a slower attack speed.

Wands, Daggers, Hand Crossbows, Javelins, Scepters, Ceremonial Knives, Fist Weapons, Throwing Weapons, Spears (Diablo III only), Sorceress Orbs and Katars are always one-handed and do not exist in two-handed variants.

Barbarian Class

A brutal, physical warrior, the Barbarian roams around the battlefield constantly, dishing heavy damage and wielding an array of powerful weapons with ease. With the Arsenal system, Barbarians can swap between different types of weapons, such as from a heavy two-handed mace to a pair of sharp, agile hand axes, depending on the situation, skill, and your player needs. The Arsenal can be composed out of two two-handed and two one-handed weapons, with affixes applying from all four at once, but only one or two at a time used to resolve attacks.

Barbarians will be able to haul around four total weapons and swap between them dynamically at any time. You’ll also be able to assign specific weapons to different skills, allowing advanced players even greater depths of customization. Several skills specifically require the equipped weapon to be bludgeoning, such as Maces, or slashing, such as Swords; some skills may require Dual Wielding or Two-Handed weapons; using such a skill immediately swaps the Arsenal to the best fitting weapons.

Barbarian may bestow immunity to Crowd Control upon themselves or others, as well as other useful bonuses, via Shouts (working similarly to D2 and D3 skills of the same name).

Most Barbarian skills will only deal Physical damage, but the Barbarian has two distinct specializations, either at Red or Orange skills. Warlord (Red) skills and talents generally aim for defense, party bonuses, tactical damage, Bleeding and opportunity strikes, as well as Crowd Control; while Berserker (Orange) skills go for reckless offense, maximum damage output, self-buffs and speed.

As a Barbarian, each point of Strength increases the damage of their skills, while Willpower improves Fury generation, and Dexterity grants critical chance.
