Trivia[]

- The Barbarian is only available in one race, making it easily distinguishable on the battle field.

- Even though Rage lowers the Barbarian's defense, the mastery Unyielding Fury causes to raise his defense when enraged. It is unclear weither only a part of the rage's defense penalty is negated or only the % of Unyielding Fury.

- The floating armor, which is the 4th monster boss, is capable of using Barbarian's whirlwind. However, he has a small casting time, unlike the Barbarian, which immidietly activates after the light has dissappeared, making it possible to disable Whirlwind with a stun.

- Some/most Ogres and trolls also have the Rage ability.
