Of course, barbarians will continue to be excellent damage dealers, with the blademaster paragon path focusing exclusively on offense. Where before tanks would need to persistently taunt enemies, you’ll now be able to focus on attacking your foes to get their attention. Tanks like the sentinel will also have passive powers which increase the threat generated by their actions, and a variety of actions to choose form that generate additional threat, while sacrificing a bit of damage. Abilities that once forced the enemy to attack you will now place you at the top of the enemy’s target list. For those who had played as a tank class before, the old style of taunts is gone. With Undermountain, generating threat will be more about dealing damage and less about “taunting” foes and forcing them to attack you, regardless of who currently had their attention. Not only will block provide a more noticeable effect, enemy damage has been rebalanced around the change and you can now more freely lower your guard to use your powers, without worrying about instantly taking lethal damage. It’s hard to overstate how much of a dramatic change this is, and how different it will be to use block with a sentinel for those who have played a Paladin or Guardian Fighter on live. While your weapon is raised, you won’t regain any stamina, but lower it and it will begin to refill. When you raise your weapon to block an attack, the attack depletes your stamina as if it were hit points, damaging your hit points only if the damage exceeded your block. The hit points of your block are determined by your remaining stamina and your maximum hit points. Block no longer applies a damage resistance bonus, but instead provides a hit point shield whenever your weapon is raised. However, blocking in general has been completely reimagined and will now play a much more active role in combat. Blocking with a barbarian’s weapon functions similarly to using a shield.

The block tactical power will replace the sentinel barbarian’s sprint while the blademaster will continue to have access to sprint. As the guardian fighter has also been repackaged as the core fighter class, the two classes-barbarian and fighter-no longer share paragon paths.įor the damage-focused blademaster barbarian, the class mechanic “unstoppable” will be renamed “battlerage” and the resource “determination” will be renamed “rage.” Other than cosmetic changes, the mechanic will remain largely the same: build up rage, then activate battlerage to increase your offensive prowess.įor the tank-the sentinel barbarian-the class mechanic will continue to be “unstoppable.” When compared with battlerage, unstoppable won’t provide as many offensive bonuses, but will allow the sentinel to automatically block all attacks as if they were holding down block, even as they continue attacking.
