Quickly explaining the Barbarians passive in Diablo 4, seems like a few people were kind of confused by this in my most recent build video.

Thanks for not making this 10+ minutes for this straight forward answer 👍🏼🙏🏼

If you dual wield a one handed sword and a one handed axe... are you getting both techniques? I don't really see the point of choosing a 2 hander over dual wielding if this is the case.

[SovererignTuning]

Didn't know that you have to click on a certain item, this is from a lvl 65 barb.

[KOOKMON]

So to confirm. Minus the secondary effects, ALL other effects are ON at ALL times no matter what weapon I am using? Thank you

[tomheffernan]

So if I am only using a 2 hand sword does it matter if i have any other weapons on me?

[grinampwns]

I still don't get it... So, for example, I have 2h sword now, and if I put the 2handed axe expertise(rank10), I get only the rank10 bonus, but not the normal one? And if I put the 2hand sword expertise (rank10) I get both, because I use a 2h sword atm?

[landshark]

sorry i'm new to the barb, and i'm not sure how to ask this question. For the technique, i should put in a 2h axe, but i just found one and its rank 0. should i level it up to 10 then put it in the technique slot?

[ErikSLO]

so if i have all expertise on level 10 do i get all of the passives from all of the expertise? Or just from the weapons that i am carrying?

[YB-uckj]

So if I am building a bleed WW barb, I should manually select Slash as on my ww with my 2h sword for better bleed effect even though auto select gives better dps with a bludgeon weapon correct?

[imperialpenuin]

I feel like the whichever expertise you choose as your tech, the level 10 bonus should apply to all weapons as well and that expertise you choose should also level up as your tech even if u don’t use that weapon. Just seems like a decent balance to me. I feel like I’m missing out on stuff for my build otherwise

Dev's need to wise up and start including a User Manual with their games again, like EVERY GAME use to have, even if it must be a pdf today. They are necessary to learn what you can do and how to do it.. even if it only covers the basics.

How can the devs justify not including one with a game this deep?
The need is plainly obvious when no one can even change their weapon in a dungeon crawler.. It's completely illogical.

*Quit being lazy Blizzard..
The game's not ready for release until it comes with a guide that shows you the essentials of how to play it!*
If you ever taught a swimming class, everyone would drown.

If i use 2h Mace, but have 2h Axe as technique slot, do i still get the passiv 2h mace expertice?

[rozzay]

@Dalkora
Hey dose the other weapons aspects effect your character or no? Or do you have to use them to take into effect?
Thanks

[edsherwook]

Do gems count on a weapon I’m not using? Like if I put 2 gems on bludgeoning weapon and use my slashing will the gems do anything?

[allianceautocare]

This is completely wrong for console. It say when using the specific weapon not any

[SlickNinja]

Unfortunately, they changed the tool tip for S4 to the exact weapon of the expertise you are using. So, yeah... you have to have that weapon equipped now.😥

[chrisazzy]

I feel like Blizzard purposely leaves out instructions to give content creators more stuff to talk about, essentially creating free marketing.

[grafflol]

is this 15% huge or 25% vul on ring will be better? i like lucky hit and it is on both of my rings so i can use polearm expertise and drop lucky hit from rings and get it on polearm expertise. btw why polearm expertise not showing in tooltip like it adding lucky hit chance? is is just like 15% vul dmg or it works different and it is huge?

[lGraveGamingl]

Can you cover all the weapons and if all the aspects count ect. Ty confused.

[Handle_Not_Available.]

is the rate at which you gain weapon expertise dependent on what wt u use it on ? for e.g.: would it faster if i did it on wt4 as compared to wt1 ?
