ItemSlotPercent
  • This historical chart lists the most popular Legendary and Set items that were used by level 70 hardcore Barbarians, during patch 2.1.2.
  • Since they must be more cautious when farming for gear, hardcore Barbarians do not gain the same number of Legendary or Set items on average as a softcore Barbarian. Because of this, there are fewer items widely used across level 70 hardcore Barbarians, compared to the Legendary and Set items popular with the softcore Barbarians.
