This chart lists the most popular Legendary and Set items for all level 70 hardcore Barbarians in Diablo III during patch 2.1.
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.
