Actually a fair number of these abilities and the whole rage concept mimics the Sith Warrior abilities in SWTOR (and I also am not saying that this is necessarily a bad thing ;).

For the sake of argument diablo has been out far longer than WoW and has always had some similar key moves to the new diablo 3 barb. Secondly, i find it hard that anyone would argue that either "stole" anything from eachother as they're both made by the SAME COMPANY! Besides how many new genuine ideas are there in the gaming industry today?

i agree with zinna WOW stole many things from Dioblo 1 and 2

Wow this class is such a blatant knock off of the WoW warrior class. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing.

Barbarian's pretty damn fun so far.

One thing though... He's a Barbarian, yet extremely articulate in speech and noble of heart. How the hell does that work? Barbarians are warrior savages, set only on destruction, mayhem, and bringing death to enemies. If there was supposed to be a noble class, they should've made something stupid like a sanctimonious Paladin or something. You can't make a ho a housewife, and you can't make a Barbarian a noble.

@Beefcarcass: Well, think of it like WoW orcs. Usually, in fantasy settings, Orcs are mostly beast-like savages, yet in WoW they had noble roots. Barbarian was kind of a derogatory name given to them by the other people who only knew of there savageness and brutality in battle.

Holy !@#$,i can see a barb pwn in PVP . The skills are freaking powerful, you cant run away from a barb, you can hardly CC him,if he gets stunned feared or rooted he recovers 15% life, and finally if you bring him down to 20% life he takes 50% damage and all skills cost no fury,Then BAM!!!! he berserks in your face and crushes you,leech back to full life then get on to another target. How do you kill this beast? Play another barb!!!!!
