Barbarians are high-damage sellers and takers in Baldur’s Gate 3, and their three subclasses barely change how they go about being a greater Barbarian. Right here’s a short description of every Barbarian subclass and what they instantly unlock, and I ranked one of the best Barbarian subclasses from finest to worst.
Wildheart – Wildheart Barbarians are attuned to nature; these Barbarians are extra Druid-like. You instantly unlock Converse with Animals which is a good spell to have, particularly if you wish to resolve the unusual ox puzzle. Berserker – Berserk is the standard Barbarian subclass that makes you rage even tougher. Rage is changed with Frenzy which supplies you all the advantages of Rage however you additionally get Frenzied Strike and Frenzied Throw. Wild Magic – Wild Magic is a Barbarian subclass that unleashes your interior magic. Don’t fear, you gained’t flip right into a full-blown Wizard with Wild Magic — you do get Rage: Wild Magic which unleashes a random spell whenever you go into Rage mode and Magic Consciousness which is a bonus motion you should utilize to have you ever and allies inside 10 ft of you achieve proficiency towards spell Saving Throws.
This could be controversial, however I believe Wildheart is one of the best Barbarian subclass due to all of the wonderful actions you get entry to. Berserk is the obvious Barbarian subclass that makes you stronger by means of actions that make you rage tougher. I personally suppose Wild Magic is well probably the most enjoyable Barbarian subclass as a result of the randomness of Rage: Wild Magic is a variety of enjoyable, however it’s undoubtedly not one of the best Barbarian subclass.

You may select between 5 Bestial Hearts: Bear, Eagle, Elk, Tiger, and Wolf. All of them offer you a bonus whenever you enter Rage, include an additional distinctive motion, and you may solely choose one, however you possibly can change it whenever you degree up.

You additionally get an Animal Facet at degree six. There are 10 Animal Facets to select from and each offers you some sort of everlasting buff. You achieve one other Animal Facet at degree 10 which suggests you get two in complete.

Basically, I believe enjoying a Barbarian could be a bit stale, however the Barbarian Wildheart subclass makes the construct way more enjoyable. There are a variety of construct choices with the Wildheart subclass, to not point out the multiclass potential, and all of them are unbelievable choices.
Berserk
The Barbarian Berserk subclass adjustments your Rage to Frenzy which makes you extra resistance to wreck and also you’ll deal much more harm. You’ll additionally get Frenzied Strike and Frienzied Throw which let you use the atmosphere to struggle which may be a variety of enjoyable.
At degree six, you get Senseless Rage which lets you not get Charmed or Frightened and the Calm Feelings spell doesn’t cease your rage. At degree 10, you get Intimidating Presence that instills Concern right into a goal. With each degree up as a Barbarian Berserk, you achieve much more HP and methods to dish out excessive harm.
It could possibly be stated that the Berserk subclass is one of the best Barbarian subclass for his or her position of being a tank and large harm supplier. Nonetheless, I believe Wildheart has extra potential for enjoyable which is essential in an RPG like BG3. If you wish to keep within the lane of going loopy and dealing and taking tons of harm, Berserk is the way in which to go.
Wild Magic
Sorcerers have a Wild Magic subclass, however so do Barbarians and the Barbarian Wild Magic construct is admittedly enjoyable. In order for you a chaotic Barbarian construct that provides a component of shock and likelihood to your playthrough, then go together with Wild Magic.
With Wild Magic, each time you Rage, you forged a random spell which good be good or could possibly be unhealthy. At degree six and 9, you achieve Bolstering Magic: Boon spell slots that will let you grant your self or your ally an extra 1d4 to their Assault Rolls and talent checks. At degree 10, you get Unstable Backlash which triggers one other Wild Magic impact whenever you take harm or fail a saving throw.
Wild Magic is certainly not one of the best Barbarian subclass, however I believe it’s the most enjoyable. I do know it’s not like Barbarians to be stealthy, however if you wish to have a variety of enjoyable in Baldur’s Gate 3 you should learn to stealth your whole celebration simply.
