Barbarian Defensive Skills in Diablo 4 help to keep the Barbarian alive by reducing damage, increasing movement speed, and stunning enemies. Some Barbarian Defensive Skills generate Fury, and others do not, but all Barbarian Defensive Skills have a Cooldown. This means that they cannot be used at will, and timing is crucial to the success of their use. There are 4 Barbarian Defensive Skills in Diabo IV, and these are: Rallying Cry, Ground Stomp, Undying Rage, and Challenging Shout. Below you can see what each of these Barbarian Defensive Skills do and how long their Cooldowns are.
