Description
Passive - Improves defense rating.
Key details
- Iron Skin greatly increases the Barbarian's defense and is a prerequisite for the extremely effective Natural Resistance.
- Most barbarians are fine with just a few points in this skill but builds that call for high defense will want to max it and pair it with high-level Shout for the utmost defensive capacity.
D2Emu Tips
- If given the choice between investing in Shout or Iron Skin, Shout is generally preferred, if for no other reason than the duration increase to Battle Orders and Battle Command.
