Diablo 4 has various ways for players to customize their character. From the start of the game, players are first left to create the character that they will use for the rest of the game; after some exploration, players will then begin to find new pieces of armor to equip.
Salvaging this gear at a Blacksmith allows players to then wear the style of this armor permanently without needing to have that gear equipped. Although all classes share the same names of armor, they all appear differently on the character. Barbarians may appear as if they don't wear much attire, as seen from the character customization screen; however, this lethal class still has plenty of brilliant armor options for gamers to choose from.
8 Weathered
Surprisingly, a brilliant style of armor that can be found early into the game that many players are likely to enjoy is the Weathered look for their Barbarian. While the original colors may not be something players favor, this can easily be changed by selecting a different pigment.
Unlike many of the other helmets in Diablo 4, this fluffy hat that makes the player look like a Yak doesn't cover the entirety of the player's face; allowing some of the previous customization to peek through. Besides this, the Weathered armor is a great starting set to also mix and match gear from in the case of not wanting to wear the entire set.
7 Boneweave
While Weathered can be found fast when exploring across Sanctuary, others will be waiting awhile to get their hands on the entire Boneweave set. This is because this armor can only be found through legendary equipment that can be incredibly rare at times.
Players could just wear this armor, although if they wanted to be able to change its pigment, they would have to sacrifice the gear as salvage. While the helmet is quite questionable to some, the chest piece and pants certainly convinced many players to use this set.
6 Etched
Another interesting choice of armor for some players is the Etched set. While compared to other sets of armor, this may seem like quite the simple set, Etched as one of the more intriguing helmets that completely cover the player's face. Etched also has many pieces that players may prefer to use on their own instead of equipping the entire set.
Gamers need not worry about the basic brown coloring of the leather, as salvaging this set means these colors can be swapped out for something a lot more exciting. Besides this, the Etched set is sure to make players feel as if their Barbarian is looking the part.
5 Fur-Lined
Some players may argue that many of the barbarian armor options give little protection to their character, even though their defense is high. Thankfully, sets like the Fur-Lined armor gives players that immersion they were looking for.
Equipped with steel armor and a magnificent thick fur cape, many players are sure to be thrilled to look like some sort of valiant knight instead of the absent-minded barbarian many RPGs commonly portray the class as. Even without a pigment equipped, the Fur-Lined set is incredible and is only made better through the various color options.
4 Sand-Worn
The armor in Diablo 4 is themed to match the different regions and cultures of Sanctuary. While some of the sets feel as if they match the Region of the Fractured Peaks, others look as if they match the themes of different areas.
Sand-Worn is one of those sets that seems incredibly out of place when exploring the snowy regions of the map, but once walking upon the sands, this outfit feels at home. Belonging is only one reason to wear this outfit, as the equipment looks astounding on both male and female Barbarians.
3 Highland
Continuing with region-specific gear, the Highland outfit looks right at home in the region of Scosglen. When unlocking the set through random chance gear drops, completing the entire outfit will make the player look as if their Barbarian comes from a Druidic clan.
While the outfit may make some players' characters look a little oddly shaped; the best part about this gear is how the chest piece and gauntlets connect together to make the player look as if their arms are covered in leather leaves or feathers. The large pauldrons are also sure to charm some players that wish for their character to look more intimidating.
2 Coven
Although the Coven armor isn't legendary, many players have taken a liking to this outfit. The boots of the outfit may not be that interesting when compared to the other types of gear available, but that doesn't take away from how intimidating this set is for Barbarians that wear it.
Unsurprisingly, the Coven armor gives a cult-like style to the Barbarian's gear with some sort of demon medallion on their belt and an ominous helmet that leaves only the player's chin revealed. Overall, the Coven outfit plays nicely with the dark fantasy atmosphere that makes up the story and setting of Diablo 4.
1 Adventurer
Out of all the available armor for Barbarians, the greatest outfit players can equip is the Adventurer Set. For any players that think themselves to be Magpies, this armor is incredibly shiny and is sure to catch any player's eye.
Not only this, but it's also a legendary set that looks as if it was high-end; players are sure to flaunt their time in Diablo 4 with this ram-covered gear. There is a continuous theme across the armor that almost makes it look as if the player was a mercenary from Ancient Greece. If there was nothing else to love about the gear, the helmet is also one of the few that allows the player to see their face once again.
Diablo 4 is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
