Barbarian Legendary Gear: Full List
The Barbarian (Grimm) in Endless Curse has 16 legendaries of his own: 6 that drop from Normal, 4 that start dropping on Nightmare, and 6 that are Hell only. His skills come in three schools, Berserk, Earthshaker and Ancestral, and his legendaries stack more bleed, leave fissures on the ground, or plant more totems. Below they're sorted by drop difficulty, followed by four combos.
01How to get legendaries
Legendaries are the rarest gear in Endless Curse: orange items with 3–4 random affixes plus one unique effect. Barbarian legendaries only drop while you play the Barbarian, and only work when the Barbarian wears them.
- 0.2% of the gear dropped by normal monsters is legendary, 8% from bosses, and golden unique elites drop one 1% of the time.
- Nightmare multiplies the chance by ×1.5, Hell by ×2.
- Every stage boss always drops a legendary when it falls. That's your most reliable source.
- You can also buy the exact one you want with gems in the legendary shop at the Weaponsmith and the Jeweler, for any difficulty you've unlocked.
02Drops from Normal (6 items)
You can find these as soon as you start playing, and they're the ones most worth watching for early on.
Heart of the Whirlwind Arma
WhirlwindPart of the damage Whirlwind deals comes back to you as HP. The more monsters, the more you heal, so being surrounded is actually when you recover.
Earthrender Botas
Ground Slam
RockfallFissure's cracks don't disappear right away; they stay on the ground and deal damage for a few seconds, and Rockfall drops two more rocks. Lure monsters onto the cracks, then circle around.
Wrath of the Ancients Yelmo
Thunder Shout
Ancient SpearThunder Shout and Ancient Spear get 40% shorter cooldowns, and each cast gives you Fury (at most once per second). More ultimates, more often.
Mammoth Hide Armadura
StompStomp gets a bigger area and stuns 0.5 seconds longer, keeping the monsters around you locked down. A great early lifesaver.
Twinfang Ring Anillo
Double ThrowDouble Throw throws more axes each time, reaching monsters further away too.
Totem Fang Amuleto
Ancestral TotemYou can have one more Ancestral Totem out, and they hit harder. Totems throw ghostly axes on their own, so plant them and forget them.
03Drops from Nightmare (4 items)
These only appear after you've cleared all five stages on Normal and unlocked Nightmare.
Bonecrusher Axe Arma
BashBash is the Barbarian's basic attack from the start. This gives it a bigger area and doubles its stun, so nearby monsters stop with every swing.
Berserker Greaves Botas
FrenzyEvery Frenzy hit stacks attack speed, normally up to 5 stacks; with this you can stack more, getting faster and faster.
Flayer's Ring Anillo
RendRend's bleed keeps stacking, and this lets it stack a few more times. The engine of a bleed build; pair it with the Kingslayer Axe.
Titan's Cuirass Armadura
Leap SlamLeap Slam gets a bigger area and jumps half again as far. Jumping out of a surround or into a pack gets much easier.
04Hell only (6 items)
These only drop on Hell. Their effects are fixed, and they're the core of the Barbarian's endgame gear.
Kingslayer Axe Arma
BashFrenzyRendWhirlwindBerserk skills (Bash, Frenzy, Rend, Whirlwind) deal +50% damage to bleeding monsters. Apply bleed first with Rend or Ancient Spear, then follow up.
Crown of Rage Yelmo
Below 35% HP, all your skills get −20% cooldown. A high-risk, high-reward helm; best worn when you have a way to heal (like the Heart of the Whirlwind).
Heart of the Mountain Armadura
Ground SlamStompRockfallFissure gets one more segment, and Stomp and Rockfall get +30% area. Boosts the whole Earthshaker school: the core of an Earthshaker build.
Quakewalker Botas
Leap SlamGround SlamLeap Slam also sends out a Fissure when you land (half damage), even if you haven't learned Fissure (a level 1 one). One skill doing the work of two; with the Heart of the Mountain the cracks get even longer.
Ancestral Pact Anillo
Ancestral TotemDouble ThrowThunder ShoutAncient SpearOne more totem, and Ancestral skills (Double Throw, Thunder Shout, Ancestral Totem, Ancient Spear) deal +20% damage. Wear it with the Totem Fang to have even more totems out at once.
Immortals' Fury Amuleto
Call of the AncientsUsing your ultimate, Call of the Ancients, makes you invulnerable for 1.5 seconds, and Fury fills a little faster. When things get dangerous, your ultimate is a way out.
05Recommended combos
You can only wear one item per slot, so pick combos that boost each other. None of these four combos overlap on slots.
Berserk bleed
Rend stacks bleed layer by layer, the Kingslayer Axe gives Berserk skills +50% against bleeding monsters, and Frenzy gets faster the more you hit. Whirlwind already does 30% more to bleeding monsters, so it fits right in too.
Earthshaker
Leap Slam adds a Fissure on landing, the Heart of the Mountain makes Fissure longer and Stomp and Rockfall bigger, and the Hourglass of Time cuts cooldowns.
Ancestral Totem
The Totem Fang and the Ancestral Pact each add one more totem and boost Ancestral damage; Wrath of the Ancients shortens Thunder Shout and Ancient Spear cooldowns and builds Fury on the side.
Normal starter
All three drop from Normal: life-stealing Whirlwind, stunning Stomp, and fissures that stay on the ground. Tanky and easy to play.
06General legendaries the Barbarian can use
There are also 9 general legendaries for any class that the Barbarian can wear. With his big HP pool and fighting up close, Thornmail is a great fit, reflecting damage back at monsters that touch you; the Hourglass of Time is useful for every build.See the full guide to general legendaries.

The Heart of the Whirlwind and the Mammoth Hide, which drop from Normal. One makes Whirlwind heal you, the other makes Stomp stun. Tanky and safe early on.
