Thread: Monk or Barbarian?

Could someone explain to me the difference between Monk and Barbarian? I know they LOOK different and they're abilities have different visuals. But to me, they seem basically the same role: a strong melee fighter. Does the Barbarian have more Health while the Monk does more damage? That's my best guess

From what it looks like the Barbarian is more about brute force and wielding huge weapons such as 2 handed swords and mauls. The Monk is more about whipping around from target to target doing fast damage and being agile.

You're probably right about the Barb having more health but remember in the Diablo games there aren't set roles such as healer, dps, tank...etc that mmorpgs have to fill. EVERY class is dps just with different styles

I agree what Sirlaughalot said.
