Hell VIII exclusive Legendary Items to help players deal with the most powerful agents of Hell.
It’s as if Blizzard is subtly hinting at even more challenging Hell Difficulties coming in the future following the release of another set of 36 Legendary Items in the February 20 Content Update.
The new Legendary Items are exclusive to Hell VIII Difficulty only, which should motivate players to grind and try to reach the highest available difficulty currently in the game.
This new set of Legendary Items isn’t focused on a single combat dynamic like Legendary Items the devs added earlier. Instead, the Legendary Items aim to give each class and most of their abilities unique buffs and effects and allow players to build their characters to be more flexible in-game.

The new Legendary Items for the Barbarian class affect Hammer of the Ancients, Ground Stomp, Demoralizing Roar, Frenzy, Sprint, and Furious Charge. Each ability will gain various buffs and effects and help the Barbarian lock down enemies and set them up for powerful combos.
