Weapons Master Passive Gain a bonus based on the weapon type of the main hand weapon equipped. "My men ambushed the traveler in the woods, but it was we who were surprised. Such keen senses, swift motions, flawless strikes. We never stood a chance." — Redjack the Bandit

Weapons Master is a Barbarian passive skill in Diablo III, unlocked at character level 16. It appears to be based on the classic Combat Masteries branch.

In-game

The Barbarian gains a bonus based on a weapon type equipped (only the weapon in main hand counts, so dual-wielding two different weapons will not grant any further bonus). Each type mentioned includes the two-handed variant of that weapon type (provided one exists).

• Swords / Daggers: 8% increased damage with all skills (not multiplicative to other similar effects)
• Maces / Axes: 5% Critical Hit Chance
• Polearms / Spears: 8% attack speed
• Mighty Weapons: additional 2 Fury per attack that hits at least one enemy (the amount does not change with Proc Coefficient of the skill or number of enemies hit)
