10 Things To Do After Completing Diablo 4’s Campaign
If you manage to confront Lilith and live to tell the tale, here are the best things to do next.
Glyph Sockets provide the opportunity for players to customize their build, as well as an additional reward for completing Nightmare Dungeons through Paragon Glyph Upgrades. For a complete list of Barbarian Paragon Glyphs, how to get them, and tips for which glyphs are the best, keep reading.
Updated by Abigail Angell on July 04, 2025:In an attempt to lessen the chokehold Shout Skills have had on the Barbarian Meta, Diablo 4 developers have made substantial balance changes to the class in Season of the Construct. In light of these changes, the effects column of the Paragon Glyphs table has been edited, and the tier list rewritten.
How To Get Paragon Glyphs
Glyphs are primarily dropped by Boss and Elite enemies (rarely, they are found in chests or for sale at a shop). The bigger the boss, the bigger the drop chance for a glyph. This means fightingWorld Bossesor completing Nightmare Dungeons are the best strategies for collecting Paragon Glyphs.
Some glyphs, such as the Abattoir of Zir Event’s Tears of Blood Glyph, are tied to a specific event. If a glyph you were using disappears, or if you’re having trouble getting it to drop, then check to make sure it is not event specific.

Diablo 4: 10 Best Barbarian Aspects, Ranked
Diablo 4’s Barbarian is a powerhouse of destruction, but it can be even more devastating when using the best Aspects for the class.
The Best Paragon Glyphs For Barbarians
While many of the Barbarian’s glyphs are situationally good, five are standouts in almost any build.Ire, Exploit, Territorial, Dominate, and Undauntedsteal the show by being key to most endgame builds in some combination.
The Beserk status condition is a cornerstone of many end-game builds, due to its high damage buff. Thus, it only makes sense that a glyph further increasing the damage output of Berserking would be high-tier. If you feel your damage output is slow or your clear sluggish, consider making use of the Ire Glyph.
Exploit is a glyph that often makes it onto tier lists for a variety of classes. This is no surprise, as the heavy armor and high health of enemies in the late game make the Vulnerable status condition increasingly important. Exploit allows you to deal even more damage to Vulnerable enemies, and wipe the floor with the competition.
As a melee fighter, you’ll be spending lots of time up close and personal with your enemies. As a result, Territorial is a great choice for any Barbarian build. It will help your survivability in the late game as well as boost your damage against close enemies. For the greatest effect, ensure you’ve got plenty of Dexterity Nodes near where you socket this glyph.
The Dominate Glyph excels in end-game content because it guarantees an attack to Overpower approximately every ten seconds. Many cool item effects or ability improvements operate off of Overpowering in the Barbarian class, so this is very useful. As a side benefit, the glyph also pumps up the Overpower Damage your build does - and who can say no to that?
Due to the Barbarian’s lack of shield and melee nature, they rely heavily on Fortify to stay in the fight. To make your Fortify even more potent, use the Undaunted Glyph in a socket near Willpower Nodes. This will boost your damage while Fortified, and cause you to take even less damage in that state.
