The Barbarian is noteworthy for their d12 Hit Dice, their fast speed, their Rage which gives them a turn where they have +4 to Strength, +4 to Constitution, and a host of valuable immunities, as well as the passive physical resistances they acquire in the midgame.
However, for all this they remain a purely martial class, and therefore their route is limited by what they can kite, and what potions they can utilize. Fortunately, they have little trouble with full-clearing Easthaven provided the right strategy is utilized, and have the best chance of any martial class at being able to clear Wolf Valley.
As part of an ambitious project to create a comprehensive guide for solo, Heart of Fury, EL1, Ironman challenge runs I will be doing them with every single class. The basic thread is here:

A few notes:
(1) Rolls are done with the console + subtraction. I cannot find an autoroller for Linux that I can make work. Disdain me if you must, but these will only increase the consistency, not the reliability, and practicality of a run. Yes, it is not as great an expression of skill. Yes, I'm okay with that.
(2) Double quest XP is on. It's a part of the game mode, and classes need to hit certain benchmarks at specific times for a reliable and practical run. This helps with that.
