Im guessing this may have something to do with the rouge portrait
Act 5 - Barbarian Warrior
- Can now gain + Barbarian skill bonuses from gear
- A new ferocious Barbarian is available for hire from Qual-Kehk. These warriors cannot use two-handed swords. but are well trained in the art of dual wielding. Utilizing the Frenzy, Taunt, and Iron Skin abilities, they lure enemies in and unleash a fierce barrage of attacks.
I think it is supposed to say “cannot equip” and that this is intended. I might be wrong though. They can only equip 1handed swords from my testing, nothing else.
