The best Legendary Aspects for Barbarians in Diablo 4 will depend upon your build, but the best ones, due to their incredible and versatile abilities, include the following:

Ability and location of all the best Aspects for Barbarians

For most of these Legendary Aspects, you will find them in specific dungeons. However, there are a couple that you can only obtain through drops, so this means farming Nightmare Dungeons in World Tier Three and onward.

There is only one Aspect you can get in the Season One journey. It’s not clear whether you’ll be able to get this outside of Season One, but if it’s attached to an item, you can carry it over to your main character. But it’s worth farming for now, just in case it won’t be available once the season ends.

Weapon Master’s AspectYour Weapon Mastery Skills will now have an additional Charge.

You will gain a lucky hit. When you damage an enemy with a Weapon Mastery Skill, there’s an increased chance to stun them for a couple of seconds.  
This can only be obtained through random Legendary drops.

Aspect Of Burning RageWhile Berserking, you deal additional Fire damage to your surrounding enemies every second.This can only be obtained through random Legendary drops.
Aspect Of The UmbralRestore at least one of your Primary Resources when you CC an enemy.Champion’s Demise, Untamed Scarps, Dry Steppes
Bold Chieftain’s AspectWhenever you cast a Shout Skill, its cooldown will be reduced by at least one second for every nearby enemy. And this can stack up to a maximum of six seconds. Obtained in Season One.

When deciding on the Aspects for my Barbarian build, choosing which ones would be best was difficult. Ultimately, I got all of them because the best end-game builds change regularly, especially when Blizzard makes massive changes to classes and aspects. 

So, it’s a good idea to complete the dungeons, get what you need, and earn some Renown. That way, if an update changes your end-game build drastically, you can easily switch to something more meta, sustainable, and durable.
