Well visiting the armory should not be a problem. I have tried that and that didnīt pose any problems for me.

Does he say "To become a barbarian you have to....." or does he remain silent? If he remains silent it is a bug. Installing the patch should help you out there. Also check the number of kills. Has it increased or has it perhaps dropped to a lower number? That happened to me once. My proud paladin with 500+ kills suddenly had only killed 12!
