Nerves of Steel Passive Receiving fatal damage instead reduces the Barbarian to 15% of his/her maximum Life. For 3 seconds afterward, the Barbarian takes 95% reduced damage and gains immunity to all control-impairing effects. This effect may only occur once every 60 seconds. The trials begin with childhood; skinning ferocious beasts, climbing windswept cliffs and carrying weapons heavy enough to make a southern soldier weep. Is it any wonder that they never give ground? — Sir Aric of Duncraig |
Nerves of Steel is a Barbarian passive skill in Diablo III, unlocked at character level 13.
The 60-seconds cooldown may not be reduced by normal means, only being removed if the Barbarian dies.
For obvious reasons, this skill is considered mandatory for Hardcore characters.

Originally, this skill was increasing the Barbarian's Armor by half of their total Vitality. In patch 2.2.0, it was replaced with a life-saving mechanic, making Barbarians the last class to gain one.
