Build Overview

The Ancient Bro'Barian build relies on Summons to deal massive amounts of damage at once. We are using the new updated skill tree, paired with Arreat's Bearing and Berú of Bul-Kathos' Pride set to command an army! This is not a pet build, pets are for Druids, it's not a minion build, Minions are for Necromancers. This is the Barbarian Summoning build, summoning our Ancestors to fight along side us!

Technique

When choosing your Barbarian Weapon Expertise Technique, you do not have to be using the weapon of the Weapon Expertise Technique you chose.

This is only an example to help you understand how Expertise works. Refer to the Arsenal Selection for this builds set up:

  • Expertise chosen is Polearm - 15%(x) increased Lucky Hit Chance and you deal 15(x) increased damage while healthy
  • Arsenal Selection: Mace - Lucky Hit: Chance to gain 5 Fury when hitting an enemy. Double the amount of Fury gained while Berserking and you deal 15(x) Critical Strike Damage while Berserking.

With the above set up, you gain the Weapon Expertise Technique bonus of having your Arsenal Selection set to Two-Handed Mace, as well as the Weapon Expertise Technique bonus for the Polearm Technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

Build Overview

If you would like a complete overview of how the Barbarian works use this video guide: Barbarian Deep Dive

This build relies on the power of Ancients you summon to do all the damage for you. You pair this with Aspect of Apogeic Furor and it allows you to reset your cooldowns of all of your skills, and have constant uptime. Each skill also summons an Ancient, so the faster we cast our skills, the more Summons we have.

For the Push variant, we are relying on specific Cooldown breakpoints and Mightiest Mighty Throw with Empowered Call of the Ancients. This gives us more Summons which is more damage. It works because Mightiest Mighty Throw now becomes an Ultimate skill, so it also activates Aspect of Apogeic Furor. This has a very strict rotation which will require some practice.

Variant breakdown

  • Legendary is your starter. This will be fresh to 70, just putting gear together.
  • Leap will have options to add Mythics, is very fast and can kill bosses. Video Guide
  • Speed is mainly for Nightmare Dungeons, Helltides, The Undercity and Pit 115 and lower. Video Guide
  • Push can be used for any content, it isn't always the fastest but you can swap in Leap for content outside the Pits/Tower.

Arsenal Selection

This build will be running on a Polearm set up. Depending on the variant Mighty Throw or Leap will have your Polearm selected as your weapon assignment.

Fury Management

Affixes

  • Resource Generation will help increase the amount of Fury you gain whenever you generate Fury from any source and pairs really well with Rallying Cry.
  • Fury Regeneration needs to be added onto:
    • Helmet
    • Chest piece
    • Pants
    • Boots
  • You can also use Tempers that add Lucky hit chance to restore primary resources. This can be placed on:
    • Weapons
    • Jewelry
  • Do not spam you main ability if you are not near monsters if you can't maintain Fury. Hitting monsters using Wrath generates Fury.
  • If you do not have Ring of Starless Skies you can always add in a couple of Resource Cost Reduction affixes onto your Two-handed Weapons to mimic that effect.

Defense

  • Take all defense nodes inside the Paragon board first. All Maximum Life, Resistances, and Armor nodes.
  • You can use glyphs like Ire or Territorial to help keep yourself alive.
  • Make sure all your gear has Maximum Life on it and you can then add Resistances, and Armor as needed.
  • Life on Hit is a great option for you, but it will only heal you when you hit with Leap

Combos Setups For Any Variant

  • Leap
    • Chainscourged Mail + Arreat's Bearing + Ring of Starless Skies + Empowered Call of the Ancients - Most Ancients
    • Chainscourged Mail + Crown of Lucion + Ring of Starless Skies + Empowered Call of the Ancients - Stronger with less Ancients
    • Arreat's Bearing + Crown of Lucion + Ring of Starless Skies + Empowered Call of the Ancients - Strongest but slower Leap
  • Bosses / Push
    • Arreat's Bearing + Mighty Throw + Iron Skin + Empowered Call of the Ancients

So I tried this build and noticed with T12 mephisto that the damage drops for some reason? Idk if it’s just a bug but I’ll go from 700B to 1-5B in matter of seconds. Not sure why and still testing to see if the issue is something with how ancients spawn or not.

I am experiencing the exact same issue. It's driving me nuts. I am running pit120s easily and yet T12 meph is strangely difficult. I can destroy the 1st two health breakpoints but the 3rd one my dps drops dramatically. I am going to test this by joining a friends game and attempting meph. This feels like a bug. Not 100% sure though.

This build brought me back to Barb a few seasons ago and i still have fun with it. Question- You said to Reroll Rain Ranks to Nature Spells to Maximum Resources, but my Rain already has max resources so what do i reroll it to or do these old diablo items allow it twice?

You can have it on there twice.

Your builds are great! I have a question: wouldn't nemesis bracers work great on this? You have a free charm slot for it(or fists of fury).

The push variant on here doesn't align with your YT video of this build. There's no mention on the planner to add the double max resource to the build, max life on tusk, or life at all. The boots in the video have Earthstriker aspect, where the build says different and few more to mention.

The video guide mentions that Mobalytics does not allow rerolling on Rain currently and I'm waiting for a fix. It also mentions that the Kullean and Boots aspects are interchangeable as well as Strength can always be replaced for Maximum life if you're feeling squishy. Since this is a push version Strength gives more damage.

Selig is not the best option for this build. It can be used but the damage drop is noticeable.

My man... literally the only content creator I enjoy watching...


Ive been a Ww barb since the 90s in D2 then d2 LOD....

This build has CHANGED MY LIFE !!! Sooo much fun lol hats off to you my man.... it was an alternate char so I saved up experience tombs and just hopped into the pit after setting up the skill tree and paragon board (with no glyphs) i was doing 100s of billions of dmg with only 3 glyphs lol... im paragon 258... so i had the whole board filled out essentially just no max glyphs power... finally just got my might glyphs (last one) let's see how this bro pounds when all glyphs are 150 hahaha

It is mentioned that the Selig variant is the best to push but I can’t see the tab for it, guessing is still under testing this season? Is the push one updates? Thanks for all the content!
