Endgame Whirlwind Mace

This build spins and it wins, it's as simple as that. The whirlwind barb is still one of the games strongest builds for clearing and single target despite the repeated nerfs and this build is min-maxed to help you deal with all the content in the game.

1. Gameplay is rather simple, we use our shouts to help generate fury (Rallying Cry), keep us alive (Challenging Shout), and to increase our damage and provide fortify (War Cry).
2. If we need to generate extra fury, or want to activate our Expectant Aspect or Mortal Draw Glyphs we can attack with Lunging Strike. Note that this also grants us Berserking on crit which is a nice little damage boost.
3. Lunging Strike is also a great gap closer and can be used to quickly reposition.
4. Use Kick to apply Vulnerable to enemies that managed to survive past the first 3 seconds of combat with you or to knock dangerous foes into walls so that they can be stunned and killed.
5. Kick **helps tremendously vs bosses as it allows us to have a much higher uptime on Vulnerable in these longer fights. You will do a TON more damage while Vulnerable is up so it is okay to stall for **Kick or Exploit to come off cooldown during a boss fight.
6. Always try to start spinning after topping off your fury and maximizng your Limitless Rage aspect. You can tell when it's ready by the icon above your action bar reaching a count of 60.
7. Rallying Cry is our sole source of Unstoppable in this setup so you need to be careful when it is not up to not get crowd controlled. Likewise Challenging Shout provides a TON of defense so it is okay to back off and play safe when it is on cooldown.

Hard VS Easy

When completing easier content you may actually kill enemies too quickly for the build to feel smooth while using Unbridled Rage. Instead you can use Unconstrained to massively reduce your fury costs and keep you spinning for longer.

You can also add in the Rage of Harrogath chest armor if you want faster shout cooldowns, however make sure to move the Disobedience Aspect elsewhere to maintain the massive defensive boon it provides. Also make sure you are applying bleed with the Two-Handed Sword Expertise.

Bossing Aspects

Helm = Relentless Berserker's Aspect

• Replace Grasping Whirlwind for more Berserk uptime

Ring 1 = Berserk Fury

• Replace Bold Chieftans with more Fury generation

Paragon Board

Exploit is also extremely important to get online asap so that you can have Vulnerable active on every enemy you hit. Then prioritize getting the Wrath Glpyh setup in the Warbringer or Bone Breaker board. This glyph helps provide a lot of fury generation to keep us spinning and winning.

Eventually add the Decimator and Weapons Master boards to your character. You may even want to respec so that they are your first and second board so you have an easier time unlocking all the bonus stats on these two boards.

While you level up you can skip some of the defensive nodes or less important damage nodes; however, you want to make sure you are picking up all the vulnerable damage nodes in Decimator. Feel free to adjust more towards defenses if you feel squishy.

Your pathing may differ depending on gear choice and stats.
Still, we will go over optimal boards and the glyph locations:

• Starting Board: Mortal Draw
• Decimator: Marshal
• Weapons Mastery: Might
• Warbringer: Exploit
• Bone Breaker: Wrath
