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.

How it Works

Build Overview

Arsenal Selection

This build will be running on a Dual Wield set up and you will need one Mace + Ramaladni's Magnum Opus. We are using Crusher which is only bugged when using a Two-handed Mace. That means your Two One-handed weapons will be selected for Double Swing. This will allow you to take advantage of your Skill Points.

Overpower has changed with the launch of the Lord of Hatred. It is no longer a multiplier, it acts as a buff to your damage. There are ways of taking that buff and turning it into multipliers with items like Banished Lord's Talisman. The one thing that Overpower does is add a lot of additive damage. This is harder to come by, so it becomes a very valuable resource.

Depending on how you build your build, you will have several different ways of generating overpower. It will be important to maintain the buff. Your overpower buff will last for 4 seconds and then 1 stack will be removed. If you have something like Blood Boiling Aspect and you pair it with Dominate eventually will have stacks of overpower 100% of the time. This is just one example of how you can gain Overpower stacks.

If you want to learn the basics about Multipliers watch this video: Additive vs. Multiplicative Damage video.

How this build uses Overpower

This build will be running Banished Lord's Talisman in your charm slow. This will give you 4 stacks of Overpower after spending 275 Fury. We are also gaining from Blood Boiling Aspect which is our most important Aspect for this build. Because your stacks fall off one at a time every 4 seconds, every 6 seconds Blood Boiling Aspect adds another rank of Overpower and you will never lose your stacks.

Fury Management

The only Fury spender in this build is Rallying Cry. If you run out of Fury it's ok, it's not going to stop Summons from spawning. It means you just don't get the Ancient from Rallying Cry. This will only be an issue in the Push variant because of Crown of Lucion. To solve this issue.

  • Chance to Restore Primary Resources as an affix will be activated by your Summons
    • You will need it on both Dual-wield weapons and your Two-handed Slashing weapon.
  • If this isn't enough, you can add Resource Generation onto your Amulet temper.

Defense (Non-Selig)

  • 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
