Build Overview

The Lunging Strike Barbarian Build Guide teaches you about Gear, Skills, Paragon, Playstyle & Seasonal Mechanics in Diablo 4. This build gains insane power from Ramaladni's Magnum Opus combined with Hooves of the Mountain God and Paingorger's Gauntlets for some really powerful damage.

Please read through the How it works section of the planner and if you have further questions you can join me live on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and X. If you have questions while I'm not live, join Discord. We have a team and community ready to answer all your questions! You can also check out Cliptis.com for a collection of all my How-To guides.

Technique

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

Example:

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 Two-handed Mace as your Arsenal selection

Fury Management

Shard of Verathiel will cause Frenzy to cost Fury. That combined with Ramaladni's Magnum Opus can be a strain on your fury. Below is your steps to manage that.

Affixes

Resource Generation will help increase the amount of Fury you gain and pairs really well with Rallying Cry. You can Temper this onto your Rings and Amulet.
Fury Regeneration needs to be added onto the Helmet, Chest piece, Pants and Boots.
Do not spam Lunging Strike if you are not near monsters if you can't maintain Fury.

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
