Lunging Strike Damage
- This build will be running on a Two-handed Mace set up in order to take advantage of Belligerence, Heavy Handed and Wallop and we are running Ramalandi's Magnum Opus alongside Shard of Verathiel
- Chaos Armor variant will run a Two-handed Mace. (This is subject to change post season going live. Watch Changelog at bottom) *Note Ramalandi's Magnum Opus has been changed to always be active, even if you are not using Dual Wield.

Offense
- Aspect of Moonrise will will increase your attack speed as you hit with a Basic Skill. After 5 attacks you've capped out your bonus. At 5 stacks you gain bonus damage and movement speed for 10 seconds.
- Hectic Aspect is a key part in making sure you have Wrath of the Berserker active 100% of the time. After 5 attacks with a Basic Skill, you reduce your cooldown timers.
- Wrath of the Berserker will be a great source of extra damage as well 10 seconds of Unstoppable and Berserking. We will also be able to use this as a pull, to help group up monsters which increases the damage we do by keeping monsters within our cleave range from Hooves of the Mountain God.
- Aspect of Adaptability when you cast a Basic Skill above 50% Maximum Fury you deal increased damage.

Fury Management
- If you're running Crown of Lucian (The Strongest Option) you may run into Fury Management issues if you don't have the Ring of Starless Skies. Crown of Lucian adds 5 times the normal Fury cost to your Lunging Strike and Ring of Starless Skies cuts that cost in half. If you find yourself running into Fury issues:
- Run a Legendary Helmet with aspects like Hectic Aspect, Undying Aspect, any defensive aspect will do.
- You can also run Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty. This is a great option for anything outside of the Pits until you get Heir of Perdition.
- Use Heir of Perdition. This is actually the easiest way to gear the build since it makes it easy to hit your Critical Strike Chance cap at 100 and gives a lot of Lucky Hit.
- You can also use Ugly Bastard Helmet for the Fury generation and Damage Reduction.
- If running Shard of Verathiel drains too much Fury, take it off until you have enough masterworking to maintain enough Fury Generation.
- Starlight Aspect is a great option for you to match with Marred Guard.
Rune Combinations
Creating Overpower
- Moni and Xan will be your most consistent combination for boss fights to proc Overpower.
- Ahu and Xan will be your fastest mob clearing option. This will allow you to Overpower basically every attack.
Vulnerable + Damage
- Cir and Ceh will spawn wolves that apply Vulnerable Damage and will also help spread the proc from your Paingorger's Gauntlets
- Cir and Thul will Freeze enemies, apply Vulnerable Damage but will not trigger your proc from Paingorger's Gauntlets. You will need to rely on Ground Stomp and Wrath of the Berserker to apply the proc.
- Ahu and Thul will work, but you will won't be able to apply Vulnerable Damage until monsters are below 80% life.
Chaos Armor Runes
- Moni + Tec is used because we have to drop Ground Stomp. With the addition of the Chaos Perk: Unstable Power we need to add Flay onto the Skill Bar to help with the cooldown reduction.

Uniques
Key Build Piece
- Shard of Verathiel gives us a big damage multiplier, with a bunch of other incredibly great stats. It also adds a Fury cost to our Basic Skills allowing us to take advantage of the Ring of Starless Skies.
- Ramaladni's Magnum Opus is an incredibly strong unique if build correctly. It increases your damage by up to .5% per point of Fury you have. The Unique Aspect is the most important part of this weapon, followed by the Maximum Resources. On build that get close to 400 Fury this weapon offers 200% increased damage.
- Paingorger's Gauntlets activate when you damage an enemy with a Non-Basic skill. This can be achieved through Wrath of the Berseker. If you cooldown is too long for this to be effective, you can use the Cir + Ceh rune combination to constantly maintain uptime on your Paingorger's Gauntlets buff.
- Hooves of the Mountain God add a massive form of damage by making Lunging Strike Cleave, meaning it hits multiple targets instead of just one. It also increases your damage when you hit maximum Fury, however your Fury will start to drain at an increasing rate until it hits 0.
Mythic Uniques
- The Grandfather has a Unique Aspect that doubles your Critical Strike Damage bonus. More importantly for this build it gives very high Maximum Resources. That will help scale your damage from Ramaladi's Magnu Opus. It's a great source of Max Life and the All Stats play a huge role in activating your Paragon Nodes.
Ring of Starless Skies adds damage to all of your abilities after you spend primary resources.

Chaos Armor
These Chaos Uniques can be found in any slot combination. You do not have to match the planner exactly, you will just need to find all of these in this combination.
- Rage of Harrogath is vital to this build. Without running Bold Chieftain Aspect your shouts would be off cooldown for far too long. This will allow you to have constant up time on your Shouts and on your Ultimate.
- Hooves of the Mountain God add a massive form of damage by making Lunging Strike Cleave, meaning it hits multiple targets instead of just one. It also increases your damage when you hit maximum Fury, however your Fury will start to drain at an increasing rate until it hits 0. The mechanics of these boots are the reason we cannot use the Chaos Perk: Deafening Chorus since it will stop us from reaching Maximum Fury.
- Battle Trance plays a big role in the build. It adds +30% all resistances and it has a lucky hit chance to apply frenzy stacks even if frenzy isn't on your bar. While you're at max stacks you're going to gain increased damage.
- Ramalandi's Magnum Opus removing this from your weapon slot, adding it into your armor will free up another weapon slot for tempers, it will also add additional damage. It removes having to search for the perfect aspect since that is the most important part of the Ramaladni's.
- Paingorger's Gauntlets activate when you damage an enemy with a Non-Basic skill. This can be achieved through Wrath of the Berseker. If you cooldown is too long for this to be effective, you can use the Cir + Ceh rune combination to constantly maintain uptime on your Paingorger's Gauntlets buff.
