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 Plays

Rupture

  • Cast Wrath of the Berserker when near a group of enemies to pull them in.
  • Use Ground Stomp to cast an Earthquake and reset up to 15 seconds off of Wrath of the Berserker cooldown.
  • Cast Death Blow to add stacking damage to Sabre of Tsasgal
  • Cast Rupture as often as possible.

How it Works

Rupture Damage

This build will be running on a Two-handed Sword set up. That means Two-Handed Sword will be selected for Rupture in order to take advantage of your Skill Points.

Offense

  • Aspect of Earthquakes will give you additional damage for your Dust Devils when you stand inside of an Earthquake and for 4 seconds after you leave that Earthquake.
  • Vehement Brawler's Aspect gives you damage whenever you cast your ultimate skill. This also increases the ranks of the Ultimate which reduces it's cooldown as well.
  • Aspect of Encroaching Wrath gives your Weapon Mastery skills addition damage after you spend 100 Fury.
  • Wanton Rupture Aspect will double the hit size of your Rupture and increase the duration of your Bleeds, which in turn will increase the damage of Rupture.

Rune Combinations

Creating Earthquakes

  • Bac + Tec will be your end game choice. As you move, you cast Earthquakes.
  • Neo + Tec if you deal damage, but don't take any damage every 2 seconds you will cast an Earthquake.
  • Yax + Tec you will need to drink a Healing Potion in order to proc an Earthquake.

Vulnerable

  • Exploit Glyph will be your source of Vulnerable Damage early to mid-game.
  • Fists of Fate with a Greater Affix (the star) on Lucky Hit: Up to a [X%] Chance To Make Enemies Vulnerable For 3 Seconds

Uniques

Key Build Piece

  • The Third Blade is the MOST important piece in this build. It converts Rupture from a Weapon Mastery skill to a Core skill, it now has no cooldown and costs Fury.
  • Rage of Harrogath will be used in the mid-game stages to help reset the cooldown of your Ultimate and Iron Skin
  • Ugly Bastard Helm in combination with the Harlequin Crest give you enough Cooldown Reduction to keep Wrath of the Berserker off Cooldown.

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 Ramaladni's Magnum 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.
  • Heir of Perdition this is a great source for Critical Strike Chance, Movement Speed, and damage.
