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

Whirlwind Earthquake Rotation

Start with Rallying Cry to generate Fury from Tibault's Will
Use Whirlwind and hold down the key-bind for it.
Use Shouts should not be used all at once. Guttural Yell in your Skill Tree reduces damage that
enemies do when they are effected by Shouts.
Use Iron Skin when you take heavy damage.

Hardcore Characters

Build defenses before offenses always! See below for more details.

This build will function with the Melted Heart of Selig and will be incredibly tanky for anyone playing on Hardcore. However, please do this at the risk of knowing that if you do not generate Fury as soon as you leave town, you will die. It does not matter if if it on your horse, or walking. You can use abilities such as Rallying Cry, Ground Stomp or even Fury Per Second if you can slot it in to make sure you always have Fury.

In your Skill Tree you'll need to make sure you have nodes like Defensive Stance, Aggressive Resistance and Martial Vigor even if it's not in the guide for Softcore characters. Walking Arsenal is amazing for maintaining Unstoppable and helping you generate Fury.

In your Paragon Board make sure you add bare minimum to your Glyphs then move on to all your Legendary Nodes before going into every Defensive Node as possible, except for Maximum Life. If you are nervous about dying, start by replacing your offensive glyphs like Might or Revenge with Glyphs like Territorial and Undaunted.
