Diablo 4 Barbarian BuildBig Hitter Walking Arsenal OP

The first major component to this build is Berserking through this buff we generate a ton of fury thanks to Berserk Fury damage reduction through Aggressive Resistance and a whole bunch of bonus damage.

We maintain our “Berserking” buff through Violent Upheaval which so long as we hit a couple of enemies with it will give us up to 3 seconds of berserking.

As well as Warrior’s Death Blow which grants 3 seconds of berserking so long as we hit a single enemy. (if you’re finding you have fury issues, swap to Fighter’s Death Blow for now)

Thanks to some of the new changes we can finally integrate Overpower into our builds! And Walking Arsenal is the perfect place to start.

We have Earth Strikers which will net us a guaranteed overpower every 8th weapon swap, in addition to this we have Dominate a rare paragon glyph that grants us an overpower every 30 seconds and finally one of the new vampire powers Blood Boil which guarantees an overpower every 20 seconds.

Put it all together and you have a fast-moving, hard-hitting tanky build with an actual rotation ;)

This build has no specific Unique requirements. Though it is at the very least recommended to get all the Aspects recommended above.

Until you're able to get your hands on a Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty Take the stats as recommended in the gear sheet and use aspect of Might

Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty Is a new unique helmet being introduced to the game in season 2. It’s also a big part of why Berserking is looking so strong this season too!

When we proc a Berserking from any source there is an up to 60% chance that we gain 15%x damage, 10% CDR, and 2 Fury per second! This is ridiculously powerful!

Overkill Greatly increases our damage output with Deathblow by providing additional ranks to the spell! We get double luck as the affixes on the weapon are also very good for this build!

And if you're lucky enough to get them Harlequins Crest swap out whatever helmet you're using ;)

It's important you make sure to be using the correct weapon loadout:

1. 2-Handed Bludgeoning weapon for Death Blow
2. Dual Wield weapon for Lunging Strike
3. 2-Handed Slashing weapon Upheaval

The preferred setup for this build will be Triple Mace for the overpower implicit however if you have a weapon on another type with perfect stats I would stick with it until you find a mace of similar quality.

Finally for your Weapon Technique set that to 2-Handed Axe for the best DPS

It’s important to focus on Berserking uptime, while berserking you’ll have a powerful damage reduction passive Aggressive Resistance active too.

I recommend that you pocket (save) Iron Skin for any time that you might be Crowd Controlled. Try not to use it too quickly! if you get stunned while it's on cooldown, it's goodnight for your toon.

Remember, thanks to Undying every time you cast a skill you will heal for 3% life so keep slapping those buttons!

Here are some simple pointers to help you maximize your damage!

Keep all 3 Walking Arsenal bonuses active, you can track this by the three icons above your skill bar. This is done by using all three of your attacks, Lunging Strike, Upheaval & Death Blow. The buff lasts for 8 seconds and grants a ton of bonuses when all 3 are up!

Try to always Ground Stomp after casting Iron Maelstrom you’ll get a massive cooldown reduction If you do!

Cast Deathblow the moment you get Encroaching Wrath for a mac daddy hit! But also try to never leave yourself without a stack of Deathblow to cast.

Here’s a quick explanation on which vampiric powers we’re using and why;

Prey on the Weak - This pact provides both a multiplicative damage increase and a new source of vulnerability making it an extremely good offensive pick to boost our DPS.

Undying - With this build, we will be constantly spamming our skills and thanks to this pact each time we do we’ll receive a 3% life heal, which is doubled if our HP falls below 50% It’s a powerful passive that we can take full advantage off with this build.

Sanguine Brace - Nice and simple 8% crit is godly and when combined with a really reliable and consistent way to generate fortify it’s hard to say no to this one.

Accursed Touch - This will be how we’re applying our Vampiric Curse it’s a plug and play passive we can slap on and forget about, nice and easy.

Blood Boil Provides a guaranteed overpower once every 20 seconds a must for this build, in addition also gives a nice amount of AoE Damage!

Lunging Strike we'll hardly ever use this, but it can make a nice gap closer before spinning up :).

Upheaval Besides tearing up asphalt and hitting like a train Upheaval is actually how we're going to be maintaining Berserking. We'll also be using it to spend Fury so we can benefit from Aspect of Encroaching Wrath which will make our Death Blows quite literal.

Iron Skin when combined with Aspect of the Iron Warrior might just be one of the best defensives in the game! Barrier based on missing health, Unstoppable, up to 28% Damage Reduction plus Fortify! All that and a very reasonable cooldown make this an insane pick for this build.

Ground Stomp is a nice big stun coupled with the ability to reduce Iron Maelstroms coolddown by up to 10 seconds!

Death Blow Oooh baby, this season is looking so good for Death Blow. This will be one hard-hitting ability! bosses will cower before it and you'll fold elites in half! also, it'll extend your Berserking.

Iron Maelstrom basically your GTFO button for huge packs of enemies! perfectly suited for all the new open-world content we'll be doing! And thanks to all the weapon swapping we'll be doing the cooldown will be next to nothing!
