Upheaval

The Upheaval Barbarian build is designed around spending as much fury as you can to proc Banished Lord's Talisman. This is why you run the Crown of Lucion any other helmet would not be a good replacement for this. This build is very resource management heavy, and will require some time to learn the play style.

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.

Pure Upheaval

• Cast Call of the Ancients to activate the Fury Generation, Attack Speed and increased Damage.
• Use your Shouts on cooldown, as well as Call of the Ancients.
• Use Ground Stomp to reset the cooldown of Call of the Ancients.
• Cast Upheaval in the direction your enemies are at. It only will hit enemies in front of you.
• Once your buffs are all active, as you pull groups of monsters, constantly spam Upheaval.
• Repeat

Upheaval Damage

This build will be running on a Two-handed Mace set up in order to take advantage of Heavy Handed, Wallop and Brute Force. We are running the Banished Lord's Talisman to help us generate Overpower hits. We combine that with the Crown of Lucion to increase the cost of our Upheaval to 175 *Fury. This means that every 2 attacks with Upheaval you proc the Banished Lord's Talisman. This build runs on very high Resource Generation in order to keep on attacking. If you don't have enough Maximum Fury or Fury Generation you can swap your Key Passives from Unbridled Rage to Unconstrained until you have enough.

Fury Management

DO NOT SPAM UPHEAVAL UNLESS THERE ARE MONSTERS AROUND

To maintain Fury you'll need to have your Call of the Ancients cooldown at 9.5 seconds. That can be done with either a Greater Affix on Arreat's Bearing on the Call of the Ancients Cooldown Reduction (See planner). If you do not have a Greater Affix you can temper Call of the Ancient Cooldown Reduction on your rings. The reason this is so important Korlic generates 10 Fury each time he does damage. The more Ancients you have up, the more Fury you get back.

Using Bold Chieftain's Aspect will allow you to keep Rallying Cry running 100% of the time. This will give you 30% increased Fury generation. If you're still running out of Fury Yen's Blessing is a great way to add more Fury Generation.

For the overworld Fury Issues

• Ahu + Lum
• Igni + Lum
• Zan + Lum
• Bac + Lum
• Lith + Lum

Offense

• Aspect of Sundered Ground gives Upheaval an increase to damage and allows it to hit in a radius in front of you.
• Aspect of Earthquakes increased your damage while standing in an Earthquake and for 4 seconds after you leave it. On top of that, it also increases your Earthquake damage as well.
• Call of the Ancients will be your main source of damage. When you use this Ultimate it will spawn an Earthquake. This Earthquake will be your strongest version. We will be stacking Summon Damage, along with Ultimate Damage which directly affects your Earthquake spawned by Call of the Ancients. That Earthquake also is run through every other Earthquake modifier you have i.e. Aspect of Earthquakes. This results in massive damage!

Uniques

• Crown of Lucion is the key to making this build work. It increases Upheaval Fury Cost, which is important because you need to spend Fury to get guaranteed Overpower hits from Banished Lord's Talisman
• Ring of Red Furor will guarantee every hit of Upheaval is a Critical Strike. Because the Crown of Lucion will make your Upheaval cost more than 100 Fury you'll always have Critical Hits.
• Banished Lord's Talisman is the reason we want to be spending as much Fury as possible. Every 275 Fury spent you get a guaranteed Overpower Hit. Combine this with the Ring of Red Furor every Overpower Hit is a Critical Hit. Whenever our Overpower Hits are Critical Hits the Banished Lord's Talisman increases the damage of those hits.
• Arreat's Bearing is 100% necessary for this build. It will bring the cooldown of your Call of the Ancients down to the lowest it can go. Skills can only gain a total of 75% cooldown reduction and this one piece will give you that.
• Ramaladni's Magnum Opus takes all your Maximum Resources (Fury) and converts it into a big multiplier of damage. The more you have the more damage you do. Note: This item has changed in Season 10 to effect all abilities now. The "Skills using this weapon" has been removed.

Mythic Uniques

• Shroud of False Death is probably one of the strongest Mythic Uniques in the game as it adds +1 to every single Passive node in your Skill Tree. That means every offensive, defensive and utility node you now gain.
• The Grandfather has a Unique Aspect that doubles your Critical Strike Damage bonus. More importantly for this build it gives very high Maximum Resources. It's a great source of Max Life and the All Stats play a huge role in activating your Paragon Nodes.
