Build Overview
This build runs relies on
Rallying Cry to give us insane amounts of movement speed and Fury Generation. All the damage we use to increase
Whirlwind also increases
Tornado Whirlwind. We gain those damage increases from
Mighty Roar War Cry,
Damage Bonus Challenging Shout and
Berserking Wrath of the Berserker. All of this combines together for some massive damage!
Variant Breakdown:
- Legendary is your starter build as you transition outside of your leveling build.
- Unique is your mid-game transitioning to your late game build.
- Mythic will be your entry level end-game build. This variant is where you transition into
Melted Heart of Selig. This variant still runs Maximum Life. - Selig is your final goal. Running
Melted Heart of Selig eventually gives the most survivability and damage even though it runs zero Maximum Life. - If you find yourself dying with this variant because of
Iron Skin adding Maximum Life you can replace it with
Leap. You can take
Arsenal Bonus Leap and
Crusher for a little extra damage.
- Current Setup is what I am actually wearing in game as I work towards the Selig variant.
Expertise Breakdown
When choosing your Barbarian Weapon Expertise Technique, you do not have to be using the weapon of the Weapon Expertise Technique you chose.
This is only an example to help you understand how Expertise works. Refer to the Arsenal Selection for this builds set up:
- 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.
Sources of Maximum Fury
- Affixes on Helmets, Chest Piece and Amulet
- Charms
Warbringer and
Weapons Master Paragon Boards
Ramaladni's Magnum Opus
Melted Heart of Selig
New Uniques
Stone of Jordan requires us to stack Physical Resistances. You get this from Charms, Tempers and if needed Affixes.
Insight (Polearm) looks to be the best option over
The Grandfather. Most testing is being done for damage buckets but the utility this brings to the table is top notch.
Spirit (1h Sword) is going to be tested. It does give increased damage to
Ramaladni's Magnum Opus and ranks to
Whirlwind and
Wrath of the Berserker but these are already diluted buckets with how many ranks and how much fury we normally have so an aspect may be the most optimal here. Keep watch for the changelog
Enigma has great Damage Reduction, Movement Speed, a Teleport but does require some hefty Cooldown Reduction to make sure that
Wrath of the Berserker stays active all the time. This is a source of Fury Generation and Unstoppable, which are hard to live without especially playing with
Melted Heart of Selig. If you don't have 100% up time, use
Rage of Harrogath and Two-handed Sword Expertise until you can maintain.
Infinity (2h Mace) will be best in slot for the Barbarian's this season, but only if you upgrade it to a Mythic. This should be your crafted item. This is the biggest damage that is active all the time,
The Furnace is big damage against elites but slows down progression in the Pits because you gain zero damage to normal monsters and your progress bar doesn't move as quickly.
Set up #1 (Most Tanky):
Aspect of Heavenly Strength on Amulet
Rage of Harrogath on Chest
Aspect of Berserk Ripping on Ring
Full Throttle Wrath of the Berserker
Aspect of Coagulation on Pants
Set up #2 (Less Tanky More Damage)
Aspect of Heavenly Strength on Pants
Rage of Harrogath on Chest
Heavy Hitting Aspect on Amulet
Full Throttle Wrath of the Berserker
Aspect of Walloping on Ring (Pit Push)
Aspect of Berserk Ripping (Farming)
Cooldown Option
This will not be as tanky as the set up in the Equipment section of the planner:
Rage of Harrogath
Raging Challenging Shout
Full Throttle Wrath of the Berserker
Aspect of Berserk Ripping on your Ring
Arsenal Selection
Your Arsenal selection will be Two-handed Mace.

Aspect Interaction
Earthstriker's Aspect give you a damage bonus without swapping weapons. You just need to have the Overpower buff on to activate the second half of the aspect.
Weapon Master give you a damage bonus without swapping weapons.
Battle-Mad Aspect gives you damage bonus while you're Berserking you do not need to swap weapons.
Blood Rage gains damage as long as you have Berserking active. Applying damage over time is not needed to gain the extra damage bonus.
Fury Management
Affixes
- Resource Generation will help increase the amount of Fury you gain whenever you generate Fury from any source and pairs really well with
Rallying Cry. - Fury Regeneration needs to be added onto:
- Helmet
- Chest piece
- Pants
- Boots
- You can also use Tempers that add Lucky hit chance to restore primary resources. This can be placed on:
- Do not spam you main ability if you are not near monsters if you can't maintain Fury. Hitting monsters using
Wrath generates Fury. - If you do not have
Ring of Starless Skies you can always add in a couple of Resource Cost Reduction affixes onto your Two-handed Weapons to mimic that effect.
