Offense
- Earthquakes will be your main source of damage with this build.
Aspect of Earthquakes will give you additional damage for your
Whirlwind when you stand inside of an Earthquake and for 4 seconds after you leave that Earthquake. With
Igni sometimes the Earthquake will not be underneath you, so you'll need to
Whirlwind over the Earthquake to gain your buff.
Aspect of Incendiary Fissures will convert your damage to Fire Damage and it will give it increased damage.
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.
Dust Devil's Aspect is used for the increased damage after enemies are hit with Dust Devils. We get Dust Devils from the
Force of Nature in the Paragon Board.

Gear Set-up
Uniques
Crown of Lucion is the strongest helmet in the game. With the changes made in Season 12, you will have to be able to solve the Fury Management issues as this will increase the cost of your skills by 210%.
Mantle of Mountain's Fury will be a great source of Armor and
Defensive Stance for Damage Reduction and a passive heal. This also is a huge source of damage and is used because it gives you a chance to have your Earthquakes deal double their base damage.
Tibault's Will will add extra damage when you become Unstoppable. You get this from
Enhanced Rallying Cry
Ramaladni's Magnum Opus is one of the biggest increases to your damage. It takes up to 50% of whatever your Maximum Fury is and converts it to a damage multiplier.
Ramaladni's Magnum Opus. Note: This item has changed in Season 10 to effect all abilities now. The "Skills using this weapon" has been removed.
Mythic Uniques
Ring of Starless Skies adds damage to all of your abilities after you spend primary resources.
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.- WARNING - This option is very difficult and almost impossible to run but
Melted Heart of Selig will add huge amounts of Maximum Resources to your build, which will add massive damage scaling with this set-up. - ALTERNATE -
Heir of Perdition will give you major increases to Critical Strike Chance, Movement Speed, and BIG Damage!

Fury Management
DO NOT SPAM
Whirlwind 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 Ancients 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.
Enhanced Hammer of the Ancients gives a massive buff to your Fury Generation so maintaining that buff is very important.
Resource Cost Reduction on Two-handed weapons as a Greater Affix can go up to 26.26% so looking for a weapon that has that affix can help solve a lot of your Resource problems. If you are running two Legendary weapons, this will be the equivalent of running the
Ring of Starless Skies

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.
