Build Overview
If you would like a complete overview of how the Barbarian works use this video guide: Barbarian Deep Dive
This build relies on the power of Ancients you summon to do all the damage for you. You pair this with
Aspect of Apogeic Furor and it allows you to reset your cooldowns of all of your skills, and have constant uptime. Each skill also summons an Ancient, so the faster we cast our skills, the more Summons we have.
For the Push variant, we are relying on specific Cooldown breakpoints and
Mightiest Mighty Throw with
Empowered Call of the Ancients. This gives us more Summons which is more damage. It works because
Mightiest Mighty Throw now becomes an Ultimate skill, so it also activates
Aspect of Apogeic Furor. This has a very strict rotation which will require some practice.
Because most of these variants are not running
Melted Heart of Selig, they can be a bit squishy at times, however you can stand away from your enemies, cast your Ancients and still kill everything.
Arsenal Selection
This build will be running on a Two-handed Mace set up. Depending on the variant
Mighty Throw or
Leap will have your Two-handed Mace selected as your weapon assignment.
Overpower
Overpower has changed with the launch of the Lord of Hatred. By default every player can gain 4 stacks. There are ways of increasing that through aspects like
Tidal Aspect. It is no longer a multiplier, it acts as a buff to your damage. There are ways of taking that buff and turning it into multipliers with items like
Banished Lord's Talisman. The one thing that Overpower does is add a lot of additive damage. This is harder to come by, so it becomes a very valuable resource.
Depending on how you build your build, you will have several different ways of generating overpower. It will be important to maintain the buff. Your overpower buff will last for 4 seconds and then 1 stack will be removed. If you have something like
Blood Boiling Aspect and you pair it with
Dominate eventually will have stacks of overpower 100% of the time. This is just one example of how you can gain Overpower stacks.

How this build uses Overpower
This build will give you 4 stacks of Overpower. We are also gaining from
Blood Boiling Aspect which is our most important Aspect for this build. Because your stacks fall off one at a time every 4 seconds, every 6 seconds
Blood Boiling Aspect adds another rank of Overpower and you will never lose your stacks. If you are running a variant with the
Banished Lord's Talisman after you spend 275 Fury, you will also gain 4 stacks. This is the fastest way to build Overpower Stacks.
Fury Management
The only Fury spender in this build is
Rallying Cry. If you run out of Fury it's ok, it's not going to stop Summons from spawning. It means you just don't get the Ancient from
Rallying Cry. This will only be an issue in the Push variant because of
Crown of Lucion. To solve this issue.
- Chance to Restore Primary Resources as an affix will be activated by your Summons
- You will need it on both Dual-wield weapons and your Two-handed Slashing weapon.
- If this isn't enough, you can add Resource Generation onto your Amulet temper.
Defense (Non-Selig)
- Take all defense nodes inside the Paragon board first. All Maximum Life, Resistances, and Armor nodes.
- You can use glyphs like
Ire or
Territorial to help keep yourself alive. - Make sure all your gear has Maximum Life on it and you can then add Resistances, and Armor as needed.
- Life on Hit is a great option for you, but it will only heal you when you hit with
Leap
