Build Overview

The Ancient Bro'Barian build relies on Summons to deal massive amounts of damage at once. We are using the new updated skill tree, paired with Arreat's Bearing and Berú of Bul-Kathos' Pride set to command an army! This is not a pet build, pets are for Druids, it's not a minion build, Minions are for Necromancers. This is the Barbarian Summoning build, summoning our Ancestors to fight along side us!

Technique

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Variant breakdown

  • Legendary is your starter. This will be fresh to 70, just putting gear together.
  • Leap will have options to add Mythics, is very fast and can kill bosses. Video Guide
  • Speed is mainly for Nightmare Dungeons, Helltides, The Undercity and Pit 115 and lower. Video Guide
  • Selig potentially the best variant for pushing but testing is needed once season is live.
  • Push can be used for any content, it isn't always the fastest but you can swap in Leap for content outside the Pits/Tower.

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.

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.

  • 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
