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
