Technique

When choosing your Barbarian Weapon Expertise Technique, you do not have to be using the weapon of the Weapon Expertise Technique you chose.

Example:

  • 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.

How it Plays

Whirlwind Earthquake Rotation

  • Start with Rallying Cry to generate Fury and summon Madawc
  • Use Whirlwind and hold down the key-bind for it.
  • Use Shouts should not be used all at once. Guttural Yell in your Skill Tree reduces damage that
    enemies do when they are effected by Shouts.
  • Use Iron Skin when you take heavy damage.

How it Works

Build Overview

Arsenal Selection

This build will be running on a Dual wield set up. You will need one One-handed Axe and one One-handed Sword. This will be selected for Whirlwind . This will allow you to take advantage and the Two-handed Polearm.

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

Found a Mythic and want to know if it's useable? Is this Mythic usable with my build video?
