Bash

The Bash Barbarian Build Guide teaches you about Gear, Skills, Paragon, Playstyle & Seasonal Mechanics in Diablo 4.

Bash is your main ability and main source of damage. You rely on the new unique Hooves of the Mountain God this season.

Bash Rotation

• Cast Wrath of the Berserker to give you Fury Generation, increased damage and pull enemies to you.
• Cast Challenging Shout, Rallying Cry and War Cry to increase your defenses, Fury Generation and damage.
• Cast Bash and don't stop attacking.
• Use Ground Stomp to reset the cooldown of Wrath of the Berserker so you can maintain Unstoppable and Berserking, while continuing to pull enemies to you.
• Repeat

Build Overview

This build will be running on a Dual Wield set up in order to take advantage of Wallop and we are running Ramaladni's Magnum Opus

Arsenal Selection

This build will be running on a Two-handed Mace as your Arsenal selection

Mythic Variants will run Frenzy for Dual Wield, Mighty Throw for Slashing and Hammer of the Ancients for Bludgeoning.

Offense

• Aspect of the Moonrise will will increase your attack speed as you hit with a Basic Skill. After 5 attacks you've capped out your bonus. At 5 stacks you gain bonus damage and movement speed for 10 seconds.
• Aspect of Anger Management this is how you're going to maintain Berserk. While you are Berserk you deal 25(x) increased damage and gain 15% Movement Speed. When you have more than 50% of your Maximum Fury, you will always be Berserk, you'll lose 2 Fury per second, but Bash is a generator, so you don't have to worry about losing Fury since Bash will get you there.
• Hectic Aspect is a key part in making sure you have Wrath of the Berserkerr active 100% of the time. After 5 attacks with a Basic Skill, you reduce your cooldown timers.
• Rapid Aspect gives increased Attack Speed to Basic Skills which we need to attack very quickly with our Basic Skills to reset cooldowns and maintain Aspect of the Moonrise
• Vehement Brawler's Aspect gives you damage whenever you cast Wrath of the Berserker
• Call of the Ancients will be a great source of extra damage as well as increased Attack Speed if you choose this over Wrath of the Berserker
• Aspect of Adaptability when you cast a Basic Skill above 50% Maximum Fury you deal increased damage.

Uniques

Key Build Piece

• Ramaladni's Magnum Opus is an incredibly strong unique if build correctly. It increases your damage by up to .5% per point of Fury you have. The Unique Aspect is the most important part of this weapon, followed by the Maximum Resources. On build that get close to 400 Fury this weapon offers 200% increased damage.
• Ugly Bastard Helm takes any direct damage you do (no damage over time like Bleeds) and converts it to Fire Damage then it takes that Fire Damage and multiplies it by up to 100%. This is big big damage.
• Paingorger's Gauntlets activate when you damage an enemy with a Non-Basic skill. This can be achieved through Wrath of the Berserker. If you cooldown is too long for this to be effective, you can use the Cir + Ceh rune combination to constantly maintain uptime on your Paingorger's Gauntlets buff.

Mythic Uniques

• Shroud of False Death is probably one of the strongest Mythic Uniques in the game as it adds +1 to every single Passive node in your Skill Tree. That means every offensive, defensive and utility node you now gain.
• The Grandfather has a Unique Aspect that doubles your Critical Strike Damage bonus. More importantly for this build it gives very high Maximum Resources. That will help scale your damage from Ramaladni's Magnum Opus. It's a great source of Max Life and the All Stats play a huge role in activating your Paragon Nodes.
  Ring of Starless Skies adds damage to all of your abilities after you spend primary resources.
