Lunging Strike

The Lunging Strike Barbarian Build Guide teaches you about Gear, Skills, Paragon, Playstyle & Seasonal Mechanics in Diablo 4. This build gains insane power from Ramaladni's Magnum Opus combined with Hooves of the Mountain God and Paingorger's Gauntlets for some really powerful damage.

Please read through the How it works section of the planner and if you have further questions you can join me live on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and X. If you have questions while I'm not live, join Discord. We have a team and community ready to answer all your questions! You can also check out Cliptis.com for a collection of all my How-To guides.

Build Overview

Arsenal Selection

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

Fury Management

Shard of Verathiel will cause Frenzy to cost Fury. That combined with Ramaladni's Magnum Opus can be a strain on your fury. Below is your steps to manage that.

Affixes

• Resource Generation will help increase the amount of Fury you gain and pairs really well with Rallying Cry. You can Temper this onto your Rings and Amulet.
• Fury Regeneration needs to be added onto the Helmet, Chest piece, Pants and Boots.
• Do not spam Lunging Strike if you are not near monsters if you can't maintain Fury.

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
