Double Swing Barbarian Build

This fast-paced Build focused on eliminating Stunned enemies can efficiently decimate both small groups and bosses.

Skills

This Build mainly revolves around the use of Double Swing. The Skill will be able to be spammed when enemies are Stunned, so you can quickly take out groups and single targets. Ground Stomp is another essential Skill, as it will let you easily stun groups of enemies.

Additional Core Skills:

  • Charge – will give mobility, and helps inflict Stun on enemies.
  • Rallying Cry – will give you a source of Fury regen, and another boost in mobility.
  • Challenging Shout – helps group enemies together for Double Swing, as well as provide damage reduction.
  • Wrath of the Berserker – a powerful buff that enhances many aspects of your Barbarian.

Passives

The Key Passive for this Build is Unbridled Rage, as it will greatly increase the damage of Double Swing.

Additional Passives:

  • Imposing Presence, Martial Vigor, Guttural Yell, Aggressive Resistance, Thick Skin, and Invigorating Fury will increase your survivability.
  • Pit Fighter, Counteroffensive, and Wallop will boost your damage.
  • Booming Voice, Swiftness, Prolific Fury, Battle Fervor, and Tempered Fury will help your utility.

Weapon Technique

For this Build, you will want to have 2-Handed Axe Expertise equipped. This will help boost your damage to Vulnerable enemies. You will want to set your Skills to use your Dual Wield weapons, while having a 1-Handed Sword and 1-Handed Mace equipped.
