This highly mobile and tanky Build will leave your enemies bleeding out on the floor as you quickly charge your way through dungeons.
Skills
This Build mainly revolves around the use of Rend and making enemies Bleed. You will also be using Rupture to cause enemies to take all of their Bleed damage at once. Charge is another essential Skill, giving you high mobility, and another way to spread Rend stacks quickly.
Additional Core Skills:
- Lunging Strike – can be used to reposition yourself.
- Rallying Cry – will give you a source of Fury regen, and reduce the Cooldown of your other Skills.
- Wrath of the Berserker – a powerful buff that enhances many aspects of your Barbarian.
Passives
The Key Passive for this Build is Unconstrained, as it will give you more damage, and allow your Berserking to last longer.
Additional Passives:
- Imposing Presence, Martial Vigor, Aggressive Resistance, and Thick Skin will increase your survivability.
- Pit Fighter, Cut to the Bone, Counteroffensive, and Wallop will boost your damage.
- Swiftness, Prolific Fury, Battle Fervor, and Hamstring will help your utility.
Weapon Technique
For this Build, you will want to have 2-Handed Axe Expertise equipped. This will synergize well with the Exploit Glyph, and Enhanced Rend. Set all of your offensive abilities to use your Dual Wield weapons, and make sure you have a Slashing weapon (Sword or Axe) equipped on one hand, and a Mace on the other.
