(LoD refers to the Legacy of Dreams Legendary Gem).
A fast hitting, tanky build that is capable of dealing large AoE damage. It does not rely on any sets, but rather a few legendaries to enhance your Skills.
Skills
This build mainly focuses around using Hammer of the Ancients to take out large groups of enemies. You also want to keep Call of the Ancients and Wrath of the Berserker up at the same time as much as possible, as this will allow you to take advantage of the boost from Remorseless.
Along with these Skills, the other core Skills are:
- Furious Charge – grants extra mobility.
- Battle Rage – gives an additional boost to damage.
- Ignore Pain – can be used for extra damage mitigation.
- Whirlwind – can be used for some extra damage.
Passives
- Ruthless – gives extra damage against enemies at low health.
- Berserker Rage – grants extra damage when Fury is high.
- Boon of Bul-Kathos – reduces the cooldown of both Call of the Ancients and Wrath of the Berserker.
- Rampage – can be used to boost the Barbarian’s Strength, giving you both an offensive and defensive increase.
- Weapon Master – can be used to give either more Fury generation or Critical Hit Chance.
Equipment
Remorseless, The Gavel of Judgment, Cindercoat, and Bracers of the First Men will all greatly enhance Hammer of the Ancients. Fury of the Ancients will increase Fury generation, while Mortick’s Brace grants Wrath of the Berserker gains every Rune. Echoing Fury, Squirt’s Necklace, Convention of Elements will increase your overall damage, while Stone Gauntlets and Band of Might help with damage mitigation. Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac will help keep your cooldowns low.
Legacy of Dreams is an essential Legendary Gem to this build, as it will massively increase your offense and defense for having only legendary gear equipped. Bane of the Trapped and Bane of the Stricken will generally be the other best choices for Legendary Gems, both of which will further increase your damage.
