Hi everyone. I’m currently running the bash barb build and I gotta say,it’s a lot of fun but I have a few questions
What glyphs should I focus if I’m going to use two handed bludgeoning as main weapon to use bash and what stats do I look out for on weapons and armors?
I’m currently using a dual wield set up with ramladni with war cry,challenging shout,kick and wotb,bash and left click and steel grasp on right click to proc paingorgers
The main temper affix you want is Bash Cleave Damage. Put that on all 4 items and you’ll start to some to big numbers. You can also add Damage to Close for the other Temper. You’ll also want Topaz gems to boost your basic damage in your weapons.
Yup already did those thing
my question is I’m switching from dual wielding to using a two handed bludgeoning weapon. I have no clue what glyphs I should be leveling if I switch to two handing
ahh i use Aspect of the Moonrise. Increases attack speed by 4% up to 5 stacks, then you enter a bloodrage and gain 40-80% basic skill damage and 15% movement speed.
‘Might’ glyph for two handers. Doesn’t matter which one, just as long as it’s a 2hander. Ambidextrous for dual wield.
Dw is a trap.
Bash temper is multiplicative,so much better than ramas ( 100% @ 250 fury vs bash temper 110% baseline)

Fast AF made a 4k+ STR DW build that hits hard. No Ramaladni’s, though.
Yeah, youre right. Even if DW, ramas is a trap i stead of bash cleave.
Yeah, the Cleave temper is too good. Rare for any build to give up any weapon tempers.
Weapon Tempers have so much power to them, Grandfather is pretty much the only thing worth it which kind of sucks because Overkill, Hellhammer, Fields of Crimson, and Ancient’s Oath could be used in some fun builds.
Grandpa only worth it if you’re going 4k+ crit Gushing Wounds.
I find it funny the Best “Bleed Build” doesn’t really use “Bleeds” and certainly not Rend or Flay.
There’s a Flay/Rupture build that rips, bro.
What build is that? The only modifier I see for Flay specifically is Flay Duration. Does the duration increase damage by the duration increase such that Ruptures capture that Bleed? Paingorgers does not work for Flay though right, just the initial hit (not the Bleed application). Flay does not Cleave so Paingorgers would really be needed to apply the damage in AoE.
I know you can do +Ranks of Flay, +Basic Skills, +Basic Damage, Moonrise, Adaptability, Bleed modifiers. Assuming you would pair this with a heavy Stun build for Skullbreaker on a 2H.
Paired with Grandfather, Gushing Wounds, and mad crit. There’s a video on someone doing a 123 or something with it.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing the other day. Blizzard failed on this one. 
So really any Skill with Grandfather, Rupture, Crit Damage, and GW. Rupture always OPs and Rupture is converting Bleed to DD.
I am assuming Ravenous Rend, Charge Build with 2H Sword, Berserk Ripping would work best. Double Stacking Rend with huge DD converted to Bleed with a beefy Rupture.
WW would actually synergize very well going WW Bleed stacking CHD and Crit which GW wants. It cannot eat OPs so you can use it with Skullbreaker, Berserk Ripping, Anemia, Concussion, 2x 1H Mace, with Ravenous Ancients Charge followed by a Rupture.
Try em out, man. You’ll be better off stacking one skill/damage source (bleed) than you would be trying to stack multiple (bleed/rend and charge).
I notice you always veer toward builds with mad synergy, hoping to find correlation that works. I’d suggest to focus more on your main source of damage to find a banger.
Rend and Charge with Ravenous should work well, though.
Thanks guys for the tips. Now my problem is which Paragon and glyphs I should be using for bash barb. I want to fully enjoy this build before the big nerf next season
Rob2628 has a youtube video on how to build for max HP.
I have been using the paragon board from the build he links in the video.
It’s been pretty awesome so far.
Still leveling but at lvl 86 I have 60k HP unbuffed and currently farming pit 51 to masterwork my gear.
