Basic Attack Build (It Works)

Just wanted to share this build for Basic Attacks using Lunging Strike

This is the Build I am using (updated now)
maxroll.gg/d4/planner/hv1io09u

Goal I started with was any class being able to use the new aspects they recently added Vampiric Powers early this month, along with Paingorgers unique. I landed on barb for several reasons, but having that extra weapon slot really helps, along with defense skills.

Clears all content and with ease, NMD 100, Lillith, Butcher, Duriel and face tanks everything but Lilliths 1 shot mechanics. You do not one shot bosses, you might have to deal with one round of mechanics and its just hilarious to face tank the butcher when he shows up in NMD 100.

All of these skills and paragon board glyphs really work together very well and let you just smash through content.

Just thought I would share for any others looking for something other than HOTA or Meta builds.

You have plenty of room to customize this build as well, can swap certain stats if you like, use a different aspect on a few pieces of gear, gives you options tailor to your liking. I prefer the shouts still since the glyph I use reduces both charge and steel grasp by 4 seconds each time you use a shout.

Have fun destroying hell

I have a Frenzy build similar to this. Thorn can ‘Mark’ monsters. Great for those pesky range monsters that likes to run away. One point into Outburst passive is enough. Paingorger will only copy base damage. So whatever the tooltip damage is, ‘Marked’ monsters will take that damage. Damage while bererk, moonrise, topaz gems, all boost base damage. Very little different chooseing Walking Arsenal and Unconstrained. 20% attack speed isn’t much and 5 more seconds of Berserk isn’t needed.
I seriously don’t know why you’re using triple shout. Hectic aspect can get rid of cooldown faster.

For Marshal Glyph gives you 4 seconds off both Charge and the Steel Grasp, movement with charge and Marks enemies as well.

Yeah, like I’d said in my post, use Hectic aspect. You can shave off 4 seconds just by spamming Basic attack. Hectic aspect can go on boots or chest.

I have that as well, just helps in a quite a few spots for moving or last second to avoid an attack to have that.

That is also whats nice about this build lets you swap somethings for others not locked in on almost all choices.

Glyphs are about the only thing just not a lot of great options for in this setup. 5 I am using are about it maybe could swap 1 out for a different one.

I use this as my Basic Build:
d4builds.gg/builds/907ac1b7-632c-411c-93fc-1bdf77f5fcd4/?var=0

  • Everything is marked constantly giving your Paingorgers AoE
  • Double Swing still hits very hard
  • WoTB uptime very high at max damage
  • High survivability and mobility
  • Great at Bossing
  • Easy to Build
  • Fast Attacks feel good to use
  • Don’t have to use Shouts

This was good advice moved a point around helps keep monsters marked. This build is doing way better than I expected just did NMD lvl 77 at 85 so lvl 131 monters. Butcher was in there face tanked him dead. I much prefer this playstyle to HOTA smash or Upheveal.
