One-Kick Barbarian Build. What do you guys think?

PC General Discussion

After playing the first week beta I noticed that people talk a lot about Upheval + Frenzy builds but how about this build which uses some less popular Barbarian abilities namely Bash and Kick.

I want to create a more detailed guide but I got to get up early. So here’s the abilities used and why.

Combat Bash - Mostly for Fortify Generation and more reliable overpowers on Death Blow. The stuns are also a plus especially if you can save them for a key target like an elite.
Violent Whirlwind - For AoE and with legendary effect that pulls in enemies, a useful tool for corralling foes for quick kills with Kick or Deathblow. Also in AoE heavy encounters may act as a Fury generator.
Tactical Rally Cry- Fury, mobility and more Fury for a very Fury hungry build. What more can I say.
Power Kick - A Fury dump for Wrath of the Berserker to boost damage while Berserking. It is also a pretty good boss and elite killer especially when combined with Death Blow.
Fighter’s Death Blow - A heavy hitting Fury generator that finishes off whatever survives Whirlwind or Kick. Also note I thought I was playing Hardcore so I have three points in Imposing Presence instead of 5/5 Death Blow so I’m not hitting quite as hard.
Wrath of the Berserker - Big damage cooldown. Most importantly the more fury you spend during the cooldown the bigger the damage bonus you get while Berserking. I can see a lot of potential for this feature when combined with Unbridaled Rage, increased attack speed and a inflated Fury Pool. Potentially can perhaps reach insane levels like 500-1000% increased damage while Berserking if you have the equipment and Paragon needed to spend and generate Fury fast enough.

I wanna do a kick build cuz I got a great sword that enhance kick and ground stump. It’ll be a jump combo that will take advantage of the x dmg/10 fury spent on kick. high mobiliy with stunt.

You enter with Leap; give 40 fury.
Followed by ground stump; stunt plus 25 fury
My basic will be Bash, will give me 10% Base Life Fortify, and a good chunk of fury, 10 base fury +4 cuz I’ll be damaging stunned enemies from ground stump.
Weapon mastery skill is Death Blow, another insta 20 fury here

We’re at 99 fury. I can take stuff like endless fury that’ll give me 5% more. We’re now at 104. We got 2 last room for spells, our ultimate is Wrath of the berserker. every 50 fury spent give 25% dmg, we’re nuking a solid 100 for 50% bonus dmg.

Then we drop our mighty kick; they should take a lot of damage cuz it’ll make them Vulnerable for an extra 20% dmg, they take base damage + (?) every 10 fury spent, everything trigger from there.

There is Aspect of Perpetual Stomping that will reset Leap cooldown after kick or ground stomp for a good escape.

Aspect Retribution, 20-40% dmg increase when damaging stunned enemies.
Edgemaster’s Aspect will do 10-20% more damage when you cast, maximum benifit while you have full fury

Wallop, extra 5% dmg to stunned. No mercy 3% crit chance vs stunned.

I don’t think this build is incredible but I think I’ll have a lot of fun. I’ll try it later today.
