What build to play now?

Barbarian

Any good builds now after nerf? For leveling.

  • Bash (or Frenzy)
  • Hammer of The Ancients
  • Ground Stomp
  • Iron Skin
  • Leap
  • Steel Grasp

It is pretty easy to build and straight forward. End game you stack Overpower and Vulnerable Damage. As you level, you can focus on Vulnerable Damage/Core Damage. There are only 3 Aspects you really need and a bunch you can play with.

Is there a link to this build?

I happened to get some drops that benefit bleed, so I’m running Rend now. HotA before that. Feels very similar but a slash instead of a smash now, and slow damage vs immediate death.

Overall though it wouldn’t be my first choice for any reason. If I could viably make a frenzy based build I’d do that, or if I could get double swing to match my bleed build in terms of damage right now.

I actually don’t like spin to win much except for speed farming later… I find it very boring. So I’d love to think I could have an effective build with something else… but right now that all looks bleak.

You can experiment but I don’t think the synergy is really there. At least not to the point where you would take it over Rend. HotA is still kind of enjoyable, as much as this class can be enjoyable for leveling, but the fury generation issue is real.

Leap, Ground Stomp, Lunging and Upheaval with two shouts.

Got a high proc of + Basic skill speed aspect on 2h and some fury on Core hit etc. pretty ok with Leap reset aspect

Im using Hota with the aspect that increases its AoE.

Have passives that give me fury when i swap weps. Feels amazing to play at lvl 56 in wt3. Loving it. Can change ulti and key passive on the fly. Either CoTA or Iron Maelstrom with Arsenal key passive.

Pretty close to what I’ve been running since launch. Frenzy/Upheaval, Leap, 2 shouts, and CoTA. Basic Atk Spd increase, Core Atk Spd buff, stun, and some utility affixes, etc.

Frenzy keeps my fury bar full and Upheaval passive at 10 stacks/30% damage in ~1.5s. Plus, I stack lots of Basic damage, CC dmg, Phys. Dmg, Close dmg, and +dmg to targets with Bleed and just use the Bleed WT. I tear through content at T3 with both my Basic and Core abilities, which I think is key to succeeding with Barb.

Never have and never will play WW, just not what I like at all.
Frenzy, HoTA, Leap, Death Blow, Iron Skin, Iron Maelstrom. Running Walking Arsenal. It’s been working out for me so far at 58 fairly well.

Would try Rend build if they ever fixed Rupture, skill seems buggy as heck.
