Last Updated: 7/01/2015
Will be updating this Page for Patch 2.3
///
Patch 2.2 went live with the removal of Mortick's Brace.
This did affect the effectiveness of this build just as much as any other build that used the bracers. The build still functions, but how far it will clear needs to be re-tested in Season3.
This page will be updated if anything changes as I gear up my barb in Season3.
Things to Note
- Call of the Ancients Damage % on Shoulders/Chest
- Mortick's Brace for bracers
- Hellfire Amulet is best, Brawler is next best for damage but lots of 5th passives are useful.
- Use WeaponThrow (Throwing Hammer Rune) if you have a good Haunt of Vaxo, the pets do really good damage.
- Pauldrons of Skeleton King is BIS especially for GRifts but any shoulder with the proper rolls will work.
- Swap out War Cry /w Overpower (Killing Spree Rune) for group play if multiple barbs or if group has high crowd control.
- Purple gem in helm, this build requires no CDR.
- Bash/Punish is very preferred choice for group play with two support in group.
- Swap out Enforcer for Bane of Trapped in groups.

How about using a Vile ward for shoulders, and FC for generator/mobility?
You can do that, it's not as effective for very high Grift clears but it works fine intead of wep throw to put in charge.
Charge procs the focus as well.
That was the idea, FC instead of WT. But now they nerf hammered IK real hard. Still viable?
The fact that barbs were pushing grifts 10+ over all other classes is what made blizz nerf the IK set from 500% increased damage down to 100%. They arent going to be able to push anything insane anymore maybe 50s just like before. I was running the 3 piece wastes 5 piece IK(with RROG) and got a 61 in before the nerf. Never got around to trying SS IK. Looks like a great build though!
stilll viable, will update page when patch hits with some tweaks
PTR just ended....What is the way to go now for higher grifts?
Br,
Nocturnes
Why isn't Fury of the vanished peak used? instead of Tasker and theo?
So the Ancients are the main damage here?
