2.4 Globe Barb

This build is designed to give group buffs and debuffs while spawning lots of health globes for some additional healing as well as adding a large damage buff for witch doctors along with other resource spending builds that utilize Reaper Wraps.

You will want to stack crit chance and cooldown on all pieces of gear as well as max fury on your belt and paragon points for extra crit chance on your HOTA. Tasker and theos are used to increase your fury gen from your pets which will allow you to use your hammer non stop to provide the group with health globes. Depending on your attack speed you may not need tasker or if you do not have a pair you can use alternatives such as St.Archews.

Hellfire: If you are using a hellfire amulet you will want your bonus passive to be Animosity, Tough as Nails or Nerves of Steel if you feel you need a second life.

Rings: The stolen ring in 2.4 is changed to "Band of Might" which gives you up to 60% damage reduction for 8s after using ground stomp.

2.4 passives: In 2.4 "Pound of Flesh" and "Sword and Board" are changed into much more useful passives. PoF gives you up to 5 stacks of life regen and movement speed from globes while SaB gives you 30% damage reduction and 20% reduced resource costs while using a shield.

Alternative: Another variation of this build swaps out ancient spear for warcry for addition group toughness along with chilaniks chain in the cube instead of nemesis if you prefer.
