Build Guide
Hello again Folks!I've been reading and trying builds posted on this page! But not on the PTR! Instead i tried some Builds on live Servers and thought to myself: The Build that works currently good must be amazing after Patch (especially Furious Charge and Ancients Buffs!). So this build worked very good for me till now.
[Because of the 2.1 Changes i made my Build a bit different than the original (but i post it further below as an alternative!).]
How it works:
Buff yourself with Battle Rage (i chose Marauders Rage because i think that the Ancients and the Charge will benefit mostly of it and since i use Frenzy i dont do any AreaDamage with it) and WarCry. Call your Ancients and fill up your Fury! Now charge into groups, pull them together in a bunch and hold your Frenzy Stacks up. So Frenzy is only used to keep the Buff up and if needed in Single Target Situations. The AttackSpeed Increase is needed because we use a slow 2H Weapon.
So why do i took the hybrid of IK and Raekors?
Both help me to be flexible in any situation. The ancients provide very good damage without controlling them and the charge is a great movement skill with whom i am able to escape from incoming damage, get yuickly into action, cause great damage and control and dominate any situation in the game. As well as punching enemies with a skill in their faces without using throws or attacks from the distance. It just feels like a Barbarian again. Note that both Sets and the Build will provide you great Toughness and thus u can stay alot longer in action (Really great for GreaterRifts and the Time Restriction)!
Gear/Sockets/Alternatives:
Chose your Items in the Slots Head/Torso/Hands/Feet depending on which Item provides better DpS and/or Toughness/Healing! Keep in mind that u need 4 Raekor and 3 IK pieces for the full Set Bonuses!
Try to get +% Call of the ancients or furious charge Dmg on shoulders and chest. Get a CDR socket in your Helmet. Furthermore try to get about 30-40% CDR overall so you can charge smoothly and fast with a minmum amount of 3 enemies! Socket Strength or Resistance if you feel squishy.
Amulet and Bracers are still the best option for this build even after the changes in 2.1! (only pets will trigger the procc!) Your Pets will do this for you! Maybe they wont do it as often as we could do it, but it sounds ok to me. Thus the Acients stun, knockup and so the shadows of the amulet do.
U can go for more Ancients or Charge Dmg. The easiest way is to change the +%Dmg on Shoulders and Chest. Further Advices:
For more Ancients Power take the Raekors Shoulders and equip instead Tasker & Theo and Maximus (also a pet with an insane fire chain!). Both will provide more Dmg for your ancients but keep the grear dmg and mobility of raekors! You can also change the Brawler Rune into Weapon Master! For more Raekors Dmg keep the Gear as posted and take the + Furious CHarge Dmg on your items (Shoulders+chest+2H Mighty Weapon!)
Ancient Parthan Defenders are also an alternative to reduce damage taken.
Paragon-Points:
I) Movement Speed > Strength > Vit (if needed for more Toughness)
II) CDR > Crit-Dmg > Crit-Chance > Attack Speed
III) Resistance > Armor > %Life > Life-Regeneration
IV) Life per Hit > AreaDmg > Gold > ResourceCostReduction (since we are a No Spender Build!)
