This is a build guide for what is currently performing as one of the top builds on the PTR for patch 2.6.1. This build was taken from The top barbarian's on the ladder and is so much fun to play. Very easy game play and not a lot of active skill monitoring required.


For patch 2.6.1 we get a few item buffs which make this build so strong


Band of Might

  • After casting Furious Charge, Ground Stomp, or Leap, take 60-80% reduced damage for 8 seconds

Bracers of the First Men

  • Hammer of the Ancients attacks 50% faster and deals 400-500% increased damage

Gavel of Judgement

  • No longer rolls Legendary-strength bonus to Hammer of the Ancients damage as an inherent affix. Can still roll 10-15% as a random affix.
  • The damage of Hammer of the Ancients is increased by 600-800% and it returns 25 Fury if it hits 3 or fewer enemies

Build Guide

Updated 10/25

Hello all my thinkers..... how are you all doing today? I wanted to create a video / guide for all my followers on what is the hot barbarian build for patch 2.6.1. This hammer of the ancients barbarian is performing top on the ladder with having cleared over a GR110.


Play style is fairly simple:


1. Keep BattleRage up as much as possible. Need it for damage

2. Use Furious Charge whenever you can as it gives you the damage reduction with band of might

3. Keep your ancients up from Call of the ancients

4. Use ground stomp to gather enemies

5. Spam Hammer of the ancients on all enemies you collect and DESTROY!

6. Keep Wrath of the Berserker up at all times


Other than that guys its a very fun build to play so give it a try.
