Build Guide

The Build

There are two ways to play zDPS Barb--Pacman for Ratruns or Raekor for pushes. Which build you play depends on the kind of content you're tackling (speeds or pushes). Below, I'll cover the builds in some detail. But remember: ask your DPS is they have preferences and change your build accordingly.

As a general rule, the following are key rolls on both builds. Here they are in priority order:

- CDR on every available piece (55-65% required)
- Vit and Life % on every available piece(1-3 million Life and 25%+ Life)
- All Resist on every available piece
- Pickup radius on every available piece (10+ total yards)

Got it? Good. Let's get into the builds.

Pacman
Named for the build's primary responsibility (gobbling up health globes made by the zDPS Necro), a Pacman Barb is used for speed experience runs, also known as Ratruns--incredibly fast and efficient clears in the 90-105 range (depending on Paragon, group composition, and player experience and skill). The normal Ratrun composition contains 1 zDPS Necro to make globes, 2 DPS Rathma Necros to dish out serious damage, and 1 zDPS Barb to buff the group and collect globes.

This is far and away the easiest zDPS Barb build to play. Your job is simple. Keep IP on your DPS Necros. Buff them with Armor and Speed (War Cry and Sprint), and gobble all the globes. Seriously, you should never stop moving, never stop trying to gobble up globes.

Play this build in speed groups if you want to maximize your XP per hour. My groups typically run between 95 and 105 and net me 1.4+ trillion xp per hour.

You read that right.

1.4+ trillion xp per hour.

This also helps get your gems to 100 very fast. Special thanks to Archael for showing this particular brand of the build.

How To Play The Build
This is pretty simple. Soon as the rift starts, pop IP for your team. Then pop War Cry and Sprint. Now you're off to the races!

With this build, you'll stay behind the zDPS Necro (who will lead the party) and keep the two DPS Necros covered with IP and speed-boosted with War Cry and Sprint. Make sure they go fast! Make sure they have IP! Your zDPS Necro should only stop to fight elites (if your zDPS Necro is stopping to clear trash, get a new zDPS Necro). When that happens, keep the team covered with War Cry and IP, pop Call of the Ancients, and gobble up globes! Dont stop gobbling!

When the elite dies, it's your job to pick up the progress globes, re-apply IP, WC, and Sprint, and fall back in line with the DPS Necros. When played right, you should never stop moving--not even once--for the entire rift.
