Build Guide

***THIS BUILD IS THE BARBARIAN VERSION OF ASHEARA'S ARCSTONE (S16). PLEASE SEE MY OTHER BUILDS FOR THE OTHER CLASS VERSIONS.***

Links to other class builds:

Asheara's Arcstone (Demon Hunter S16)
Asheara's Arcstone (Monk S16)
Asheara's Arcstone (Wizard S16)
Asheara's Arcstone (Witch Doctor S16)

Concept
This build is focused primarily on maximizing the potential of Arcstone by utilizing a class set AND the Asheara's set. Since followers can't be customized on this page, below you will find the optimal design for followers.

This build is designed for an ENTIRE PARTY to equip (not recommended for Solo Play) and is NOT limited to just Barbarian. Monks can utilize Asheara's with Inna's, Wizard with Tal'Rasha's, Witch Doctor with Zunimassa's, and Demon Hunter with Natalya's. If all four players in a party are wearing their class set, Asheara's, Unity, and Arcstone, and all followers equipped with their "can't die" relic, Unity, and Arcstone, and all followers are summoned with Asheara's, players will benefit from 93.75% damage reduction and the screen will be littered with 240 Arcstone lightning pulses, occurring every 1 to 3 seconds (based on attack speed), ranging from 1000% to 1500% weapon damage with each pulse. Asheara's does have an internal cooldown, but with consistent combat, you can maintain a 100% uptime.

Please note that one player in the party should equip Gem of Efficacious Toxin. Others can equip different gems as needed.

Followers
Followers should be equipped as follows:

Templar
Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker - Strength, 10% Damage, Chance to Bleed, Socket (Flawless Royal Ruby)
Lidless Wall - 20% Lightning Damage, 10% CHC, Strength, Socket (Flawless Royal Ruby)
Overwhelming Desire - 20% Lightning Damage, Strength, 10% CHC, Socket (Flawless Royal Ruby)
Arcstone - 105-210 Damage, Strength, 6% CHC, Socket (Flawless Royal Ruby)
Unity - Strength, 6% CHC, 15% Elite Damage, Socket (Flawless Royal Ruby)
Enchanting Favor - 100% CHD, Strength

Scoundrel

Unity - Intelligence, 6% CHC, 15% Elite Damage, Socket (Flawless Royal Topaz)

Positioning
The key to the build is to get enemies to get hit by as many Arcstone Lightning Pulses as possible. Large AoE pulls require less attention to this detail but the protocol is still the same. Simply position yourself on the opposite side of the mobs from your followers and let Arcstone do the work.
