Core:

You want to have a much Fury as possible because each point of Fury will increase the Damage of your Boulder Toss significantly.

Cause you want to run and dash around very fast you need movement speed, put the rest into Strength (main stat) cause it will be boosted by your passive Berserker Rage and increases your dmg.


Offense:

To deal more dmg you simply need the crititcal stuff. To make Charge be ready a little bit faster again, you can go for Cooldown Reduction before.


Defense:

Resist all is the biggest survivability so lvl it first, then go for life and armor. Life regeneration is not very important.


Utility:

You want to deal a hell lot of area Damage, thats why its most important. The rest is not very interesting for this build.

Build Guide

Important: 6 piece Raekor, 4 Piece Immo King (with ring of the royal grandeur)


When you want to be a little bit more defensive you cant optimize your weapon to get Life per Fury Spent. Then you will be at full health after you have thrown your boulder toss, which will be most of the time. But you wont be able to clear the higher rifts cause you will lack damage.


Things that are important:

Dont ever charge into groups that are more than 1 and less than 5. The reason is that you will run out of Stacks from Charge. (When its only 1 the Set Bonus will refund you the charge and when its more than 5 you will have reset it cause of the Merciless Assault rune from Furious Charge[Which is given to you by the 4Piece Bonus of Raekor) Cause of that its sometimes better to skip solo elites or charge into a group of trashmobs (more than 5) and throw ancient spears at the elites outside of the group.


You have to be moving constantly and always watch on the 4 (or 5) big damage boosting things which are:

      • Raekor Stacks: Since you will be always dumping 5 Raekor Stacks that boosts your Damage and is the core of this build
      • Fury:

        • You only want to throw an Ancient Spear if you have FULL Fury (and 5Raekor stacks)


        • In Dangerous Situations where you might be extremely low on Hp and try the ancient spear could make you survive use it. ofc ;D

    • Focus and Restraint (You wanna deal 100% more Damage so you have to have charged in the last seconds and you have to have done an boulder toss
    • Berserker Rage: Always keep up 25 Charges. So you have to sometimes kill stuff in between some bigger stacks to keep it running.
    • Have Wrath of the Berserker, Bloodshed, War Cry and Call of The Ancients running all of the time. Its easy cause they last very long and Wrath of the Berserker is nearly always ready to cast cause of the Fury you dump away with Ancient Spear.
      • Thats the Reason why you want to have the 4PIECE Immortal King Bonus mostly. And because you will have significant more survivability cause Call of the Ancient will never stop.

Furthermore its important that you should have a force move skill somewhere where you can press it really fast(like on the mouse on sidekeys) to charge somewhere where nobody is. That allows you to charge out of mobs throw your Spear and then charge back in.


Ancient Parthan defenders cause of the cold rush rune gives you more survivabillity.


Two videos can be taken as a reference from my point of view. In both is only the gameplay. (i am not part of the creation of the video. Full credit to the author on youtube there):

This Build can be easily transformed(only slight changes in headpiece and armor + change to Furious Charge skill) into 6Piece Immortal King 4Piece Raekor Furious Charge Barbarian. If you like Charge as main source of Damage.
