So tell me about end-game builds as far as gear goes.

So I am relatively new to the game and barb is the only class I made so far and I am enjoying it. My question is about uniques really. All of my gear has been imprinted with aspects and a few of them I can't imagine playing the character without them. So far I have found a unique ring and boots and they are both sitting in my stash. I lot of what I have read about endgame is based on a specific ring, hat or pants. Are these unique so powerful that aspects are no longer needed?

New to the game. Looking for fun build for leveling!

I play Diablo IV, my first Diablo ever about 5 months ago and leveled a Barbarian to about level 25. It was fun but I had no idea what I was doing. Life got busy and I had to quit. Well, I am back and want to start over, but I want more of a direction on how to build my character and which builds a lot of you consider fun for leveling. Not interested in end game builds until I get to that point. Any advice and or guides to check out?

Newbie needs help about damage and resource

So I wanted to try a barb after simping rogue for a while, got up to 50 doing the HOTA charge build but it just feels so hard to deal dmg and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, dungeons take me very long to clear and I also cant manage my resource it feels so slow to build up fury with basic attacks... Can you please help me improve? How am i supposed to build fury and deal massive damage?

Newbi barb help

Okay, sell it to me. What is/are the most fun or best leveling builds for barbarian? I have tried to level up a barbarian twice and I am clearly not getting it. I feel like I do no dmg or when I do dmg I also feel like I have no group clear, and have 0 resources the whole time. I've played Druid, Sorc, Necro, and rogue to 100 and have always found a fun enjoyable build for them... But Barb is frustrating to me because the leveling process feels hateful. Please help

Wooooow barbs are nasty

So I've been on this game for just about 1000 hours finally and I just started a seasonal barb I chose a leveling build with double swing and then decided to keep it for endgame.

I've never had so much fun just ripping through content before. Making a high speed slasher was far more fun than I could have imagined.

I had a whirlwind barb in season 1 but never got past level 40 something and I was so bored. So I made every other character a million times over and just finally saw a moment this past weekend to make a real first barb and I'm so happy I did.

Usually there is a few hiccups with the quad rolled defense pieces but not this time sucka! I've never had a real good rng run to have that brisk walk to 100 and NMD 100 until this character.

Normally it takes me a while to get a build strong enough to pretty much instantly kill duriel or uber Malphas but I always get there usually with way too much work cause RnG hates me. But not this time

Buuuuuut I digress. I just wanted to show my appreciation to the Barb nation. I'm happy to admit when I am wrong and this barb kicks ass!

I probably didn't need to write all this up. But I also needed to read something positive on the internet for once.

Is bleed Barb bad?

To preface, Immortal was my first real Diablo experience. I'm 1699 paragon f2p and it's been a blast playing Lacerate build. This game is completely different with the skills, so my first attempt at a frenzy buff build got me a lot of unnecessary deaths. I decided to respec and stared at the skills for a while trying to decide what is most feasible with the gear I have and had some longevity. I obviously chose Rend and Whirlwind and got all the bleed and frenzy buffs, even maxed out Hamstring. Next I plan to get Gushing Wounds and then I'll build into Rupture, after that it's a toss up on mobility or more buffs. The gear I have supporting the build I feel like is straight from RNGeesus himself. I have a leg helm with 27% chance to stun bleeding enemy, chest that stuns when 5 or more enemies are nearby, neck with 27% crit increase against injured, and 2h axe that grants up to 45% core skill dam increase while generating fury beyond max. I can just transfer a few of these up until I find something better, but does these seem like a solid direction? Any recommendations are welcome. I don't know anything about post-campaign content or what crazy gear/paragon lies ahead.

Wondering if this interaction works

Hey,

Wanted to ask if someone knows whether Aspect of Fierce winds works with the Battle Fervor passive? Does the damage from dust devils count as dealing damage with a Brawling skill?

Barb build with any/all uber uniques?

So I have this "friend" with all the uber uniques. Is there a build out there that dominates using some or all of these? Asking for a friend...

Not using Death Blow anymore. Need a new shout or skill to replace it with.

Hi, Have a HotA/Charge Hybrid. Skill bar is Rallying Cry, Wrath, Death Blow, Lunging Strike, and my 2 main skils. Right now HotA and Charge kill jist about everything. Even when I get swamped, I can just chug some potions and just use LS, Charge, and HotA and in like 3 seconds, everything is dead. Death Blow is just taking up a slot. So if someone can suggest a useful shout or another skill, it would be appreciated. If this helps, my passive is Walking Arsenal and mastery is 2 handed sword.

You guys have been really helpful the last few days. Is this a skill issue ?

Now I’ve gone from 70 to 115 million. My overpower didn’t hit with my buffs ?

Thanks guys. I’ve farmed the uniques. But I still can’t one shot duriel.

I can hit 70 million. How do I turn this into the 400 million required.

I have godslayer. Banished talesman. The pants. Everything needed I think.

Am I missing overpower %?

What’s “good” damage for a WW build?

I know ww is weaker than a lot of other builds but I’m committed to making it work as the nostalgia with ww is pinnacle for me. My ticks range for 400,000 to 1,200,000 depending on what’s active. I’m currently level 96 farming nmd 90s to try and optimize gear. I was wondering if anyone has endgame ww feedback. Trying to decide if I should fully optimize this setup or transition to another ww variant before grinding my final gears.

Newb Question

I’m totally new to Diablo I played at a friends house a couple years ago so I saw this pop on my computer and I jumped. After playing a few rounds I checked out the store and got a cool armor set it was like $20 and I can’t find it in my stuff? I’m on PC any help much appreciated. My only thought was maybe I had to get to a certain level to get something that cool?? Thanks

Are barbs broken?

In the PTR I built what appears to be the strongest highest spec barb ever. He died and could not quickly clear any higher level. 73k damage.

On the other hand I built a necro who had much lower damage and could clear everything and never died.

I find this very confusing.

2 handed Sword Expertise question

Does the bleed bonus go on top of damage dealt, or is it damage converted into bleed?.

Question about weapon types

Does it matter what item types we have in each slot?

I’m trying to follow HOTA build with charge aspect. Raxx in his guide has equipped 2h mace, axe and two 1h maces. Do I need them to make build work as intended? I’ve found two good 1h swords and I wonder do I still need to look for maces. Also how does mastery affect our equipped weapons? How do I decide which mastery to choose? Sorry for those newb questions 😅

Charge is the goofiest ability I've ever played with

What is this ability, I feel like I'm cheating.

I got both the aspects where the ancients help you and that the enemies explode and I'm just clearing rooms without even thinking. Running the entire room into the wall, they all explode killing each other, and I just get it back 3 seconds later to do it again. No fury cost either so the killing never ends.

Sooo much fun, I tried playing Druid and stopped within 15 minutes with how bored I got. No class has ever been as fun as this one is for me.

Axe vs. Sword for Charge Barbarian

This goes for both 1H and 2H slots. Basically +% to critical damage or +% damage to healthy. I can pretty easily run through T100 but I still want to be better. My critical strike change is at ~45%.

So what does the math say?

Upcoming Changes to HotA

With the S4 changes to barbarians, especially to HotA builds, is it feasible to change to a different spec or wait until the final patch notes are published before S4 begins?
