Diablo 4: High Damage Barbarian Build Guide

Welcome to our Diablo 4 Barbarian Rend Build. This build is focused primarily on high cleave and single target DPS.  We will guide you through all steps in the creation of the build, including how to spend your skill points if you want to gradually make the build as you level up. 

Skills

    Lunging Strike (Basic)
    Lunging Strike is a great basic skill for mobility, and it also generates Fury with each use, allowing you to sustain regular use of your other skills.

    Rend (Core)
    Rend makes the centerpiece of this build, allowing for high direct damage and bleed output. When fighting large groups of enemies, until they stack up in a group, then turn around and use Rend to dish out Cleave and bleed damage to the enemies.

    Death Blow (Weapon Mastery)
    While Rend on its own offers great potential for Cleave damage, the single target damage for Elites and Bosses isn’t amazing. This is where Death Blow comes in. A good way to use this skill against Elites is to first reduce their health with other skills like Rend, and then execute them with Death Blow.

    Rallying Cry (Defensive)
    This is another great skill for mobility, giving you lots of extra movement speed and also some Crowd Control immunity with the Enhanced upgrade. It also regenerates much needed Fury, which is important to keep our Rend spam going.

    War Cry (Brawling)
     This simply gives us an extra damage boost, which can make all of the difference in tougher combat situations. With the Power War Cry upgrade, the effect is even better when we’re fighting against large groups of enemies, and the damage buff will help you to quickly cleave through them with Rend.
 

    Call of the Ancients (Ultimate)
    Call of the Ancients is a very strong Ultimate, giving you lots of extra damage while it is active. The upgrades from Supreme Call of the Ancients can really mess with enemies while giving you respite and Fury regeneration too. If you’re in a really bad spot, you can kite enemies around and then use this on cooldown.

Paragon Board

    Starting Board
        Progress to the Glyph Socket, and choose Territorial.

Arsenal Mechanic

Your first Arsenal slot will unlock automatically when you reach level 5. If possible, aim to use a two-handed sword in this slot, as it will cause enemies to bleed for 20% of all Direct Damage you deal to them. This synergises nicely with the Hamstring passive, applying a 10% Slow to all enemies, also allowing you to make use of effects that give a damage boost against Slowed enemies.

The second slot can be unlocked at level 15, by completing the Priority Quest called Barbarian: Masters of Battle. This will be automatically added to your quest log when you reach the required level.  In the second slot, we ideally want the two-handed axe, which gives a 15% damage boost against Vulnerable enemies.
