Diablo IV Guide: Diablo 4 Best Barbarian Builds For Server Slam

For barbarians we think Flay is still your best bet for using Vulnerable, another very popular option is Thrust, since Stab gives you a ton of mobility, so maybe you can use Stab to level up, and then You can use Flay Shawar while attacking. 


Due to the limitations of the Diablo 4 beta, the Barbarian class faced challenges compared to other classes. While building with a Waterspout or Hammer of the Ancients is doable, especially against hordes of enemies, things change when facing a powerful boss that can easily de feat You. Thus, the barbarian metabuild emphasizes a combination of bleeding, thorns, and damage reduction as a means of survival.

With this build, you should be able to frequently utilize the Rend skill without worrying excessively about Fury management, provided you possess the appropriate legendary items. It is essential to consistently employ Fury to maintain damage reduction. Simultaneously, utilize Iron Skin and Challenging Sh Out strategically, timing their usage to maximize their impact as you absorb incoming damage. Conserve healing potions judiciously to ensure your survival throughout the fight. The Call of the Ancients ability, particularly the Death Blow, is primarily intended to assist you during boss encounters,offering valuable support in those situations.
