Note: At higher levels, you may want to swap out the Ferocity rune on Battle Rage for Into the Fray, essentially turning Battle Rage into a "piggyback" to extend the duration of Wrath of the Berserker. Hammer of the Ancients with the Smash rune is a great Elite/Boss killer. Leap and Furious Charge keep you in the thick of things, where you need to be, while generating extra fury. Frenzy, with its quick blows, leads to more crits and is a natural primary skill. These were the most popular patch 1.04 Barbarian builds, from level 60 Diablo III Barbarians who were active in patch 1.0.4. If you are looking for some quick tips and tricks on learning the Barbarian, consider the advice on this page. Since crits extend the duration of your Battle Rage, dual-wield works best, with either a mace/axe (crit chance from Weapons Master ) or spear (attack speed from Weapons Master) in the main hand. To go in-depth with the possible playstyles of the Barbarian class, refer to our specific build guides (see links below). Wrath of the Berserker is your "hard enrage," which you'll have to use more sparingly. The first is your everyday use enrage which, with this build, should be active more or less at all times with only one trigger at the beginning of combat. Your key skills are Battle Rage and Wrath of the Berserker. RAAAAAGE! This build is all about maximizing your "enrage powers," making you a self-buffing death machine.
