Tips from Game8	This build focuses on a fast-moving burst damage playstyle using Cleave's high initial damage and Furious Charge's disruptive ability.

These are the six best Legendary Gems for the Barbarian due to their synergies with the class's most prominent builds and playstyles.

Trickshot Gem is core for all Whirlwind builds as it decreases energy consumption and reduces damage taken while using Channeled skills.

Blood-Soaked Jade, Fervent Fang, Chained Death, and Berserker's Eye all synergize with the Barbarian's fast-moving multi-hit playstyle, increasing the class's damage potential and clear times for each type of content in the game.

Blessing of the Worthy works well with the Barbarian due to the class's high Life total and melee playstyle. This Gem provides the class with a devastating AoE and significant damage reduction, which are both crucial to have as a Barbarian.

All Legendary Gems

Best Barbarian Build Skills

Lv	Skill Type	Effect
1	Cleave	Unleash a powerful attack that deals X damage to all enemies in front of you, and causes them to Bleed for Y damage over 3 sec. Maximum 3 charges.
1	Hammer of the Ancients	Call forth a massive hammer which smashes enemies in front of you for X damage and shakes the earth itself, dealing Y additional damage over 2 seconds.
8	Whirlwind	Become a whirlwind of steel, continually striking all nearby enemies for X damage while moving at 70% reduced speed. Using Whirlwind slowly consumes its energy, which recovers while Whirlwind is not in use.
15	Sprint	Increase your movement speed by 50% for 4.5 seconds. While active, you may move unhindered through enemies and you are immune to movement impairing effects.
20	Furious Charge	Charge forward, knocking away all enemies in your path and dealing X damage. Maximum 3 charges. Players may only be affected once every 3 seconds by this skill.

Whirlwind

Whirlwind is one of the Barbarian's signature skills. This ability is a mobile channeled AoE that efficiently wipes out mobs and also allows Barbarians to deal damage while moving. It can be further enhanced by Legendary items to improve its radius, damage, and utility.

Cleave

Cleave is the Barbarian's strongest single-target ability, sporting a high-damage initial hit and a potent 3-second bleed. Coupled with items like Virulent Fist, it can also become an effective AoE ability, rivaling Whirlwind in damage and efficiency.

Hammer of the Ancients

Hammer of the Ancients is a simple but effective AoE skill that works well alongside the Barbarian's other abilities. Once modified by The Remembered, it instead becomes a powerful Spirit that stuns on summon and provides incredible single-target damage.

Sprint

Sprint is the Barbarian's best movement ability, providing excellent mobility in PvE and PvP. Providing the ability to phase through foes and ignore movement-impairing effects makes it useful both inside and outside of combat.

Furious Charge

Furious Charge is another great movement skill in the Barbarian's kit. This ability allows you to charge unhindered through your foes, making it great for both initiating and retreating from combat. When paired with Screaming Fury, it becomes even more precise.

The Remembered	Off Hand	Legendary	Hammer of the Ancients: Hammer of the Ancients now summons a Spirit of the Ancients who stuns all nearby enemies and then fights beside you for you for a while.
Eager Maelstrom	Main Hand	Legendary	Whirlwind: Whirlwind radius increased, but Whirlwind movement speed decreased.
The Gathering	Chest	Legendary	Whirlwind: Whirlwind pulls in all enemies it damages.
Screaming Fury	Legs	Legendary	Furious Charge: Furious Charge now charges to a location, damaging all nearby enemies and knocking them into the air. Also increases maximum charges to 2.
Second Breath	Head	Legendary	Sprint: Sprint duration increased by 30%.
Davin's Legacy	Chest	Legendary	Hammer of the Ancients: Hammer of the Ancients maximum charges increased by 1.
Battlemaster's Helm	Head	Legendary	Demoralize: Demoralize is replaced with a war cry that increases all damage you and nearby allies inflict
Swiftwing	Legs	Legendary	Sprint: Sprint now also increases movement speed of nearby allies.
Ydama's Cyclone	Shoulder	Legendary	Whirlwind: Whirlwind damage increased by 10%.
Broken Grasp	Shoulder	Legendary	Sprint: Sprint also increases your dodge chance by 20%.

These are the absolute best weapons and armor for Barbarians in the current meta as they significantly improve each of the Barbarian's core skills and are crucial for their respective builds.

Eager Maelstrom, The Gathering, and Ydama's Cyclone are all core items for Whirlwind builds. These three items combined turn Whirlwind into a wide high-damage skill that pulls enemies in, providing Barbarians with amazing AoE and disruptive ability in both PvE and PvP.

The Remembered and Davin's Legacy both augment Hammer of the Ancients. These two items provide the basic AoE ability with more utility by providing a summoned Spirit that stuns and another charge.

Screaming Fury is the core piece for all Cleave and Furious Charge builds, providing it the loss-of-control and mobility necessary to make the two-ability combo work. It also provides great mobility in Raids and PvP, being great at both initiating combat and retreating from battles.

Second Breath and Broken Grasp both augment the Sprint skill. These two are core items for high speed and evasion in PvE and PvP, allowing you to speed through Rifts and Battlegrounds while efficiently dodging attacks.

Swiftwing and Battlemaster's Helm are the support duo for Barbarian, allowing the class to provide powerful damage and movement speed buffs to their allies in Dungeons and Rifts.

Best Barbarian Build Stats

Strength is the most important stat for a Barbarian as it directly affects the class's Damage and Combat Rating. Improving Strength is key to improving your clear speeds in PvE and increasing damage of your skills in PvP.

Vitality is the next crucial stat, contributing to both Life total and Combat Rating. With the Barbarian being in constant enemy range in both PvE and PvP, investing into Vitality is a must.

Critical Hit Change and Critical Hit Damage are the most important secondary attributes for Barbarians,as they synergize extremely well with both Cleave and Whirlwind builds, vastly improving their damage potential.

Attack Speed is another important stat for Barbarians, but not as crucial as the others. Investing into this stat enhances the Barbarian's primary attacks and hastens the hit frequency of Whirlwind.
