Also, the chest slot is meant to be a Shroud of False Death, but I&#8217;m currently both 1 rune and 1 Spark short.<\/p>\n<p>After that build was finalized I moved on toward making a new Barbarian in the mold of that Deathblow one, which turned out more fun to play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arsenal Barbarian<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abilities\n<ul>\n<li>Rank 1 Combat Frenzy, Strategic Rallying Cry, Fighter&#8217;s Rupture (2H Slash), Fighter&#8217;s Mighty Throw (2H Blunt)<\/li>\n<li>Rank 5 Violent Double Swing, Power War Cry, Supreme Wrath of the Berserker<\/li>\n<li>Rank 1 Pressure Point, Raid Leader, Thick Skin, Concussion, &#038; Unbridled Rage<\/li>\n<li>Rank 3 Warpath, Imposing Presence, Martial Vigor, Guttural Yell, Aggressive Resistance, Pit Fighter, Slaying Strike, Defensive Stance, Counteroffensive, Wallop, Invigorating Fury<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Paragon\n<ul>\n<li>Dominate, Decimator\/Ambidextrous, Blood Rage\/Ire, Bone Breaker\/Crusher, Carnage\/Seething<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Expertise: 2H Axe<\/li>\n<li>Mercenaries: Raheir (Slow, Iron Wolf&#8217;s Call) &#038; Varyana (Whirlwind)<\/li>\n<li>Seasonal Powers: A Beast Cornered, Accelerating Chaos, Deafening Chorus, Marred Guard<\/li>\n<li>Equipment\n<ul>\n<li>Harlequin Crest Head (Ruby), Chaos Battle Trance Chest (Ruby), Twin Strikes Gloves, Undying Pants (Ruby), Yen&#8217;s Blessing Boots, Limitless Rage 2H Blunt (IgniWat), Vehement Brawler&#8217;s 1H Mace &#038; Sabre of Tsasgal (Sapphire), Fields of Crimson 2H Slash (TamVex), Edgemaster&#8217;s Amulet (Diamond), Starlight &#038; Vocalized Empowerment Rings (Diamond)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<p>Now, you may notice this build does not actually use Walking Arsenal. It meant too, but Unbridled Rage just ended up flat-out better with the benefits of A Beast Cornered. Gameplay is simple yet engaging; Wrath -> Mighty Throw -> Rupture -> spam Double Swing. It slices things up nicely and doesn&#8217;t have any notable survivability problems thanks to the barrier and life gain.<\/p>\n<p>Post-season changes would be to swap in a Deflecting Barrier chestpiece and swap out Unbridled Rage for Walking Arsenal, then switch Rupture to Fighter&#8217;s and reduce Frenzy to Enhanced while getting rid of Raid Leader to put two points in Booming Voice. Might also have to swap out the +Skill runeword for a +Resources one since the Shouts won&#8217;t have constant uptime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ended up trying both Necromancer minion variations and the Bone one came out on top.
