You may be looking for the Diablo Immortal Barbarian best builds. This aggressive melee class has several builds you can go for to make the best Barbarian in the game. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make the best Diablo Immortal Barbarian build in the game.

Best Diablo Immortal Barbarian Build (Explained)

The Diablo Immortal Barbarian best build revolves on emphasizing the class’ ability to deal a large amount of multi-target damage while moving around. The Barbarian class is an unapologetic damage dealer and prioritizing offensive attributes really make this class excel.

For the Barbarian’s place in the Diablo Immortal class tier list, read our Diablo Immortal Tier List – Classes Ranked article.

Here are the best build choices for the Diablo Immortal Barbarian class:

Best Diablo Immortal Barbarian Build Skills

Best Diablo Immortal Barbarian Build Skills

  • Lacerate: Deals a number of damage each hit, every third hit heals you for 15% of the damage done.
  • Hammer of the Ancients: Calls forth a massive hammer to pound enemies in front of you.
  • Sprint: Inflict damage as you move.
  • Whirlwind: Launch a spinning attack, continually striking all nearby enemies while moving.
  • Wrath of Berserker: Increases your movement and attack speed while active.

When it comes to Primary Attacks, we recommend choosing Lacerate. What really makes this Primary Attack shine is its ability to heal 15% of the damage you deal every third strike. Considering that you’ll constantly be doing Primary Attack damage as your other skills have a long cooldown, this is a very attractive pick.

The rest of the skills such as Whirlwind, Sprint, and Hammer of the Ancients are designed to deal damage as you move. Whirlwind in particular is probably the best melee AoE in Diablo Immortal.

Wrath of the Berserker gives a big boost to your movement and attack speed while it’s active. However this skill is earned pretty late into the game. We recommend running with other skills, like Cleave or Chained Spear, until then.

Best Diablo Immortal Barbarian Build Attributes

Best Diablo Immortal Barbarian Build Attributes

  • Weapons: Fortitude, Damage, Strength
  • Armor: Fortitude, Strength
  • Gems: Damage, Armor Penetration, Life

You need to look for equipment that boosts specific attributes. The Barbarian class only uses a few so it’s a waste to equip an item with certain attributes that don’t give the Barbarian anything.

For Weapons and Armor, you want to look for high Damage, Fortitude, & Strength. The Barbarian is an AoE melee-focused class so it shouldn’t be surprising that these attributes will be prioritized for the Diablo Immortal Barbarian best build.

For Gems, you’ll want Damage and Armor Penetration. You can sprinkle them in with Life attributes for survivability. You’re looking for Sapphire, Ruby, and Tourmaline colored gems.

Best Diablo Immortal Barbarian Build Legendary Gems

Best Diablo Immortal Barbarian Build Legendary Gems

  • Everlasting Torment: Critical hits will cause damage over time to targets which occurs once very 20 seconds.
  • Lightning Core: Will charge up by doing Primary Attacks and Movement, when full it will release a Chain Lightning effect that deals damage to the area.

Legendary Gems can take some work to get a hold of, but they do provide additional bonuses that you will want. It will take some time to acquire these Legendary Gems for your Diablo Immortal Barbarian Best Build, but they’ll be well worth it.

Everlasting Torment is a One-star Legendary Gem that you can craft from the Apprentice Jeweler. Any critical hits you do to a target also inflict damage over time, but this can only occur once in every 20 seconds. Lightning Core is a Two-star gem that can also be crafted from the same NPC. Moving around and dealing damage with your Primary Attacks will charge your character and deal Chain Lightning effect that deals damage to the area.

Best Diablo Immortal Barbarian Build Equipment

  • The Remembered: Modified Hammer of Ancients to stun enemies and summon a battle companion.

Aside from looking for equipment with the attributes we listed above, we recommend getting your hands on the The Remembered, an off-hand Barbarian class exclusive that modifies the Hammer of the Ancients skill to stun targets and even summon a battle companion.

Unfortunately, this can only be acquired by purchasing the Diablo Immortal Battle Pass. So you can’t acquire it unless you’re willing to spend money. You’re still able to make the Diablo Immortal Barbarian best build so don’t worry about it too much.

Best Diablo Immortal Barbarian Paragon Traits

  • Vanquisher: Bonuses to damage and penetration.

For Paragon traits, we recommend focusing on the Vanquisher skill tree. This skill tree offers boosts to damage and armor penetration.

You’ll want to focus on Zeal underneath the Vanquisher skill tree. Every monster you defeat gives you an additional bonus to attack speed for 6 seconds that can stack up to 10 times.
