Bash Barbarian Endgame Build Guide for Diablo IV Season 12 - Slaughter

• Bash is our main damage dealer, which generates but also spends Fury when using Shard of Verathiel. It also creates guaranteed Overpowers tickets through Combat Bash.
• Hammer of the Ancients as a Fury pool and Fury generation steroid thanks to the Enhanced Hammer of the Ancients stacks. Violent Hammer of the Ancients also provides a massive damage boost when your cast Overpowers on top of applying the Paingorger's Gauntlets mark in a small area.
• Wrath of the Berserker acts as our steroid Ultimate, further increasing our damage, Berserking uptime, Movement Speed and making us Unstoppable while active. Thanks to multiple Cooldown Reduction effects, we are able to keep it up permanently. Once you reach rank 5, it also doubles as a monster packing tool and applies the Paingorger's Gauntlets mark in a large area.
• Ground Stomp as a quad-purpose support powerhouse.and applies the Paingorger's Gauntlets mark.
  • Spawns Earthquakes and activates their generic multipliers (Earthquakes)
  • Reduces the Cooldown of our Ultimate
  • Generates Fury and pulls enemies together
  • Applies the Paingorger's Gauntlets mark in a medium-sized area.
• War Cry as our offensive Shout, grants us Berserking and a hefty damage multiplier.
• Challenging Shout as our defensive Shout, grants us Damage Reduction when needed.

Buff Rotation - Whenever available

• Wrath of the Berserker, ideally reuse it just before it falls off to keep the stacked bonus from Supreme Wrath of the Berserker
• Ground Stomp to pull in monsters
• War Cry for its damage multiplier.
• Challenging Shout for the added defenses.

Buff Rotation - Every 4 to 5 sec

• Hammer of the Ancients to gain or refresh your Enhanced Hammer of the Ancients stacks (up to 10).
  • DISCLAIMER: For optimal damage output and Fury sustain, keeping your 10 stacks is very important.Overpowers.

Main Rotation

• Spam Bash in the general direction of your enemies

Tip: Ceh Rune, Ground Stomp, Wrath of the Berserker and Hammer of the Ancients help you apply your Paingorger's Gauntlets effect to monsters. Make sure to use them often for better uptime.

• Hooves of the Mountain God - makes our Basic Skill deal more damage and AoE. They might drain our Fury, but we generate enough to negate that downside.
• Shard of Verathiel - boosts our Basic Skill damage output and allows us to spend Fury while doing so.
• Paingorger's Gauntlets - more than doubles our damage output thanks to the "echo mark" effect.
• Crown of Lucion - Highest damage multiplier (x105% with the S12 changes) but increases the cost of our Skills, make sure to only wear it once you equip Ring of Starless Skies.
• Ramaladni's Magnum Opus - Unique effect with a massive Fury based damage multiplier that works as long as the weapon is equipped.
• Tibault's Will - Additional Resource, offensive affixes and a decent damage multiplier on top.
• Melted Heart of Selig - Massive stats increase, doubles your Fury and makes you immortal as long you remove all Health bonuses from your gear/paragon/consumables.
• Shroud of False Death - Multitude of small benefits that add up to a ~30-50% damage gain.
• Ring of Starless Skies is a no-brainer; it gives a bunch of Core Skill Ranks, Attack Speed, and a large damage multiplier that is very simple to keep active, on top of reducing our Fury costs by 50%
