​

Main Hand

Armory Clutch - Cleave now empowers primary attacks to increase attack range, damage, and gives life drain depending on how much life you have missing when Cleave is cast.​

Note: When using the Undying Rage skill with the Exulted Demise legs essence your life will be replaced with a shield which improves your attack range, damage, and life drain when using Cleave with the Armory Clutch main hand essence.

​

Off-Hand

Helmet Splitter - Wrath of the Berserker now increases your movement speed, reduces damage taken, and lowers the duration of loss of control effects on you.

​

Main Hand 2

Ardent Fervor - The attack speed of Lacerate is increased each time you take damage stacking up to three times.

​

Off-Hand 2

Mortal Resolve - Cleave now also has greatly increased damage based on how much life you're missing.

​

Helmet

Sullen Vow - Wrath of the Berserker now also greatly increases your primary attack speed.

​

Shoulders

Skull Motte - Cleave now also increases the damage enemies take stacking up to three times.

​​

Chest

Shackled Fate - Chain Spear now summons an ancient that repeatedly casts Chain Spear and draws in enemies.

​​

Legs

Exulted Demise - Undying Rage now gives an absorb shield in the place of a large portion of your life and refills your life based on the remaining shield, increases your damage, and gives a cheat death with 30% life drain.

Note: Undying Rage with this essence is important to lower your life which gives more Cleave damage with this build.

​

Recommended Sets

1. Vithu's Urges (4 Set) - This set increases your beneficial effects durations and increases your attack speed after buffs.

2. Untouchable Mountebank (2 Set) - Great for PvP for a chance to gain an absorb shield which improves your tanking.

3. Restitution in Blood (2 Set) - Greatly increases your damage for a short duration.

Note: Look for blue sockets on your rings and socket them with Aquamarines which give armor for PvP or Sapphires for more armor penetration. You should also look for increased beneficial effects duration on your waist and boots slots.

​

Recommended Attribute Priority (PvP)

1. Fortitude (Armor/Armor Penetration)

2. Vitality (Maximum Life)

3. Strength (Primary/Skill Damage)

4. Willpower (Potency/Resistances)

Note: Fortitude gives armor and armor penetration which can increase your damage and reduce your damage taken.

​

Recommended Skill Enchants

1. One Cleave skill enchant is important to lower the cooldown of Cleave because it aligns your Undying Rage and Cleave cooldowns so that you can use Undying Rage right before Cleave for increased damage from more missing life.

2. Wrath of the Berserker skill enchants deal damage around you every 0.5 seconds during Wrath of the Berserker.

8. Frozen Heart - Gives an absorb shield for PvP for a medium duration and chills opponents.

 

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Crimson Behelit - Strong legacy gem with increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.

2. Pain Clasp - Great two star gem that increases damage against enemies that have a continuous damage effect on them.

3. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and causes a damaging spike that makes the opponent bleed.

4. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

5. Mourneskull - This legacy gem can be used to increase your damage and deals its own damage but it's drop disabled.​

6. Viper's Bite - A nice gem for early on that deals damage over time which can kill opponents after they use a cheat death.

7. Battleguard - A solid defensive gem that reduces your damage taken against enemies within three yards.

8. Stubborn Oracle - Gives a chance to block enemies in front of you and reduces the duration of loss of control effects.

Note: Pain Clasp is the best PvM two star legendary gem and Crimson Behelit is the best PvP two star legendary gem.​

​

Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Ca'arsen's Invigoration - A strong one star gem for primary attack builds that increases your primary attack speed.

2. Everlasting Torment - Budget gem that deals damage over time on critical hits and increases your attack speed.

3. Respite Stone (PvP) - This PvP legendary gem reduces damage taken and increases block chance below 50% life.

4. Faltergrasp (PvP) - Disables opponents dash skills on critical hits and greatly reduces the opponents movement speed.​

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience Duskprowler with the Savior passive which gives a cheat death and temporary damage immunity. The 170+ Resilience on the familiar lowers the cooldown of Savior but only Duskprowlers and Ash Sweepers can have 170+ Resilience. The Tenacity passive is strong for lowering the cooldown of the Duskprowler shield, the Guardian passive is great for healing, and Steel Hide is great on tank builds for increased block chance.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Look for Savior which gives a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Ash Sweeper - Ash Sweepers are strong in PvP because they damage nearby enemies and mark an enemy reducing their damage by 20% for three seconds. They're also capable of having 170+ Resilience to reduce the cooldown of Savior.

4. Any Savior Familiar - You can use any familiar with Savior for a cheat death and great passive skills as an alternative.

5. Rare Duskprowler - Guardian is the next best familiar passive because it provides healing when you drop below 50% life. Steel Hide occasionally gives increased block chance, Phalanx increases your damage and defenses, Precision gives critical hit chance to the familiar, and Tenacity lowers the cooldown of the Duskprowler shield which are also all desirable.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

​

Normal Gems

You should prioritize Rubies for maximum life in PvP in red sockets and Topazes for resistances in yellow sockets. You can also combine all of your bound Tourmalines and Citrines and use them in your equipment if they give higher refinement for more attributes. You should also socket all of your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires in blue sockets which gives increased armor and armor penetration.

​

Gem Notes

The Haunt Coil five star gem is great on tank builds when you switch stances which gives an absorb shield, increased damage, and reduced damage taken. The new Enigma Latera five star gem is great for primary attack builds and its damage beats the Blood Floe five star gem. The Colossus Engine five star gem is an important five star gem that gives increased skill damage, increased area of effect, increased movement speed (from its size increase), and temporary knockback immunity. The Frozen Heart five star gem is also highly recommended for Barbarian builds in PvP to improve tanking because it gives an absorb shield and it chills opponents which lowers their attack speed and movement speed.​​
