This is your ultimate guide to creating a Barbarian build that can deal over 300 million damage in just one blow in Season 3 of Diablo 4. Despite its sheer power, this setup won't need items like the Grandfather Sword or the Sho and you don't need your pet for it either. We're going to be talking about the OP Life Swap Tech today which synergizes with Earth Striker's legendary ability and Red Fury's unique ring. So grab your weapons and get ready to leave nothing but devastation in your wake!

↖ Set up Your Skills

But before we start wreaking havoc, let's set up our skill bar:

1. Lunging Strike (Basic Skill): Grab any weapon with slash attacks.

2. Frenzy (Basic Skill): Get dual-wielded weapons so you can automatically select one.

3. Hammer of the Ancients (Core Skill): You already know what this does, right? Just link it to a bludgeoning weapon.

4. Rallying Cry (Defensive Skill): Gain Unstoppable status and fury when you use this skill.

5. War Cry (Brawling Skill): Boosts damage significantly and gives you berserking so make sure to include it!

6. Wrath of the Berserker (Ultimate Skill): Boosts damage tremendously and also grants Unstoppable and berserking.

 

↖ Performing OP Life Swap Tech

To deliver our devastating blow, we have to activate Earth Striker by swapping weapons eight times until you see its icon appear on screen then hit an enemy with Hammer of the Ancients twice within three seconds after using a core skill or basic attack for Red Fury's aspect to work on them.

 

Here's how both aspects come together:

1. Swap weapons six times.

2. Use Hammer of the Ancients twice.

3. Use all shouts: Rallying Cry, War Cry, and Wrath of the Berserker.

4. Hit the boss with Lunging Strike to apply vulnerable (thanks to the Exploit glyph) and activate the Godslayer Crown's aspect.

5. Deliver your Hammer of the Ancients blow within 3 seconds.

 

↖ Skills you should focus on

This build doesn't require much defense due to its one-hit strategy, so we'll be putting points in skills that boost our offense:

- Basic skills: Grab Lunging Strike and Frenzy for weapon swapping and Fury generation. 

- Core Skills: Maximize Hammer of the Ancients and every skill that enhances it.

- Defensive Skills: Put some points into Rallying Cry for Fury and Unstoppable status.

- Brawling Skills: Invest your points into War Cry's enhancements for damage boosts.

- Weapon Mastery: Focus on Pit Fighter for close-range damage increases.

- Ultimate Skills: Boost anything related to Wrath of the Berserker as much as possible.

 

↖ Legendary Aspects and Gear

We're going to need a few key pieces of gear to make this build work:

- Helmet: Use Godslayer Crown for its elite-boss damage bonus.

- Gloves: Enhancements for Hammer of the Ancients are a must-have.

- Pants: Tibol Will will increase your damage while Unstoppable.

- Weapons: Prioritize strength, overpower damage, and berserking bonuses when choosing weapons.

- Amulet: Banish L's Talisman will give you critical overpower boosts.

- Rings: Make sure to have Red Fury; pair it with a legendary ring equipped with berserking bonuses.

 

 

↖ Paragon Board Pathing & Build Planner

You'll need to pick out certain nodes on each page that optimize our build:

1. Start off with Exploit Glyph which applies vulnerable status onto enemies.

2. Head towards Carnage which gives you increased berserking damage.

3. Select Blood Rage and Weapon Master legendary nodes for Fury benefits and swapping perks.

4. Finally, get Decimator and Warbringer glyphs to boost overpower damage and give you bonuses while using two-handed weapons.
