DatDudeJay's Warcry Barbarian

THE WARCRY BARB
Get ready to play with muted sound

Disclaimer: This is not a starter build, There are many ways to level a barb and i will leave that up to you. I will show you multiple Gearing options and suggestions to push your character to the absolute maximum. If you have a certain playstyle you prefer by all means go for it, I am not suggesting that my way is the only way to make this character.

PROS
Tier S Farming build 7-8 player Fauntz.
Rifting Viable
1mil+ defense
Very Budget Friendly
Huge Magic find farming capabilities ( 700+MF)

CONS
This is not a boss killer!
Not a league starter.
Many Enchanted Shrines Needed.
Barb Warcrying is Loud AF

1.7 Changes

suchbalance wrote:War Cry is currently stronger, compared to last season, because the Mountain King scaling is 3% per Base Level (instead of 2.5% which would be equivalency). This is a build that in previous seasons has cleared T14/T15 Labyrinth and now got a small buff after the fix in 1.7.4.

I understand that it is confusing because your damage went down but there is no reason to panic. Think of the past week as a free "bonus" where you were doing more damage for free.

General playstyle and what to expect

Warcry barb is what you honestly expect it to be, solid aoe coverage,big defense and most importantly a very solid all around character. There are multiple different setups that can be used depending on your playstyle. Cheap budget variants will still land you doing all content in the game with ease and investing into this character will enable you to do some of the highest rifts and content in the game. Warcry makes solo farming a complete joke, i highly reccomend you join multiple player games for the huge increase in drops and xp!

Abbreviations:

FCR = Faster cast rate | FPA = Frames per Attack | FHR = Faster Hit recovery
IAS = Increased Attack speed | PMSD = Physical/Magic Spell damage | xp = Expierence
LAEK = Life After each kill | WC = Warcry| MF = Magic Find

Skills SMAX

SMAX - Wolf Companion | Mountain King | Blood Hatred

Warcry is unique in the fact that it can CRIT, You gain 2% base critical strike chance per base level in wolf companion,10% critical damage per base point in blood hatred and 5% warcry damage per mountain king base level. This is why we smax all three!

MUST READ - Warcry only spawns on Barbarian swords! ( Ida | Bronze Sword | Kriegsmesser ) is the base sword you want to use!Make sure the sword is itemlevel 99 by turning on the "Display Item's Level" in the interface options. Do not use spatha or Backsword because they only give us 3 sockets. It is also very important to note that Hitting warcry with a shrine is very rare. I would say it takes 10 shrines to see warcry once! If you hit warcry Keep it and find another sword base to keep crafting and trying to hit a better roll!

ASAP. These have all the flat energy and %max mana that you will need early on.

*Potential mistakes to avoid* I've gotten alot of messages regarding feeling squishy early on. The main reason you feel this way is because your total defense is a little low at the moment. Get used to keeping your innate barb skill titans' Fortitude up at all times. It was patched in 1.5 to be a buff rather than an attack. It Now adds bonus maximum life: 6% + 1% per 10 character levels and also adds bonus defense: 10% + 1% per character level. early on max out runemaster + bear stance, Dont worry about adding too many points into immortal early on. It's more important to get your defense high as it is our single biggest Defensive factors. You can also Mo your jewelery for flat defense which when you have as much % defense as we get, Getting flat even on jewelery is very meaningful! Check the mystic orb section above for the order of mos i recommend for jewelery.

You obviously need atleast one item with warcry to get started, Id prefer you get voice of the arreat helm that opens up options in your weapon slots to scale your damage until you get enough shrines to make warcry barbarian weapons. If you can get the

. It should be noted that +barbarian skill levels does not apply to warcry. Warcry is a O skill so only +ALL skills will apply to the warcry skill. Use any weapons you find with +All skills + spell dmg/PMSD. Early on you want to use just enough strength to wear your gear and dump the rest into energy. Conentrate on getting your defense up by getting solid defense rolls on your gear. since we are using bear stance we get alot of %defense. That means getting a high amount of flat will really scale our total defense early on, which is a very important factor for the build. If you are struggling to get defense i would recommend dropping one sword and using a shield. The best option is

Crafting Jewels:

Main stats - PMSD/Spell Focus/1% All Attrib/Energy/MF

Since we use gladiators dominance, we can get more dmg from each socket. Use Zod Rune recipe to craft your jewels ( Zod + AC + Oil of crafting + Jewel)

There are plently of jewel outcomes that will outclass a single hel rune in terms of damage, BIS jewel is probably 4% PMSD/15Focus/1%energy/MF, now craft 20x of these. Goodluck.

My Thoughts:

Let's Talk about gear choices on this variant, we are focusing on clear speed over raw MF numbers, at a certain point you hit very high diminishing returns on MF and clear speed just becomes king. This variant requires you have nice swords to boost your dps up so that you can still farm multiplayer games. The trade off to getting movement speed is you lose 70% of your total defense, that makes getting LAEK very valuable for sustaining. In my video i didnt use der nebel rings because i was soloing and dps rings are just better. For multi player games of 4+ i would use der nebel rings with this setup.

You may ask is it worth doing this setup over the full MF variant, Imo movement speed is massive the difference in clear times has been very noticeable, And buying a adrenaline rush as a stop gap just didn't feel as good as gladiators dominance. Of course you could use both gladiators dominance and

In Depth Crafting guide for Barbarian swords.

► Show Spoiler

Crafting Warcry barbarian swords can take alot of Shrines before you even see warcry. to start out i would use any shrine you have it does not matter just hit lvl 11+ warcry to get you rolling. The mods you want to look for is Lvl 11 warcry + / Life after each kill / Life stolen per hit/MF. Yes that is right we want life stolen per hit to spawn on the sword. The main reason is

. We will go more in depth on this later in the guide, but for now dont roll over a sword with +warcry and life stolen per hit this will be massive gains for us later down the line.

Barbarian swords can only roll poison spell dmg for whatever reason, so that means we have to use enchanted shrines to get phy/magic dmg on them. This means that shrine crafting the highest possible phy/magic roll is 20% from a perfect shrine blessed roll, Leaving us with only 3 additional sources of spell dmg left to get on the sword. you can use the 2% phy/magic mystic orb from the vendor and add another 10% for 20 required levels or you can add 15% life stolen per hit for 20 required lvls and then use

to convert the life stolen to 25% spell dmg.The last source is The oil of Conjuration, which is a crafting Regeant found in elite red portal zones. It has a 40% Chance to lucky your item and give you 10% spell damage.

Crafting the correct sword will take time! You will need 5-10 sacred rare swords and 100-200+ shrines. Craft for level 11 warcry +/LAEK/Life stolen per hit/MF. Stop on a sword that has 2/4 of the mods which you want the most. Keep in mind its very hard to hit 3/4 of the most ideal mods. so keeping two and crafting on a new base is the ideal situation imo. I will use a sword i made as an example.

In this case i hit perfect shrine crafted damage 10%, lvl 11 warcry AND 77 LAEK. A very solid starter sword, If i wanted to craft this for endgame. My next step would be to try and get lucky with the oil of Conjuration. If it hits the 40% chance to get 10% spell damage i would continue on crafting this sword. Once it hits the oil of conjuration, It would be 20% phy magic then you shrine bless the sword to add another 4-10% phy/magic damage, To shrine bless a crafted item simply cube the sword with the shrine AND two Full arcane crystals. If the oil of conjuration fails i would recommend putting it to the side and continue crafting on a new base. Keep in mind that there are very few ways to get phy/magic dmg on a sword so in my eyes getting the extra 10% dmg is very worth it and if im honest its fun to min max my characters in these small ways.

Crafting your Endgame swords - Now That you have crafted some swords and you are level 130+ , Here is how i would go about creating your endgame Best in slot. Hopefully at this point you have created a sword with lvl 11+ warcry/LAEK/Lifestolen per hit/MF. In my Endgame setup i use 6x Ghal Runes in each of my weapons. This will raise the base item required level to lvl 100 to weild it. Keep this in mind before you start mystic orbing your sword! At this point your sword should be shrine blessed and have the additional 10% spell damage from the Oil of Conjuration and still be level 100 required! If you were lucky to hit life stolen per hit on your sword whether its 5-15% make sure you have at minimum 15% life stolen per hit on the sword! if you do not have life stolen per hit simply add life stolen per hit mos to it until you hit 15%.

will then convert the pointless life stolen per hit into BIG spell damage. At the cost of now your weapon is unsocketable and it adds 10 required levels. so make sure whether you are magic finding with lum runes or doing a big dmg setup with ghal runes that you are happy with it being unsocketable! Here is how my weapon turned out.

The process behind creating my sword - My sword spawned with level 12 warcry and T1 LAEK with a perfect 10% phy/magic dmg roll. I hit the oil of conjuration for another 10% spell damage and shrine blessed the sword to 26% phy/magic. I did not hit any life stolen per hit so i had to bench 5x 3%life stolen per hit mo's. Which made the sword level required 120. At this point i added the

[1.7] In this patch everything has changed in terms of scaling our damage, Energy scaling seems to not be giving enough benefit to invest into it. so we will only put enough points into energy so we wont have mana problems. The rest goes into Vitality, from my testing you need around a 5k mana pool to sustain. I also recommend benching 25% mana regen to one ring If possible. Find a spot where you are comfortable with your mana cost and sustaining.

There is the potential to dump every single point into vitality, This will obviously cause some mana issues, If you want to go full vitality then you should try to use a wormhole with life% & %mana. Try to get high mana rolls on your belial charm and bremmtown charm. Every bit of flat mana possible will be important, Mana regen on rings or

Armor - Aim for +2 | 35-40%PMSD | 175%+ED. Other nice stats - Flat physical damage reduction | %Attributes | Flat Energy | FHR. I shall mention that ED on ancient armor is a very huge factor on hitting your defense goal and saving point investment in runemaster. Try to hit ED on your Armor it will help alot!
Helm - Bench the 10% PMSD with the Vendor MO's , For the last 20 requirement levels i suggest leaving it open incase you want to do Endgame rifting.
Boots - Spirit Walkers are expensive and hard to get at times, so once i acquired them i wanted to only put UMO's that would work well with other spell casting characters.

Adds a huge amount of stats for this build. %bonus energy factor is a multiplier on your base EF, which means that it will take less energy to cap your Energy Factor spell damage and thus allows you to put points into Vitality without losing any dmg from Energy Synergy. This is a massive boost to survivability in the endgame.
Belt - 10%PMSD - Leave the other 20 lvl requirements alone until you decide if you want to do rifts or not.
Gloves - 10%PMSD | Leave the other requirements levels alone until you decide if you want to do rifts or not.
Rings - Der nebels give us so much survivability and LAEK that i think its the BIS Ring, aim for getting a +1 der nebel and adding 10% PMSD. If you want pure damage aim for the rare ring with +1/25% PMSD OR the biggest dmg ring is a 40% PMSD The darkness set ring. If you do end up getting a huge rolled darkness Bench 10% PMSD for that juicy 50% PMSD ring.

Lets talk about the skills:

Around the time you start to have this amount of gear you should be level 140, Everyones Gear will be different based on the fact that we use 4 crafted slots for our Endgame setup. Your defense will vary based on your crafted rolls. Base your levels off of this, if you are not hitting your 825k defense goal then invest more base points into runemaster. If you are way overcapped on defense then drop some points in runemaster and add more to immortal.

D2stats and My Gear

READ* By now if you are going for pure damage you should be smacking all content inside the game before you enter rifts. I ended up not really trying to push the stats that crazy there is definitely alot of room to get even more dps than this. I never got a Very high rolled

Super EndGame WarCry Riftstone Setup

► Show Spoiler

*WarCry has been one of the best Tier 1 - Tier 10 Riftstone Farmers ive played so far, you literally teleport on mobs and destroy Rifts. Tier 11+ you will need to be strategic with your gameplay. I managed to get up to t14 with a sub optimal setup. So the potential is definitly there to get past level 140 easily.

READ* Make sure to max out mountain king asap to help with equipping gear and building your energy. Stat allocating will differ for everyone eventually once you get nice charms with high flat stats.

READ*The main reason to mo gear with 15% all resists is pretty simple, tier 14 maps pierce 100% elemental resists. That means that it takes 160 total resists to cap our resists at 90% Maximum resists normally but for t14 rifts we actually need to hit 260% total resists. The only way i could hit this much resists was from using 1x of each perfect gem in my gloves and mystic orbing several slots with 15% all resists. Keep in mind that in some situations you can be cursed with a lower resistance curse that brings your total resistance down by 30. Which then means you actually need to be at around 290% total resistance for t14+ rifts. Obviously if you plan on farming lower tier rifts you can mystic orb for damage (

Rift Bosses

Necromancer Exile/Boss - Ez AF just hold warcry till hes dead, sometimes have to kite around the Corpse Explosions cuz they can hurt.
Amazon Exile/Boss - Ez Af just hold warcry , our defense is simply too high for the amazon to do anything to us.
Barbarian Exile/Boss - Ez Af just hold warcry , our defense is simply too high for the barbarian to do anything to us.
Assassin Exile/Boss - depending on the location hes in determines how deadly he can be, stay out of the aoe black circle ability and you will be fine.
Navigator Can be spooky but most of the time easy, stand in the center of the Vortex he spawns and tank the cold meteor skill he uses. We have 31% chance to avoid dmg while standing still and it makes this strat quite viable. if you start to run low on pots just teleport out of the circle dont try to run away into the vortex it hits insanely hard. put more potions on ur belt and repeat the same strat till he's dead
Anomaly - Only spawns in tier 11+ rifts , be cautious of standing still for too long because he uses kabraxis's Fire strike ability. The strategy to this fight is stick and move, hopefully you get him in a nice open spot. If not then jump on him and tap em down then move out of all his big aoe skills. Movement is key!
Phoboss - Only spawns in tier 11+ rifts .Actually very doable, I got him down in a t11 map so far. probably easier than anomaly for this build but you need to know his mechanics or you will get one shot. Keep kiting him is my main strat he has a large aoe cold ability that is very easy to dodge once you see it. Ill try to post a video of the encounter if i run into him again. For the meantime just youtube a phoboss fight to learn the fight.

MY OPINION ON RIFTING - I do want to mention that i think rifts are not rewarding or unique enough to spend this much investment and time to get into. I feel like rifts should be varied focus farm zones. What i mean by this is a tier 1 riftstone should have a drop bias similar to how duncraig has a drop bias of sacred items. imagine if a tier 1 riftstone had a drop bias of sacred items, T2 had a drop bias of Jewels/Tiered uniques ( crafting materials), t3 Had a drop bias of Great runes, t4 had a drop bias of set items. t5 Had a drop bias of cycles, t6 had a drop bias of arcane shards.... ECT ECT. going up in Rift tiers would be immensely worth putting the time and investment to run rifts. There is alot of creative space to consider imo to make rifts truely a fun aspect of median. As it stands its hard to recommend people spend as much time as i did to hit these levels of gear and optimizing to feel really lack luster in t13+ and then get literally zero rewards for all my effort.

Have Fun Warcrying.

It's been long to see a new guide of my favorite character. Reminds me of the old days Warcry in D2. Looking forward to your videos and will try this someday. Nice work :mjump:

Definitely a big farmer with big damage and huge DS damage bonus. Can farm fauzt p7-8 easily with hyper speed.

Sick build.

This is not a joke. Even just rolling war cry by itself takes anywhere between 5 to 30 shrines let alone rolling a good one.

But yeah the gearing for this takes a lot of patience.

Good guide.

another solid idea, that will be great for bosses. I just never tested it myself so i didnt give it a mention in my guide. The damage with spell bind on a boss has got to be insane ha . I will add it to the endgame section+

thanks again mort

Awesome guide man! Love the idea and seeing how good the clearspeed and defenses are on this!

Very nice work.
Looks cool and deffinetly something i gonna betrying in the future.

maxing out immortal doesn't help much in upper labs. I forget which tier, but at some point, if you get hit, it reduces your avoid like a debuff, which pretty much makes immortal totally useless besides the hit recovery

Crash wrote:maxing out immortal doesn't help much in upper labs. I forget which tier, but at some point, if you get hit, it reduces your avoid like a debuff, which pretty much makes immortal totally useless besides the hit recovery

Interesting, This is the type of information i didnt have access to. I will do some testing and see if i can figure out what tier map this is happening in and then adjust my guide accordingly. thx

/e. Turns out its tier 12 riftstone where your avoid is lowered once you get hit, I will add this in. I suppose the best course in t12 + is to dump extra points into ancient blood for more life and the extra skills for damage.
