Nomad Barbarian
Introduction
In the past, there has been a lot of discussion of the Fortress skill, and a lot of memes about the Earthquake skill (truthfully, towards the end of Destruction, it still is a meme, but it's functional!) If anyone remembers way back when, you had a timerless Fortress and it was extremely strong. Flash forward to the present, and we have a balanced and timered skill, most often used as a support skill. However, this build laughs at that and aims to use it as a co-main skill instead of just a support to another main melee attack.
This guide will focus on a barbarian using a non-traditional weapon setup -- a traveling nomad barbarian with trusty wolves -- to utilize high amounts of dexterity for block, defense, and attack rating, while boosting damage with the inherent dexterity bonus applied on javelins. Majority of the damage output will come from physical weapon damage along with a 100% conversion of physical damage to fire damage in later parts of the game after this nomad discovers how to create fire (tldr, more physical damage is best).
*Disclaimer*
Consult the patch notes if you get confused about new areas or boss names. If you're still confused after reading the changelog and the information provided in this guide, then feel free to post your questions and comments.
This guide will not be as quick to clear all content, but it is unique and it works. If you don't mind waves of arrows and so many towers on your screen that sometimes your character isn't even visible (is that a bad thing to have full screen DPS application?), I'd suggest taking a look at this setup.
Pros
-Fortress is intended as a single-target skill (all arrows target the same enemy), but it can also work for area effect damage once you stack them.
-Sturdy character (max block eventually, good defense, decent %DR).
-Proc fests n' stuff.
-TU gear can comfortably do a large portion of the charms.
Cons
-Slightly slower than other steamrolling barb characters.
-Needs lots of AC's in the beginning for self and merc.
-Not extremely fast farmer in early stages, but towards later game (25 charms, 300+ signets, endgame skill plan), it's pretty quick.

Early Game
In the first few levels, just grab 1pt Lion Stance with Earthquake and follow the skillplan below until you're able to access your main skills (Wolf Stance/Fortress). Lion Stance will make you a bit squishier but nothing too insane -- it is Act 1 Hatred after all...
*Note* Pick up all apples, rings, amulets, and jewels that you find. They sell for a lot and will give you enough gold to buy potions, TPs, and Oil of Crafts to open Griswold's Treasure boxes.
I, personally, will save all of my apples until I hit Act 5 because they sell for 7.5k whereas all other acts sell for 5k or less.

Skillplan
Max: Fortress, Wolf Companion
10-Point: Mountain King, Wolf Stance
1-Point: Earthquake, Spirit Walk, Shower of Rocks
Leftovers: Spirit Guide
Gameplay
Use your switch weapons with +skills to summon Wolf Companions and buff Shamanic Trance (barely does anything, but since we have it, may as well use it), swap back to main, activate Lightning Shield (just for the lols), use Fortress and then Earthquake on Fortress cooldown. In this early game portion, Earthquake will be much more your damage dealer (when your wolf's doom applies, your damage scales up a ton from that extra physical damage per hit), hence the reason we use Banner of Duncraig as the shield -- more Fortress procs and Bloodlust to help in between your timered Fortress skill casts, along with your Fortress/Guard Tower procs from your weapon/armor. In plain terms, lots of chaos and arrows.
Run through Hatred, be sure to do all of the extra quests that give you extra skills and stats (Den of Evil in Act 1, Radament in Act 2, Lam Esen's Tome and Jade Figurine in Act 3, Izual in act 4). Don't worry about getting your Class Charm,
Worldstone Orb![](https://dev.median-xl.com/assets/Temp_Items/baseitems/ccbar.jpg)
, until after you defeat Hatred. It's not necessary for us right now and will be fairly slow for comfort til closer to lvl 60-65-ish. See the Ennead Challenge section further below for how to do this one most efficiently.![](https://dev.median-xl.com/assets/Temp_Items/baseitems/ccbar.jpg)

Challenges
Level Challenge 1 - Tran Athulua - Max Level: 50
Reward:
Elemental Prism
(upgraded with the Sunstones of Fire/Ice/Lightning)Bonus: Completing the Anya quest in Act 5 will reward you with a Scroll of Resistance (+10% All Resist) -- Cube this with your Prism each difficulty that you complete the quest in -- +30% All Resists total.
This video only shows Skovos, Ice Priestess being completed to show how the challenge is done. Complete all three for the proper upgrade.
► Notes, Map, and Image
If you haven't completed Hatred yet, go ahead and kill Baal, then go grab Wirt's Leg to clear Hatred Cows. A few runs here should put you at about lvl 60. These extra levels make a big difference in equipping gear and lowering the Fortress timer. Once you've done that, you can either go try Island of the Sunless Sea (Glacial Trail cave) to quickly get ~lvl 68, or just move forward into Terror. If you choose IotSS, be aware of Malic to the lower right path. He has slow-moving one-hit kill missiles.
By the time you're Lvl 65-72ish, Hatred K3KBA will be much more tolerable. Our next challenge is the Ennead Challenge:
Ennead Challenge - Max Level: 80
Reward: Ennead Skill Unlocked -- Immortal
Reward: Class Charm and Upgrade --

► Notes on Ennead Challenge
Proceed onto Terror and run through the difficulty, just the same as you did Hatred, orbing your gear and uptiering/respeccing stats as needed to equip your things. Some challenges pop up in Act 1 and Act 2 that are easily completed along the way:
Level Challenge 2 - Max Level: 90
Reward: Class Charm upgrade -- 5% Minion Life, 1% TCD per socketed rune
► Notes
From this point forward, there are no more level challenges that you need to be concerned about. You should have access to your Level 90 Uberskills around this time or coming up soon, so we will adjust the skillplan slightly.
Skillplan
Max: Wolf Companion
20-Point: Fortress
15-Point: Wolf Stance, Mountain King
8-Point: Runemaster
1-Point: Earthquake, Spirit Walk
Leftovers: Spirit Guide or Ancient Blood (every 4pts)
Veteran Tokens
Reward: Class Charm upgrade -- +1 to your class skills, +20% Experience Gain
► Descriptions and Images
Once you proceed through and complete Terror, you can hop back into Terror Cows and quickly hit lvl 120. Runemaster will help you tank some hits in melee range here if you swap out some of your res gems for Jah Runes or Resist Runes (Pul, Mal, Gul, Lo), and let you clear it somewhat efficiently for low-ish damage at this stage.
First Charms
At lvl 120, you'll be able to start picking up charms as you run through Destruction. The following ubers were all easily (mostly easily, obviously some can be a bit more difficult, but doable regardless) with our early game gear.
*Note* If there is no special preparations listed, then... logic. No special preparations are needed.

► Notes and Video
Mid Game
![Image](https://i.imgur.com/bjCdLyA.jpg)
As you make your way through Terror, keep a lookout for any sacred barb-specific helmet. You'll use that to craft to gain early access to Ancients' Hand to help with boss-killing. Charsi can imbue your item to make it rare for crafting -- just make sure you are at least Lvl 95 before imbuing for this since the imbue recipe is:
White Item + Imbue = Rare Item with ilvl of Character Level +4
On that note, you're going to want to start keeping an eye out for Fascinating Shrines and Weird Shrines, specifically (but any shrine will work for now as long as you get the oskill), as shrines can start dropping in Act 2. Hopefully with a bit of luck and/or trading/farming, you'll be able to gather up some pieces for the midgame gear:

finally. Why did we wait so long? Because Nomadbarb does whatever the fuck he wants and wanted to be different from the mainstream chars. With that said, he now uses the mainstream shields because his technology evolved and it helps him stay alive better. The kite shield was great in early game since you were primarily a melee barb, whereas now, you're using Fortress far more often and can drop some of those on attack procs for more survivability.![](https://dev.median-xl.com/assets/Temp_Items/baseitems/invlrgu.jpg)

Gameplay
Gameplay will remain the same as we have been doing all game with just a few more additions:
1.) You'll have access to Ancients' Hand now (if you didn't already), which will destroy single targets and most enemies that aren't fire immune (and somehow, even fire immunes). The main issue with Ancients' Hand is that its 100% physical conversion to fire. In most cases, this is a great thing. What makes it bad is that you no longer deal physical damage with that skill, which means you can't leech with it. Luckily, we have a constant shitload of arrows flying all over the screen to help upkeep the sustain.
2.) Your pre-buffing will have to include some gear re-equips to make full use of Runemaster. When you die and pick up your corpse, switch to your +5 skill weapons and summon your wolves, use Shamanic Trance (again, doesn't do much but why not?), Thundergod (our new BRC skill -- see below for BRC Trials), and re-requip all your gear that has runes in it. And then switch back to your main gear. This will give you that extra +10 skill boost to your Runemaster bonuses.
Black Road Challenge
Reward: +150 Life/Mana, Unlocks BRC Skill (Thundergod)
The Black Road Challenge is a set of five trials aimed at impressing the demon, Kabraxis and gaining his powers. Each one has a different approach, as they'll cover different challenges and a new-to-this-build-so-far area, Fauztinville. All five of the trials are to be completed on Terror. These trials can be completed in any order, but I'll list them as I completed them:
Trial of Fear
Goal: Defeat the Butcher
Location: Inside the left-most house in Tristram
► Notes
Trial of Greed
Goal: Collect money and be rich
Location: Anywhere
► Notes
Trial of Contrition
Goal: Defeat King Koth
Location: Arreat Summit (Dark Portal after killing Ancients)
► Notes
Trial of Blood
Goal: Defeat Skovos, Ice Priestess and Lycander, Thunder Priestess within 30 seconds of eachother
Location: Halls of the Dead --> Island of Skartara --> Tran Athulua
► Notes and Map
Trial of Knowledge
Goal: Collect the brains of the five robot bosses
Location: Stony Tomb --> Fauztinville
► Notes and Map
Secondary/Midgame Charms
These charms technically could be done with a bit of luck in the previous section, but Ancients' Hand is pretty easy to craft. You don't even need a good roll of it, as long as you have the skill. It will make these next ones much more tolerable.
