This build is all about speed, allowing you to move quickly through the open world, burning enemies along the way.

Many Diablo Immortal players find themselves drawn back to their favorite class after experimenting with others. For many, that's the Barbarian. If you're looking to maximize your loot in Diablo Immortal, this guide is for you. We've taken the key insights from a popular video guide, focused on creating the most efficient open-world farming build for the Barbarian, and put them into this article. This isn't just about raw power; it's about speed and efficiency. This build is designed to help you complete bounties and farm the open world as quickly as possible so you can get the gear you want.

Core Skills for Farming

The core of this build is its selection of skills. While your main attack, Lacerate or Frenzy, is not the focus, the rest of your skill choices are vital for maximizing your speed and area damage. Here's what you need:

Sprint: This skill lets you move quickly through the open world, leaving a trail of fire to damage enemies.
Wrath of the Berserker: This skill increases your damage and, with the correct gear, surrounds you in flames, burning nearby enemies.
Chained Spear: This ranged attack pulls in enemies, damaging them. It becomes a persistent attack with the right gear.
Whirlwind: This classic Barbarian skill lets you spin through enemies, dealing damage while moving quickly.

These skills work together to help you move quickly and destroy enemies easily.

Paragon Points

For this build, the Vanquisher Paragon tree is your best choice. The top nodes in this tree give slight benefits to loot drops, which is useful for farming. While not the most important part of the build, any extra amount will help with getting the gear you are looking for.

Gear Overview

When farming in the open world, speed is more important than just damage. This build uses specific set pieces and gems to increase your speed and skill uptime, letting you clear areas rapidly. You won't need to focus on different gear for farming than for your usual activities.

Here’s an overview of the gear:

Set Pieces: The build uses a 4-piece Vithu set which increases the duration of beneficial effects on you and your party, as well as your attack speed each time a skill grants a beneficial effect. The build also uses a 4-piece Untouchable Mountebank set for shielding effects. These items are good for many activities, which means you do not have to change gear out for different activities.
Charm: The charm you use should have Barbarian skill buffs, such as Undying Rage, Furious Charge, Whirlwind, and Wrath of the Berserker.
Gems: The legendary gems you should look for are Roiling Consequence, Blood-Soaked Jade, Fervent Fang, Pain Clasp, Bottled Hope, Gloom Cask, Seeping Bile and Void Spark.

Specific Gear Breakdown

The legendary gear you choose for each slot plays a big part in the way this build works. The specific legendary attributes greatly increase the effectiveness of the core skills used, as well as working well together. Below is a breakdown of the important pieces:

Lasting Hate (Helm): Wrath of the Berserker has a chance to cause an explosion, dealing damage to all enemies. Sprint grants immunity.
Shackled Fate (Chest): Chain Spear attacks constantly, conjuring a spirit that casts Chain Spear, damaging, slowing, and pulling in enemies.
Hell's Legacy (Shoulders): Sprint leaves trails of flames.
Buried Talons (Pants): Chain Spear also increases your damage for a short time.
Bitter Wind (Main Hand): Whirlwind now draws in the power of the wind to deal more damage, while no longer slowing your movement speed.
Rending Bite (Off Hand): Lacerate causes bleeding. If you do not use lacerate you can substitute another skill here.
Sundered Legacy (Secondary): Wrath of the Berserker causes nearby enemies to burn.

These legendary attributes are further improved by magic attributes that increase beneficial effect durations on gear. It's also important to note, that awakening these pieces of gear adds to the effectiveness by adding increased damage and skill cool down reductions.

How the Build Works

The real power of this build is how well the skills and gear work together. With the correct gear, you can have nearly 100% uptime on both Sprint and Wrath of the Berserker. The flames from both of these skills will destroy your enemies as you run through the open world. When you face larger groups of enemies, you can Whirlwind through them to further increase your damage. You can also use Chain Spear for crowd control.

Achieving 100% Uptime

To keep the almost constant uptime on your skills, it's very important that you have beneficial effect duration on your gear. By focusing on this attribute on as much gear as possible, you'll be able to keep your skills active and constantly damage enemies while quickly moving from one group to the next.
