Barbarian Furious Charge Build With Immortal King and Raekor
Introduction
This end game Barbarian build mixes the powers of Immortal King and The Legacy of Raekor sets, combining the
all-around utility of the former with the Furious Charge devastation of
the latter. The build is designed with Greater Rift solo progression in
mind, but we also have a speed farming variant, which you can access by
clicking the link below.

Angelic Crucible Sanctification
Season 27 comes with the theme of Angelic Crucibles —
consumable items that empower Legendary items with perfected Ancient-level
stats, as well as infuse them with one of three unique, powerful,
class-specific abilities at random. For this build, we recommend aiming for
the Wrath of the Berserker Sanctification, which adds the following power
to your build:
- Wrath of the Berserker Sanctification: Hitting enemies generates stacks of Tempest Rhythm. Activating Wrath of the Berserker consumes 50 stacks of Tempest Rhythm and startles enemies within 16 yards, causing them to take 2% increased damage per stack for 20 seconds. Max 50 stacks.
Use Angelic Crucibles on an item that crosses over most (if not all)
variants of a build, and is also an item that is relatively harder to perfect
than other slots (since sanctifying an item maximizes its stats). In the case
of this build, a good candidate for Sanctification is the
Band of Might.
You can read more on Angelic Crucibles and the sanctification process in our dedicated Angelic Crucible Mechanics guide.
