Introduction

Empowered by the Might of the Earth set, this Barbarian build shatters the ground with overwhelming Seismic Slam Seismic Slam swings, while summons and buffs empower his blade. This tough, sustain damage, visual feast of a build is one of the rare instances of viable high tier ranged Barbarian play. The build is meant for Greater Rift solo progression, but we also have a speed farming variant that can be accessed using the link below.
