Mighty Throw Barbarian Endgame Build Guide

If you are fresh in Torment 1 coming from a leveling guide, this is where you begin. Since only some Aspects can be guaranteed from Dungeon unlocks for the Codex of Power, focus on acquiring the additional aspects via gambling with Murmuring Obols.

Gear & Skills

• During early progression, Armor & Resistances should be prioritized in order to survive. Each Torment difficulty adds a penalty of -250 Armor and -25% to all Resistances and it's recommended to keep both capped at all times; this means having a value of 1,000 for Armor and 70% for each Resistance. As masterworking levels and Paragon points are unlocked, character power naturally scales into the higher difficulties. As this happens, most of these stats can start being replaced with utility or offensive-oriented ones.
• Obtaining the The Third Blade is basically required before attempting to run this build. Without it, Mighty Throw has a fairly long cooldown that drastically hinders any kind of progression. It is not recommended to play this build without it.
• Likewise, the Herculean Spectacle Aspect is the main supporting Aspect for Mighty Throw, and substantially increases its damage and area of effect.
• Juggernaut's and Anger Management are extremely important, especially at this progression point. The former is very helpful for reaching Armor cap, while the latter enables worry-free Berserking uptime.
• Bold Chieftain's helps keep our Shouts off cooldown. Since its reduction is percentage-based, we get fairly good value out of it despite not running any Cooldown Reduction on gear.
• Might and Fortress are here for some always-welcome extra damage reduction. For life sustain, Undying is also an option.
• Edgemaster's, Limitless Rage, Conceited and Inner Calm are all generic multipliers that increase our damage.
• Ghostwalker is used for some extra Movement Speed when we cast Rallying Cry. Wind Striker is also an option here.

The goal here is to progress through the Torment difficulties as you unlock Ancestrals, Paragon points, all Legendary Aspects, Temper mods and the most important Uniques to pilot this build. Some Legendary Aspects are used temporarily to fill slots that may be replaced with more Unique items later on.

Gear & Skills

• As gear is upgraded to Ancestral and more masterworking levels and Paragon points are unlocked, we can focus on replacing Armor and Resistance rolls with more desirable stats; however, staying capped at 1,000 Armor and 70% for all Resistances should always remain a priority for the current difficulty level.
• Ugly Bastard Helm is an incredibly strong item that gives a ton of damage reduction from ranks of Aggressive Resistance, as well as a hefty damage multiplier via its Unique effect. The Wrath of the Berserker Cooldown Reduction can be completely ignored; even though this is a wasted stat, everything else is too good to pass up.
• Arreat's Bearing gives an absurd amount of Cooldown Reduction to Call of the Ancients and helps us easily cap our Resistances.
• Likewise, Yen's Blessing gives another decent chunk of Resistances. The main draw of this item is its ability to give us essentially a permanent Shout of our choosing. Challenging Shout is always a great choice for it's massive amount of damage reduction, but it can be replaced with Rallying Cry or War Cry depending on the player's preference.
• Banished Lord's Talisman is used before swapping to the Legendary Amulet that is described in the Mythic setup. It's a great damage option, but should only be used when our Critical Strike Chance is capped or nearly capped. This stat is very important because Bash relies on Critical Strikes to grant guaranteed Overpowers. To help bridge the gap, some options are:
  • Temporarily equipping a Two-Handed Axe (instead of a Polearm) to benefit from the second part of the Two-Handed Axe Expertise. Two-Handed Axe should be kept in the Expertise slot as well. Swap Executioner for Cleaver if this route is taken.
  • Substituting Gar in place of Lac or Xal.
• Before swapping to Banished Lord's Talisman or a Legendary Amulet, the best option is Locran's Talisman. This makes capping Critical Strike Chance relatively easy without investing too much effort elsewhere.

This Speedfarming variant optimizes the build for easy activities like Helltides, Whispers, Nightmare Dungeons and lower Pit Tiers after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression.

Gear & Skills

• In this setup we're ignoring the Overpower playstyle and going for pure speed.
• We're dual-wielding with Ramaladni's Magnum Opus (make sure to assign Mighty Throw to this weapon), so we're helping scale its Unique power by also equipping Tibault's Will and The Grandfather. These items are already great on their own, but focusing on Fury scaling makes them even better.
• Bear Clan Berserker's helps Leap and Charge stay off cooldown and keep us mobile.
• Rupture can be used at will since its cooldown is removed when wielding The Third Blade. It's mainly used for single target burst damage.
• To ease any resource issues, we roll Fury per Second on our Chest Armor and Lucky Hit: Chance to Restore Primary Resource on our Gloves.
• As usual, a well-rolled Legendary Amulet is the best option, but Locran's Talisman is a very good alternative.
• Points in War Cry are taken since it can be activated with the Ohm Rune. Depending on the type of content, Jah can be used instead for some extra mobility.
• If available, the Elixir of Resourcefulness II can be used to great effect with this setup.

This setup optimizes the build to push the highest possible Tiers in The Pit after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression.

Gear & Skills

• Pit Pushing setups revolve around snapshotting Encroaching Wrath and Limitless Rage for huge damage buffs that persist as long as one instance of Mighty Throw is active. There are two variations that can be played; use the tabs above the gear planner and the slider below the skill tree to switch between them.

• The first variant is the standard version which is recommended for most players; this uses the Xal Rune and Call of the Ancients with Wrath slotted in the Warbringer board. For respectable high clears and easier gameplay, this is the go-to version. Use the following rotation at the start of a Pit run:
  1. Cast Rallying Cry and use Bash until Fury is full.
  2. Use Hammer of the Ancients → Bash → Hammer of the Ancients to spend 100 Fury and activate Encroaching Wrath.
  3. Use Bash until Fury overcaps enough to activate Limitless Rage and Combat Bash count is 4.
  4. Use Mighty Throw and continue the gameplay rotation as normal. For Elite packs, an Overpower can be spent on Hammer of the Ancients every 5 seconds to receive an extra 40% damage multiplier.
  5. To avoid losing snapshots, make sure Mighty Throw is cast at least once every 4 seconds to prevent having it become inactive.

• The second variant is more advanced and uses the Qax Rune alongside Frenzy. This setup also gets to utilize the Crusher Glyph since it is played with Mighty Throw set to a Two-Handed Mace. This is currently the best version for damage output, but is not recommended for most players due to it's clunkiness and extra setup steps, which can be even more frustrating when playing with higher latency. Only play this if you have mastered the standard setup and wish to push the build to its limits. The initial rotation for this is slightly different:
  1. Enter The Pit and take damage, then use a Potion to gain half of the offering required to activate Yax.
  2. Setup the Limitless Rage and Encroaching Wrath snapshot as usual, while making sure to compensate for lower Fury costs when using Unconstrained.
  3. Upon reaching 4 stacks of Combat Bash, use another Potion to activate Qax.
  4. Cast Mighty Throw and alternate attacks with Frenzy (not Bash). If Fury is constantly draining and refilling between attacks, the snapshot is correct.

• Elixirs and Incenses:
  • Elixir of Fortitude II.
  • Chorus of War.
  • Reddamine Buzz.
  • Ancient Times.

• When all relevant paragon nodes below are taken, allocate any remaining points into Strength.
