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.

Season 33 Theme — 4th Kanai Slot

- Ring 1: Focus

- Kanai's Cube 4th Slot: Band of Might
Altar of Rites
The former Season 28 theme, the Altar of Rites, has been revised and re-added to Diablo 3 as a permanent character progression mechanic. — For virtually all builds and players of all skill levels — from casual to advanced — we recommend progressing through the Altar tree using the path outlined below. The suggested path is geared towards maximum quality of life first, then amplifying damage, and then mopping up the tree with defensive and edge case utility nodes.
Note that while they require reaching them with a Seal, Legendary Potion Powers are not part of the Seal cost system; Potions unlock with a separate resource called Primordial Ashes, obtained from salvaging Legendary or Set items of Primal (red bordered) quality. Upgrade them as soon as possible, and in the order shown below (courtesy of Caleko's Altar of Rites planner).
You can read more on the Altar of Rites, Seals and Legendary Potion Powers in our dedicated Altar of Rites Mechanics guide.
