Best Barbarian Builds for Leveling, Endgame, Speed and Bosses

Staff Avatar by Staff

It’s time to check out all the great Barbarian builds in Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred! There’s some awesome stuff available to the big-weapon-wielders, as they’re starting to really throw things around.

The build tiers are based on pre-Season 6 theorycrafting. The lists may change after the launch of Vessel of Hatred and Season 6. We will update this page with more reliable information later on, based on the evolution of the meta.

First Things First: Leveling Builds

Before we get into the best performing long-term builds, we’ll need to get to some decent level, at the very least 60 to access Torment.

Then we’re on to the actual builds, sorted by tier. For the full list for all classes, and how the Barb compares to their builds, head over here.

Speed Farming Builds

After you’ve leveled up enough, you’ll want to get some specific gear. And you’ll want to do it quickly! The class is really tearing it up here, with the Mighty Throw variant being especially powerful. Here’s our tier list for the best Barbarian speed farming builds.

Endgame Activity Builds

When you’re mostly done with your basic gearing, you’ll want to head out and push into the various endgame activities. This includes Infernal Hordes, the Pit and Nightmare Dungeons. For the full list for all classes, and how the Barb compares to their builds, head over here.

Boss Killer Builds

And at the end of it all, the bosses! When it’s time to get those Mythic Uniques and target farm whichever missing Uniques to round out your build, it’s time to down some big fellows. For the full list for all classes, and how the Barb compares to their builds, head over here.

So that’s all you’ll need for Barbarians! Head on in there and kick/throw some stuff!
