Diablo 4 Season 7 Best Bash Barbarian Build: How To Make Your Barbarian More Powerful In Damage? - Skills & Gear

In the latest Diablo 4 Season 7, you may be surprised by the increased damage ability of Barbarian, because in previous seasons, this Class was abandoned by many players because of its strong survivability but insufficient damage ability. Among the many Barbarian builds, Bash Barbarian has become the most powerful and versatile dominant build this season.

Bash Barbarian build is good at directly rotating around Bash to cause high damage, while using the right skills and gear to achieve the maximum effect of effectively dealing with group enemies and single target enemies, which is very rare in Season 7.

It can be seen that it is very important to choose some of the best skills and gear for this outstanding Bash Barbarian build. In order to reduce the time and energy cost you spend on trying, this guide will introduce you to some build options suitable for this build, and you can make timely choices according to your game style and combat needs.

About Bash Barbarian Build

Bash Barbarian build is a powerful alternative to the traditional Barbarian build, adding more versatility and playability, allowing players familiar with or unfamiliar with the class to show its maximum effectiveness. However, it is worth noting that this build requires weapon Tempering, so its upgrade speed is relatively slow in the early stages of the game, but once it passes this stage, the strength of the build will increase rapidly.

Active Skills

Bash Barbarian build differs from Barbarian meta build that appeared this season. It does not rely on Fury, but Bash, which is your main and cost-free ability in this build. With its help, you can deal tremendous damage in both AOE and single-target situations, and it will also guarantee Overpower to enhance your Hammer of the Ancients Skill.

After that, there are some common skill choices, such as Shouts to enhance the mobility, damage and survivability of your build; Rupture can give you a large buff to your sustained attack speed. Here are some active skills you can choose for Bash Barbarian build in D4S7 and the skill points they require.

• Bash - 5
• Hammer of Ancients - 1
• Rupture - 1
• Steel Grasp - 1
• War Cry - 1
• Challenging Shout - 1
• Wrath of the Berserker - 1

Rotation

Once you have all the above active skills equipped, you can start the encounter with Challenging Shout, which immediately increases your survivability and increases your Fury generation. If you have boots that reduce skill cooldowns, such as Yen’s Blessing boots, you can continue to be active for the duration of the encounter.

After that, you pop Wrath of the Berserker for a damage bonus and immunity to crowd control. The advice here is to spend a lot of Diablo 4 Gold to max out this skill so that you get more damage buffs. Then you use Steel Grasp to close the gap and apply Vulnerability to the enemy to activate Paingorger’s Gauntlets.

At this point, you can continue to use Bash to deal continuous damage to the enemy until it reaches Overpower to trigger Hammer of the Ancients. You should also use Rupture as much as possible to get the attack speed bonus. If conditions permit, you can activate your Warcry during combat via LithOhm Rune combination to further increase damage and gain additional Berserking effects.

Passive Skills

In fact, for Bash Barbarian build, your focus is also on the damage ability and elemental resistance of the entire build.
