Next, we'll break down the skills, gear, and vampiric powers for 2 best Diablo 4 season 2 Barbarian DPS and tank builds.


No.1 D4 Season 2 Best Barbarian Build

Double Swing Barbarian is a very tanky build that has high bursts thanks to overpower and insanely high attack speed. Resource generation helps with spamming double swing and securing high DPS. For this build, we’re using bash as a basic skill because that will allow us to get overpower if we crit the 200 weapons. Then we get the double swing as our main core skill, we have changing shout and we don't need anything with unstoppable. We’re running a full berserk build, the only thing that you’re missing here is vulnerability but it’s still a beast!

No.2 Diablo 4 Season 2 Best Barbarian Build

This is the best Diablo 4 season 2 Barbarian build we've all been waiting for, the Whirlwind build. A new Whirlwind version that makes full use of all of Season 2's fantastic features. With a new emphasis on Beserking and Bleeding, this build will quickly burn down opponents and bosses! The major focus of this build will be on maintaining high Berserk uptime with a variety of passives and actives. Why is there such an emphasis on Berserking? It's all owing to the new and enhanced Blood Rage the Legendary Paragon Node. This node now gives us a multiplicative damage increase calculated as 25% of Damage Done While Berserking. This effectively allows us to "double dip" into Damage While Berserking, gaining double the value from the stat.
