Well, if you want to push your character as far as it can go, you might be looking for the best Barbarian build in Diablo Immortal. Luckily, we’ve got you covered. Here’s what the top barbarians in the world are running in terms of skills, items, gems, and more.
Diablo Immortal Barbarian Build: Challenge Rift and PvE Build
The build below is optimized for PvE content, including Challenge Rifts, Dungeons, and Raids. Of course, skills may change depending on whether you want to optimize for solo rifts or group dungeons, raids, and rifting. The primary difference between PvE and PvP builds will lie in a few core items and skills. Overall, the best gems and stat priorities remain the same. Whirlwind is your main damage dealer, skills like Leap and Ground Stump help maneuverability and crowd control, and Frenzy and WotB for buffs.
Update: Build guide was updated on July 2, 2022, to reflect the top Challenge Rift build.
