Diablo 4: Bash Barbarian Build Guide (Skills, Gear, & Requirements)

In Season 4 of , many changes were implemented to the upgrading and crafting system that allows for builds that were otherwise impossible before. One such character build that has risen to the spotlight this season is the bash barbarian, an overwhelmingly tanky build that relies on cooldown skills as opposed to fury resources. However, the setup's main feature lies within the new tempering system.

Because bash is a basic skill, your main damage has no resource cost, allowing for infinite damage potential. The build relies heavily on stacking life and damage resistance to reach absurdly high levels of survivability, enabling you to push further than ever into 's Artificer's Pit. This will be extremely important, as masterworking gear can push this build to even greater heights.

The 1-year anniversary of Diablo 4 is here and so is the March of the Goblins celebration event that will shower players with Legendary loot and gold.

One of the greatest parts of this build is not having to worry about resource generation in, so we can invest in cooldown skills that can bolster bash or our defenses. Iron Skin is a fantastic defensive skill that grants an immense barrier that scales with your life, making it a perfect choice for this build. T

aking three shouts allows for an easy way to increase your damage or damage reduction with the click of a button. Steel Grasp will pull large groups of enemies in, allowing you to whack entire crowds with bash.
