A very powerful Barbarian build based on the Immortal King's set and Hammer of the Ancients attack skill

Diablo 3's Patch 2.6.1 brought a lot of changes to the majority of sets and items. With the extreme buffs to Hammer of The Ancients items and the Immortal King's Set, it became one of the best Barbarian builds in the game. In Patch 2.6.4, the bonus damage when wearing six pieces of Immortal King's set was nearly tripled, allowing it to remain one of the major Barbian sets in Season 16.

General information

The entire build is based on the Immortal King's set which provides the following bonuses:

  • Call of the Ancients lasts until they die, or until the Barbarian dies (2/6)
  • Reduces the cooldown of Wrath of the Berserker and Call of the Ancients by 3 seconds for every 10 Fury spent with an attack (4/6)
  • While both Wrath of the Berserker and Call of the Ancients is active, the Barbarian deals 4000% increased damage (6/6)

The Immortal King's set is extremely powerful and well-rounded. It grants the player 100% uptime on Wrath of the Berserker, and 4000% increased damage. It remains one of the best Barbarian sets, but sadly, in Season 16 where a vast amount of new options was introduced, it's no longer even in the Top 3 for its class.

The gameplay mechanics for HotA IK build are simple. You charge between groups of monsters and smack them with the Hammer of the Ancients. This build could be played with a lot of different weapon combinations, but Istvan's Paired blades grant the highest attack speed. High attack speed and Bane of the Stricken Legendary Gem is the best pick for very high solo GR pushing.
