Mortick's Brace grants us all runes of Wrath of the Berserker.With an ethereal The Grandfather we skip this legendary power. Echoing Fury provides us with a ludicrous 75% Attack Speed bonus even if its default Chance to Fear on Hit is very annoying with our high Attack Speed.Cindercoat is the reason we play Fire Element to further gain 20% damage and most importantly 30% Resource Cost Reduction to Fire Skills for Smash.Fury of the Ancients allowing us to have both great Fury generation from Ancients' Fury and 50% damage reduction from Together as One.Bracers of the First Men and Remorseless are the other core items granting us HotA damage and Attack Speed multipliers for crazy damage output.Cubing it allows us to use two 1-Handed Weapons for more Attack Speed and Critical Hit Damage. The Gavel of Judgment for its huge separate damage multiplier and its Fury generation effect.

Let's get into the current variation of this build and its rotation based playstyle! This is further enhanced by the high HotA Critical Hit Chance (see Mechanics) in combination with the crazy Attack Speed granted by Bracers of the First Men, allowing for great burst damage. This is an Area Damage (AD) build, since Hammer of the Ancients can proc it. Hence Legacy of Dreams is the setup of choice as it wins both in terms of damage output and toughness.

Nowadays, Hammer of the Ancients is one of the few Barbarian skills making use of the Legacy of Dreams setup as the Immortal King's Call set 4,000% damage bonus is pretty outdated these days and, with loads of new complementary item options over the years, it gets even less attractive. This effect in conjunction with Solanium and the special Critical Hit Chance buff from HotA allowed the zBarb to produce countless Health Globes in order to generate Resource for the damage dealer. Originally used at the start of Season 4 as main damage dealer before being replaced by the infamous Static Monk, it has been then used in Season 5 by the zBarb due to its old Birthright rune iteration:Ĭritical Hits have a 10% chance to cause enemies to drop a Health Globe. Hammer of the Ancients is a pretty iconic Barbarian skill.
