This build mainly focuses around using Frenzy. With all of the boosts it gets from your gear, this Skill will become your biggest source of damage. Your three Shout Skills (War Cry, Threatening Shout, and Battle Rage) become very useful as well, as all of their effects are doubled, giving you access to various powerful buffs.

Besides these Skills, other core Skills are:

Passives

Equipment

The primary armor will be the Horde of the Ninety Savages set. You will need five pieces of it for the full effect (if you Cube the Royal Ring of Grandeur). Oathkeeper, Bastion’s Revered, Depth Diggers and The Undisputed Champion will all exponentially boost Frenzy. The Aughild’s Authority set, Convention of Elements, and Squirt’s Necklace will further boost overall damage. In-Geom will grant you some Cooldown Reduction, and Band of Might will give you extra survivability.

Simplicity’s Strength, Bane of the Trapped, and Molten Wildebeast’s Gizzard are generally the best Legendary Gems. The first two will boost your damage, while the last will increase your survivability.
