Diablo Immortal Barbarian Best Builds Guide

This NextGames guide covers Recommended Builds for Barbarian in Diablo Immortal . In this guide, we will list all the current Recommended Builds for Barbarian, with the build name, three core skills, four Legendary items and five Legendary Gems that pair with the build, secondary gear set, and Core Magic Properties.

While these builds are posted as sample builds from Blizzard describing possible PvE and PvP builds, these may not actually be the “best” builds for the Barbarian. After Diablo Immortal launches, our theorycrafters will be creating specific builds that may differ from the Blizzard recommendations. However, the Recommended Builds feature is still useful and interesting to show how a build is put together and what factors play into its crafting. Plus, it rewards  Gold for every Legendary Item, Set Item, or Legendary Gem you collect that’s part of the recommended build!

Recommended Builds in Diablo Immortal are an in-game system that unlocks at level 33. These are built-in builds Blizzard has put together and recommends for endgame play. All classes have three Recommended Builds, two PvE and one PvP, with recommended Skills, Legendary Items, Legendary Gems, and Set Items for each, along with two key magic attributes this set tracks and builds to its advantage.
