Pride Option: Always better on a defensive mercenary.Immortal King is a Set item. Infinity Option: Keep your Merc close! If you outrun him this aura does nothing for you! The ideal aura is either Infinity or Pride. MercenaryĪs with most other classes and builds, a hireling from Act 2 serves the IK the best. No points are put into Energy or Dexterity, keeping both attributes at base levels. An IK Barb should have 85 Strength points.īecause this is enough to equip certain IK set items but also endgame items like Annihilus and Hellfire Torch.Īll other points are invested in Vitality for extra tankiness. The IK Barb is one of the few builds with exact suggest point levels. This build maxes Battle Orders and Shout to buff yourself and your party.īecause the IK set has specific requirements, there isn’t much room for customization. The IK Barb is also one of the few builds that benefits from a point in Increased Stamina and Increased Speed.ĭefensive, De-Buff or Buff skills should be limited to maxing two.
Survivability skills like Natural Resistances and Iron Skin will only get 1 point instead of the regular Barbarian treatment. Since your IK Barb will be using a Maul, 2nd maxing Mace Mastery is a great idea! These are your only DPS skills other than a few points in Concentrate (7-10) and unlocking Berserk/Bash/Leap Attack. Tactically it’s not very creative, but it’s brutally effective. Spinning to win and using Berserk on anything that won’t die is a great strategy. IK Barbs rely on their namesake item set for survivability but play like a Whirlwind Barbarian. The IK Maul also does all 5 types of damage so you’ll never need to switch weapons either.
Resistance wise your IK Barb will be sitting pretty: 90% Cold Resist, 100% Poison Resist, 118% Fire Resist, and 121% Lightning Resist. This build set has a high minimum Strength needed, which also makes this a late-game build. It uses the WW skill for his main attack but relies on the bonuses from the entire IK set. A popular sub-build of the WW Barb is the Immortal King Barbarian.
