Diablo Immortal: The Best PvP Barbarian

PvP Demoralize Barbarian Guide

Demoralize Barbarians use the Frenzy primary attack along with Demoralize, Wrath of the Berserker, Chain Spear, and Undying Rage. Wrath of the Berserker has full uptime, gives you a constant movement speed increase, and retaliates against enemies with the recommended legendary essences. Chain Spear summons a Spirit of the Ancient to repeatedly cast Chain Spear which deals damage to enemies, increases your damage, and repeatedly draws enemies into your damage. The Undying Rage Barbarian skill is also very important for PvP because it gives another form of cheat death and it can also heal you to maximum life which makes it one of the best if not the best PvP defensive skill in the game.

Legs

Buried Talons - Chain Spear now also increases your damage for a duration when it hits an enemy.

Recommended Sets

1. Vithu's Urges (2 Set) - This set increases your beneficial effects durations by 30% which means Chain Spear and Wrath of the Berserker can be up at all times with the recommended legendary essences.

2. Angmet's Conflagration (4 Set) - This set deals high damage over time which is instantly consumed by Lion's Mane.

3. Untouchable Mountebank (2 Set) - Great for PvP for a large absorb shield which improves your defenses.

Note: The high stacking damage over time from the Angmet's Conflagration set is consumed instantly on this build.

Best Curses

1. Lashed - Using your primary attack gives a chance to generate three crackling whips that damage enemies.

2. Ghosted - Summons a minion to take some of your incoming damage and increases your attack and movement speed.

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

2. Golden Firmament - Causes ranged wind damage attacks and increases your evasion rating.

3. Colossus Engine - Gives increased skill damage, increased area of effect, increased size (which also increases your movement speed), and knockback immunity for a medium duration with a 20 second cooldown.

4. Maw of the Deep - Used at high ranks to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.

5. Starfire Shard - Deals AoE damage and stuns enemies in PvP inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.

6. Blood Floe - Increases your damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and causes enemies to bleed.

7. Frozen Heart (important for PvP on Barbarian) - Gives an absorb shield for a medium duration and chills enemies.

8. Blood Floe - Lower priority 5 star gem that increases damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and causes bleed.

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Crimson Behelit - Strong PvP gem that gives increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.

2. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies that have a continual damage effect on them.

3. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and causes a blood spike that makes enemies bleed.

4. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

5. Mourneskull - This legacy gem can be used to increase your damage and deal damage but it no longer drops.

6. Power & Command - A low priority gem that alternates between increased skill damage and increased primary damage.

7. Fervent Fang - A low priority gem for PvP that increases the damage taken by enemies on hit stacking up to 10 times.

8. Viper's Bite - A low priority legendary gem for this build that poisons enemies and reduces enemies attack speed.

Note: Viper's Bite isn't needed to trigger Pain Clasp so it's a low priority PvP legendary gem for this build.

Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Misery Elixir - The best 1 star for this build that increases the duration of your DoTs which are then instantly consumed.

2. Entropic Well - A great budget one star legendary gem that increases your skill damage and attack speed.

3. Everlasting Torment - Deals damage over time on critical hits and increases your attack speed.

Note: These are budget one star legendary gems that can eventually be replaced with two star or five star PvP gems.

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a Duskprowler with 170+ Resilience and the Savior passive skill which provides a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience lowers the cooldown of Savior but can be skipped to make the familiar more affordable.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Look for Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Any Savior Familiar - Look for any familiar with great passive skills and Savior which gives a cheat death. Savior can be used to buy time for other cheat deaths like the Undying Rage Barbarian skill and the Gladiator paragon.

4. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting the player's skill cooldown, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives the shield critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.

5. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so the budget option familiar is a magic Duskprowler.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects duration in yellow sockets which are both important for this build. You can optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and use one or two in red sockets for higher refinement. Refinement is determined by the quality of the gem and increases the attributes of the gear it's socketed in. You can use one or two of your highest refinement Topazes for resistances in yellow sockets early on but you will eventually want to make the switch to just Citrines for higher Potency. The full duration of your damage over time will be instantly consumed on this build so Potency is a major damage increase. You should also socket your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets.

Gem Notes

The Blood Floe gem is a great option when it's combined with multiple sources of critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The Colossus Engine legendary gem is a nice improvement that increases your skill damage, area of effect, and movement speed from its size increase which amounts to a damage increase over the older legendary gems. The fairly new Specter Glass legendary gem is one of the best two star gems for almost every build. The Pain Clasp two star legendary gem can be used for a large damage increase from there being damage over time on the enemy and it's triggered with the recommended Angmet's Conflagration four set and multiple legendary gem effects. Golden Firmament is a very strong five star legendary gem that deals wind damage, increases evasion rating, and triggers Firestorm when its paired with burning damage which gives increased wind damage. When using the Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament critical hit chance legendary gems you should also consider rolling critical hit damage on every piece of equipment using Reforge Stones. The Frozen Heart legendary gem is also highly recommended for Barbarians in PvP because it gives an absorb shield which makes you better at tanking damage and as an added benefit it chills enemies.
