Diablo Immortal: The Best PvP Barbarian

PvP Demoralize Barbarian Guide

The Demoralize Barbarian uses the Frenzy primary skill 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. Undying Rage is also very important for PvP because it's one of the strongest defensive skills in the game.

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

4. Starfire Shard - Useful for PvP to deal damage and stuns enemies inside your Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.

5. Frozen Heart (important for PvP on Barbarian) - Gives a life shield for a medium duration and chills enemies.

6. 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.

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

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

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

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

4. Fervent Fang - A lower priority gem for PvP that increases the damage taken by enemies stacking up to 10 times.

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

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

Note: Viper's Bite isn't needed to trigger Pain Clasp so it's a low priority gem for this build. Pain Clasp deals less damage on this build because continual damage will be instantly consumed and Pain Clasp requires continual damage to trigger.

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 1 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 should eventually be replaced with five star PvP legendary 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 durations in yellow sockets. You should use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can also combine all of your Rubies which give life and Topazes which give resistances into a couple Rubies and Topazes and socket them into your equipment for higher refinement. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement increases the attributes of the item the gem is socketed in.

Gem Notes

The new Colossus Engine legendary gem is a nice improvement increasing your damage, area of effect, and movement speed (from size) which amounts to a dps increase over the older legendary gem recommendation. The new Specter Glass legendary two star gem is one of the best two star gems in the game. The Pain Clasp legendary gem normally makes you deal increased damage when there is a damage over time effect on the enemy. Pain Clasp shouldn't be used on this build, however, because your damage over time will be consumed instantly with Lion's Mane which is the recommended weapon essence. Golden Firmament is a fairly new 5 star gem that has wind damage, evasion rating, and triggers Firestorm for increased wind damage when paired with burning damage. When using Roiling Consequence, Specter Glass, and/or Mother's Lament which are critical hit chance legendary gems you should also consider rolling critical hit damage on every piece of gear with Reforge Stones. The Frozen Heart legendary gem is also highly recommended for Barbarians because it gives an absorb shield makes you much better at tanking damage and as an added benefit it chills enemies.
