Diablo 4 Season 8 FireQuake Barbarian Endgame Build: How To Build It?
Posted: Apr 12, 2025 Views: 44
In Diablo 4 Season 7, Quake Barbarian Build was one of the best Barbarian builds, and Barbarian was not nerfed much in Season 8, so this build will still be playable in Season 8.
In Season 8, since Witch Powers will be removed and Boss Powers will become the new Season Powers, Boss Powers can bring additional power to each class. FireQuake Barbarian Endgame Build is based on Boss Powers and makes some improvements to Quake Barbarian Build.
Pros And Cons
Pros:
- Can quickly clear monsters
- Can cause high damage in a large area
- Fun to play
Cons
- Need to wait for cooldown
Skill Selection
Primary:
- Lunging Striker (Rank 1): Dash forward and attack the enemy for 33% damage.
- Ground Stomp (Rank 5): Slam the ground for 112% damage and stun nearby enemies for 3 seconds.
Secondary
- Rallying Cry (Rank 1): Send out a rally call. Within 6 seconds, your movement speed increases by 30%, resource generation increases by 40%, and allies are also affected within 3 seconds.
- War Cry (Rank 5): Damage increases by 21% within 6 seconds after releasing the skill, and allies are also affected within 3 seconds.
- Challenging Shout (Rank 1): Gain 40% damage reduction and taunt nearby enemies.
- Call of the Ancients (Rank 5): Summons three Ancients to aid you in combat. While active, you gain 40% movement speed and 20% ranged damage reduction.
Challenging Shout and Rallying Cry provide Barbarians with great survivability, while War Cry increases damage. After casting Challenging Shout, use Ground Stomp to easily defeat a large group of enemies.
You can also replace Lunging Striker with Leap, which is also very fun, but it will take you some Diablo 4 Gold to change skills.
The best choice for Weapon Techniques for this build is Two-Handed Axe Specialization, which applies vulnerability to enemies and helps increase damage.
Boss Powers
- Andariel’s Flaming Skull (Legendary Boss Power)
After standing for 1 second, Barbarian summons a skeleton that lasts for 4 seconds. It will spin around you and spit fire, burning enemies for massive fire damage over 3 seconds. The burning effect increases the damage of damage over time effects against enemies. For 5 seconds after activating Boss Power, all other attacks of Barbarian will burn enemies, dealing massively more damage over 3 seconds.
Andariel’s Flaming Skull is a Boss Power that is used as Main Boss Power. It is the main source of fire damage in FireQuake Barbarian Build. It is a Legendary Boss Power that requires you to kill Andariel in season 8 on Torment to unlock it, and it takes a lot of time to upgrade this power to the highest level. This is why this build is an end-game build.
But as a Legendary Boss Power, the increase it brings is also amazing. The continuous damage caused by burning, combined with the fast attack speed and multiple earthquakes and shouts, stacks burning on the enemy. Most enemies cannot withstand the damage of Barbarian’s attack, and they will be torn apart like paper.
Gears
- Helm: Ugly Bastard Helm
- Chest Armor: Aspect of Might
- Gloves: Fists of Fate
- Pants: Aspect of Bul-Kathos
- Boots: Ghostwalker Aspect
- Slashing Weapon: Vehement Brawler’s Aspect
- Bludgeoning Weapon: Aspect of Earthquakes
- Dual-Wield Weapon 1: Aspect of Creeping Death
- Dual-Wield Weapon 2: Aspect of Elements
- Amulet: Rapid Aspect
- Ring 1: Bold Chieftain’s Aspect
- Ring 2: Aspect of Inner Calm
If you need to maximize the damage output of Barbarian, then this build has high equipment requirements. The best helm is Ugly Bastard Helm for this build, because this helmet can reduce the cooldown of key skills and can also cause fire damage. And Fists of Fate can increase your critical hit chance and attack speed, etc. This unique equipment is very versatile and can bring moral improvements to each class.
Other Aspects are legendary Aspects that you need to obtain by disassembling Legendary Items and clearing dungeons. It may take some time to find all the required legendary aspects, but Barbarian is very fast in clearing dungeons and farming Gold, so don’t worry.
In addition, if you get The Grandfather, then this Ancestral Mythic Unique Two-Handed Sword is also suitable for this build, you can use it.
Rune
- Cir (Rune of Ritual) + Lum (Rune of Ritual)
- Moni (Rune of Ritual) + Tec (Rune of Invocation)
Rune is equipped with your weapon, and Rune can only exert their power after combining. These Runes can mainly help you save resources and speed up the release of skills.
Gems
- Weapon: Amethyst. Increases continuous damage by 48%
- Armor: Ruby. Increases 60 Strength Attribute
- Amulet: Diamond. Increases elemental resistance by 12%
- Ring 1: Diamond. Increases elemental resistance by 12%
- Ring 2: Diamond. Increases elemental resistance by 12%
Mercenaries
- (Primary) Subo: Seeker, Wire Trip, Cover Fire
- (Reinforcement) Raheir: Bastion, Lunging Striker
You can use gold to hire mercenaries. They can resist monster attacks on you and control them at the same time. Don’t ignore their role.
The above is the general content of FireQuake Endgame Barbarian Build. You can also adjust the skills yourself. LeapQuake Barbarian Build is also a very entertaining way to play, but it is not very suitable for Andariel’s Flaming Skull. But if you want to play easily in season 8? Then try this build.
