Build Guide

The Gist:

This is a build basically lets you run Seismic Slam without a generator thanks to Cindercoat and Fury of the Vanished Peak cost reductions. Pop Overpower, slam-spam, charge/warcry for fury as needed. This build does alright on Live as-is, but with the impending boost to 2-H damage and the next version of Fury of the Vanished Peak also increasing Seismic Slam damage, it should kick some ass come 2.1.

Notes on the Skills:

- Overpower is just there to boost your DPS before you enter into a slam-spam fest, as you don't need to hit anything to get get 8% crit boost. Seismic Slam is ranged, so you won't often be in a good position to actually hit anything with OP; if there's something else you'd rather use, by all means go for it.

- Council Rises rune is also flexible depending on which element you're focused on (you can also do Ancients Fury if you'd rather have them for fury gen). This build is fire, but cold would also be pretty sweet.

Notes on items:

- I feel like Harrington's is a great match for this build because Seismic Slam has such huge coverage, and your brobarians will already be out there mauling guys when you hit the chest/body/whatever to proc it.

- You can get away without the Cindercoat (say, if you want to run a different element), but in that case I recommend Captain Crimson's for 10% RCR, and trying to get it a few other places as well.

- I believe you can get Seismic Slam damage on boots, which have a fourth open slot if you don't need the move speed (paragon).
