Overview
Daniel outlines and demonstrates a defensive Barbarian leveling build configured to survive Tier 15 through Tier 17 Nightmare Dungeons while underleveled at level 57, prioritizing survivability, crowd control, damage mitigation, and barriers over high damage output.
The build utilizes Bash, Hammer of the Ancients with Pressure Point, Ground Stomp, Iron Skin, Challenging Shout with Booming Voice, Call of the Ancients, and passives including Thick Skin, Defensive Stance, Counter Offensive, and Unbridled Rage.
Equipment aspects deliver crowd control immunities, stacking armor on hit, elite barriers, outward Hammer of the Ancients damage, and frost trails from looted boots, supported by tactics like cycling defenses, stun-locking, kiting, and opening with the ultimate ability.
