General Notes

General Notes for the HotA Barbarian Leveling Guide in Vessel of Hatred

Note: This leveling guide is optimized for Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred (Season 6).

With the Aspect of Ancestral Force, Hammer of the Ancients is one of the best Barbarian leveling builds in Diablo 4. Without this aspect, however, the build is not yet recommended and there are better alternatives. If you still want to play without the aspect and follow this guide, you should replace HotA with Upheaval until you have found it.

The Aspect of Ancestral Force gives HotA a much wider radius, allowing you to farm large groups of monsters quickly. Killing bosses is also no problem with this build, but it is definitely not one of its strengths.

Until when is this leveling build playable? You can play this and all my other leveling guides on Vitablo.com for as long as you like. Some of them still perform well at Torment difficulty 4, others have their limit at Torment difficulty 3. As soon as your build no longer feels strong enough, you can switch to one of my endgame builds.

  • Use Leap as soon as you see a group of monsters. Make sure you hit at least one enemy with it to generate Rage.
  • Against small groups, just use Hammer of the Ancients. For elite monsters, you should additionally activate your War Cry and Battle Cry beforehand.
  • You can save your Ultimate Skill Wrath of the Berserker for bosses or particularly large groups of enemies.
  • Rage problems are mainly solved with Leap and Battle Cry. You should also use Leap constantly against bosses to generate Rage. If both have an active cooldown, you can attack with Frenzy. Once you have found the Aspect of Giant Stridest, you can use Leap almost constantly and should no longer have rage problems.
  • If you already have the Earthstriker's Aspect and the Aspect of the Expectant, you should use Frenzy between each Hammer of the Ancients and manually assign Leap to your two-handed slashing weapon to switch weapons more often.

Skills

Skills for the HotA Barbarian Leveling Guide

Note: Level up all your active skills first and work your way down to your Key Passive as quickly as possible. If you are missing skill points to progress on your way through the skill tree, you can invest them in some passive skills. As soon as you have leveled up all active abilities and your Key Passive Ability, continue with the missing passive skills.
