Diablo 4 Season 8 Mighty Throw Barbarian Endgame Build: How To Make The Most Of This Powerful Build In The New Season?

In the first few seasons of Diablo 4, Mighty Throw Barbarian build has become a favorite for players who want to challenge the very difficult endgame stages. It can throw its weapons with dominant force and destroy multiple enemies at once, which is very effective against enemies with poor physical defense and groups.

Although the cooldown of Mighty Throw may hinder your ability to quickly clear with this build, it and Steel Grasp have undergone a very significant overhaul in the upcoming Season 8, and The Third Blade Unique, which can make up for this shortcoming, has also received some additions in the new season, making this build likely to continue to play a major role in D4S8.

If you haven’t tried this powerful Mighty Throw Barbarian endgame build before, this guide will give you an introduction to its pros and cons and possible changes in the next season. For players who have tried or are using this build, here are some build options that will make you more powerful in the next season.

Pros And Cons

The main reason why many D4 players like to use Mighty Throw Barbarian build is because of its semi-ranged play style, which allows you to attack enemies from a distance, thereby reducing the threat posed by enemies in close combat, which is very important for Barbarian class, which is not very flexible.

In addition, the high burst damage of the entire build can support you to complete most of the game content and challenges in the endgame stage in one go, whether the enemy appears as a single target or a group. Of course, Barbarian’s own super high defense ability allows you to easily survive in such a very difficult battle.

However, this Mighty Throw Barbarian build is not completely without disadvantages. The first and most important thing is that it has a high gear dependency, such as The Third Blade just introduced. After you have it and spend a lot of D4 Gold to upgrade it to the highest level, the cooldown time of the main skills in the entire build will become very short, thus having a higher damage ability.

Not only that, when you use this build to fight some battles, you also need to carefully manage Fury you generate to ensure that your damage output is always stable, otherwise you are likely to be hit by enemies or bosses and cause a lot of damage when you lack Fury.

Most importantly, the player threshold for using this Mighty Throw Barbarian build is actually very high, requiring players to have the ability to accurately rotate skills and strategic positioning, which fundamentally excludes some ordinary players who like to have super defense and damage capabilities but low levels.

Skill Selection

If you understand the pros and cons of Mighty Throw Barbarian build and continue to use this powerful build, then the following skill selection may be very helpful to you, because it determines whether you can have better damage and defense capabilities in battle.

Bash can be regarded as the foundation of the entire build, because it can continuously generate Fury and ensure that Overpower, which has an enormous increase in your damage output, can accurately hit the enemy.

For the core skill of this build, you can choose Hammer of the Ancients, which can deal extremely high damage and suppress the enemy. For defense, which you don’t have to worry too much, you can choose Rallying Cry to bring some benefits to your poor movement speed and resource generation.

The key point of the entire Mighty Throw Barbarian build is that you must choose Mighty Throw and Steel Grasp for your weapon mastery slots. The former can cause threatening damage to single targets and groups of enemies, and the latter can reduce the distance between enemies and you to deal with critical strikes more effectively and make them more vulnerable.

For your boss-only ultimate, Call of the Ancients, which summons Ancients to help you fight and buff you, is probably your best bet. Finally, you can choose Unbridled Rage as your key passive, which increases the damage output of Core skill but requires your Fury.

Skill Rotation

When you have equipped all the skills in Mighty Throw Barbarian build and enter the battle, you can choose the corresponding skill rotation according to the situation you are facing. When facing a regular single enemy or a group of enemies, you can use Steel Grasp to gather the enemies together first.

Then activate Rallying Cry, and your Fury will continue to increase and enter Unstoppable status. After that, you can use Mighty Throw to deal a lot of area damage to the enemy. Repeat this way, basically these enemies will be successfully defeated by you after 2-3 rounds, and reward you with a lot of Diablo 4 Gold.

However, when facing a boss, you may need to use Bash first to generate a lot of Fury and apply Overpower to the enemy to increase more damage. After that, you can continue to use Rallying Cry and Mighty Throw, two skills with strong damage, in order. If the enemy you are facing has a high health value, you can use Call of the Ancients to deal more damage.
