Diablo 3 Horde of the Ninety Savages Frenzy Barbarian Build

Despite the Legendary Power from Bastion’s Revered, Frenzy is still a better single target damage skill than AoE. In this regard, the main part of the time in the Rifts, your task will be to find elite packs and destroy them, ignoring most of the trash packs. Furious Charge and Threatening Shout will help you with this, which will allow you to quickly find and hold the pack in place. Do not forget about the main buffs that should be kept up – War Cry, Battle Rage and Wrath of the Berserker (as soon as cooldown rolls back).
