Diablo 3 Might of the Earth Seismic Slam Barbarian Build

Huge AoE damage, excellent survivability and mobility – this is how Might of the Earth Seismic Slam Barbarian Build can be summarized. Thanks to the constant uptime of two abilities Call of the Ancients and Wrath of the Berserker, your Barbarian will be able to one-shot most demons (including elite packs). This will allow you to farm the high tier Greater Rifts and speed farming normal ones without difficulty.
