Why the Frenzy Barbarian build works in Season 10
Season 10's Chaos system is the key reason why this build feels so strong. Two new perks - Dual Threat and Unstable Power - completely change how basic Barbarian builds perform.
Dual Threat allows your Barbarian to cast a secondary Basic Skill automatically, hitting at 80% damage. This means that while you spam one skill (like Frenzy), you'll be doubling your output with another.
Unstable Power supercharges these Basic Skills by Diablo 4 Items guaranteeing critical strikes and overpower hits, effectively doubling your burst potential for a short period.
Combine that with Deafening Chorus, which keeps your Shouts permanently active with enhanced effects, and you have a build that maintains constant Berserking, Unstoppable, and Fortify uptime. In other words, you'll be running through dungeons like a chaotic whirlwind of destruction - exactly how a Barbarian should feel.
Frenzy Barbarian leveling build setup.
The Frenzy Barbarian build is built around sustained single-target pressure and mobility. It's one of the most reliable setups for both solo leveling and group content.
