Hammer of the Ancients build gameplay
- Rallying Cry is the first of three screams that make up this build of the Ancient Hammer Barbarian. This allows not only an increase in movement speed, but also as a resource charge, be it for you or your allies.
- Taunting Scream is an option that allows you to tank during a fight. When you let out that shout, you will actually provoke the enemies in front of you.resulting in them attacking you but doing less damage to you.
- Finally, Warcry is the third shout and this time it has a more offensive bias since it lasts 6 seconds and your party members for 3 secondsCheck out the increased damage, which is still very handy!
- Wrath of the Berserker is your ultimate ability and allows you to deal a lot of damage quickly when fully upgraded that for every 50 rage points you spend, you take no less than 25% damage during the Ultimate.
- Ground Shock is purely a control spell. While the damage of this attack is low, it allows you to stun the area in front of you. If we combine that with your provocative scream, It gives you good survival tools.
- Finally, Hammer of the Ancients is the central ability of this build and allows you to deal a lot of damage. The idea here is simple: With your taunt, you attract enemies, which you then stun with Earthshock before attacking them with the Hammer of the Ancients.
