· The Season 14 Barbarian leveling build focuses on 'Whirlwind' and is designed for rapid progression from level 1 to the highest difficulty.
· You can find the detailed build through the planner link in the video description.
· Key gear stats important during leveling include:

Slot	Core Stats
Helm, Chest, Pants, Boots	Fury Generation Maximum Life
Gloves	Fortify Generation (when dealing direct damage while Berserking)
Pants	Heavenly Strength (Damage reduction when using two-handed weapons)
Boots	Resonating Voice (Increases Shout duration, Weakens enemies)
Weapon (Two-Handed Bludgeoning)	Channeling Damage Increase Maximum Life
Rings	Fury Generation (Resource Regen) Increased Resource Generation Lucky Hit: Resource Recovery
Amulet	Overpower Damage (Dust Devil damage increase) Movement Speed

· For the Helm, the 'Battle Rage' ability (grants Berserking after 5 weapon swaps) is recommended.
· For the Chest Armor, 'Cursed Touch' (makes enemies Vulnerable, increasing damage taken) is recommended.
· For Boots, use 'Tempering' for increased movement speed. Tempering unlocks at level 10.
· For Weapons, 'Endless Fury' (deals increased damage while generating Fury) and 'Call of the Ancients' (deals increased damage when using an Ultimate) are also useful.
· For Rings, use 'Brave Chief' (reduces Shout cooldown) and 'Rage Impulse' (generates Fury when swapping weapons).
· For the Amulet, increase Dust Devil damage with the 'Overpower' stat and prioritize Movement Speed. If resource isn't an issue, choose 'Movement Speed' over 'Resource Generation'.
· For Talismans, 'Mastery Technique' (Movement Speed increase) or 'Master's Title' (All Skill Levels +2) are recommended.

· The order of progression in the skill tree can be checked via the 'Leveling Path' button in the video. It's crucial to follow the skill unlock order for each level.
· Basic Skills:
· Frenzy: An early Fury generator. Its area-of-effect attack and monster teleportation function also aid in mobility. The 'Fury Generation' upgrade increases Fury gained and grants 3 seconds of Berserking on critical strikes.
· Core Skills:
· Whirlwind: Your main skill, dealing powerful damage even early on. The 'Gale Force' upgrade increases damage during its duration, and 'Dust Devils' upgrade deals continuously higher damage. If you struggle with Fury, use 'Mobility Whirlwind' temporarily and switch to 'Damage While Channelling' once resource management is stable.
· Shout Skills:
· Rallying Cry: Increases resource generation and movement speed. The 'Fortify' upgrade grants Fortify equal to 15% of your maximum Life when cast. Since it consumes Fury, it's best to cast it before using Whirlwind. The 'Resonating Voice' upgrade increases movement speed bonus and resource generation. The 'Potency' upgrade increases its effect by 20% and also applies to allies.
· War Cry: Provides additional damage. The 'Mighty War Cry' upgrade increases attack speed. The 'Fury' upgrade increases the War Cry damage bonus and grants 4 seconds of Berserking. The 'Extended Duration' upgrade increases its duration.
· Mobility Skills:
· Charge: Increases movement speed. The 'Fury Charge' upgrade restores Fury. The 'Charging Bull' upgrade summons an Ancient, and the 'Pull' upgrade pulls enemies near your landing spot.
· Ultimate Skills:
· Call of the Ancients: Deals very high damage during the leveling phase. The 'Empowered Call of the Ancients' upgrade summons 3 Ancients, and the 'Damage Amplification' upgrade increases damage based on the number of summoned Ancients.
· Tempering unlocks at level 10, prioritize movement speed increases. A detailed Tempering guide is available on the website.

· The Barbarian's weapon swapping system is a core part of the build.
· Weapon Slot Setup:
· Whirlwind: Two-Handed Bludgeoning
· Frenzy: Dual-Wield
· Charge: Two-Handed Slashing
· This setup automatically switches to the corresponding weapon when a skill is used, maximizing the stats and effects of each weapon type.
· It's crucial to maintain Berserking, especially in conjunction with the 'Battle Rage' ability (grants Berserking after 5 weapon swaps).
· If the weapon swapping system doesn't function correctly, the build's efficiency will significantly decrease, making precise setup essential.
