This build is all about two things: getting lots of critical hits and getting lots of loot! Lets dive right in!
Active Skills
-Maniac
Frenzy variants are solid all around. They build up fury fast and dole out lots of damage for single targets. The damage buff coupled with the Crimson Rune helps empower all of your other skills, as well as feed right back into Frenzy. Feel free to switch the skill out for something like Cleave if you find yourself in need of more aoe.
-Birthright
Probably the single most solid skill in terms of generating extra loot, Hammer of the Ancients gets an additional chance to crit, and has a greater chance of dropping extra loot with the Golden Runestone when you do manage to get the kill. Hammer has a small aoe at the smash, so you can use this as your main method of dealing with large groups of enemies, and hopefully generate large piles of loot in the process!
-Terrify
Defensive shout that will help you live through an onslaught of enemies, and makes them more likely to drop more loot. Simple and to the point.
-Killing Spree
Keep an eye on this button, every time you see it light up, make sure you mash it! Getting a crit activates the option to use this free aoe skill. To add insult to injury, the Crimson Rune in this skill buffs up your crit chance by a huge amount, making it more likely that you'll be able to activate this skill again. If you've got the fury to spare after an overpower and the enemies in front of you, try to finish them off with Hammer of the Ancients while you have the extra crit chance. Space out the sprees and use them to soften up large swaths of enemies.
-Best Served Cold
Revenge is very similar to Overpower in that it's conditional to when you can actually use it. This time around, you have to take a hit before you can serve up this dish. Revenge has a lot of roles, it deals aoe damage, so it can be used to soften up groups of enemies. More importantly, each enemy you hit heals you for 5% of your life, which is just borderline criminal! Finally, Alabaster Rune in place, you get a very substantial buff to your crit rating for 10 seconds. Remember that both this and Overpower are free of a fury cost, so hit them whenever you can manage.
-Swords to Ploughshares
Very nice passive buff that you need to feed with a bit of Frenzy every half a minute. Extra damage, crit chance and extra chance for loot with crits. Once again, very straight forward.
Passive Skills
-Ruthless
This is what really makes this build sing! Extra crit chance is par for the course, but all of your crit damage being increased by 50% is just phenomenal! Crit as much as you can and melt some faces!
-Weapons Master
Optimal weapon choice here will help a lot in making this build successful. A mighty axe or mace here is going to be the best choice, providing extra crit and extra fury for every swing!
-Tough as Nails
Keeps you alive and lets you get in the thick of things. This skill works well in conjunction with revenge, letting you survive in the front lines and dish out all killing blows you need for the extra loot.
As with all the builds, there's a lot of room for customization. At first glance, this build probably runs a little light on the fury generation. This can be most easily circumvented by dropping Revenge and Tough as Nails and replacing them with Furious Charge (Gold Rune if you need the fury) and Unforgiving. Fiddle with it and find what works for you!
