So here we break down the best skill tree setup for creating the strongest Barbarian build and leveling to 25 fast!
Start Skill Setup (Level 1-3)
Level 2: Flay (Basic) +1 Point
Level 3: Enhanced Frenzy
To gain access to other sections, all that's required is an investment of 2 points in Basic Skills. One highly recommended option within this category is Flay, as it not only causes Bleed but also applies the Vulnerable debuff to the target.
Core Skill Setup (Level 4-6)
Level 4: Whirlwind (Core) - 1 Point
Level 5: Enhanced Whirlwind
Level 6: Violent Whirlwind
Level 7: Combat Frenzy (Basic) +1 Point or Whirlwind +1 Point
Make sure you get the Whirlwind increased damage over time, you can go with slashing weapons if you have that for some bleeding damage as well, so this is a choice depending on your weapon. You don't have a second at the start, so you can go with damage reduction or you can go with more points into Whirlwind.
Defensive Skill Setup (Level 8-10)
Level 8: Rallying Cry +1 Point
Level 9: Enhanced Rallying Gry + 1 Point
Level 10: Tactical Rallying Cry +1 Point
Now, let's go over to Defensive Skills, Rallying Cry gives you +30% movement speed is going to be essential, and also will be getting more Fury, so the more Fury we get the more thriller welding we'll do.
Brawling Skill Setup (Level 11-17)
Levels 11-12: Whirlwind (Core) +2 Point
Levels 13: Leap (Brawling) +1 Point
Levels 14: Enhanced Leap
Levels 15: Power Leap
Levels 16: Whirlwind (Core) +1 Point
Levels 17: Combat Frenzy
Now let's perk up Whirlwind, then take us into Brawling, so let's get the leap and reduction to cool down, and finally, we get additional Fury. Also, we need two more points, so we come back over the core and pack Whirlwind up to 5 points and perk Combat Frenzy up.
Weapon Mastery Skill Setup (Level 18-23)
Level 18: Steel Grasp (Weapon Mastery) +1 Point
Level 19: Enhanced Steel Grasp
Level 20: Warrior's Steel Grasp
Level 21: Pit Fighter +2 Points
Level 22: Expose Vulnerability +1 Points
Level 23: Slaying Strike +1 Points
Now we have Weapon Mastery and we can go with Steel Grasp to make enemies vulnerable and also give us an additional charge. Finally, there are some really good perks like Pit Fighter, you can perk through to the Expose Vulnerability and Slaying Strike if you want a little more vulnerability, especially with the Steel Grasp.
Ultimate Skill Setup (Level 24-25)
Level 24: Wrath of the Berserker (Ultimate) +1 Point
Level 24: Prime Wrath of the Berserker
Level 24: Supreme Wrath of the Berserker
Level 25: Expose Vulnerability +2 Points
Now we can come back over Ultimate and finish off with water berserker and this should take us to 27 points finally, we can perk Expose Vulnerability more because how we play is starting with jumping into enemies with Leap and still grasp grouping enemies together, and then they will be vulnerable and you'll do more damage. But if they're already vulnerable with other sources, you can go with modify that so this is the choice as well, just make sure it when you change it everything else changes right over here.
For helping you complete the strongest Barbarian build, we also have some gearing suggestions:
Right Weapon: Rapid Gargoyle Greatsword - this particular weapon provides me with a massive boost of attack speed for 56 for basic spells and we're actually attacked really fast
Second Weapon: Edgemaster's Barbed Sword with Drude Amethyst
Third Weapon: Doom Exile
Left-Hand Weapon: Bonebreaker of Encroaching Wrath
Armor: Eluding Adventurer's Tunic
Helm: Adventurer's Helm of The Iron Warrior
Rings: Band of Berserk Ripping, Slaking Loop
Amulet: Vigo's Protecting Amulet
Boots: Relentless Berserker's Boneweave Treads
Pants: Adventurer's Pants of Might
Gloves: Devilish Adventurer's Gloves
Gems:
For weapons, use gems with damage over time, such as Crude Amethyst

For sockets, resistances to all elements
