At a glance

Difficulty: Intermediate Budget: Medium

Strengths

Fury of the Vanished Peak halves the Fury cost of Seismic Slam
Fury of the Vanished Peak and Bracers of Destruction each add 500% damage
The six-piece bonus raises Seismic Slam and Leap damage by 37,500%
Leap with Iron Impact and Band of Might strongly reduces damage taken

Weaknesses

Bracers of Destruction only affect the first ten enemies hit
No Fury means no Slam, and fewer Slams mean less cooldown reduction for Leap
Seismic Slam only hits in front of you, enemies behind you are spared
Many buttons: Leap, Call of the Ancients, Battle Rage, Wrath of the Berserker, Whirlwind

How to play

Summon Call of the Ancients and keep Battle Rage active
Leap into the pack to trigger the Earthquake and Band of Might
Use Wrath of the Berserker on elites and Rift Guardians
Cast Seismic Slam continuously as your main attack
Move between packs with Whirlwind

On the season theme

In Season 40, Angelic Crucibles sanctify a legendary item: perfect Ancient-level stats plus one of three powers of your class at random. You can only wear one Sanctified item at a time. For this build the Whirlwind and Wrath of the Berserker powers apply, because it uses those skills. This build sanctifies Fjord Cutter, marked in the gear above. Since the power is rolled at random, a Sanctified item can be sanctified again with another Crucible. All powers are listed on the Season 40 page.
