Frenzy Barbarian

One of the best melee leveling builds for the Barbarian, Frenzy takes advantage of dual weapons and fast Attack Speed to quickly crush his enemies. Making sure to find him a source of Cannot be Frozen will be crucial once advancing into Nightmare and Hell mode though, or the Barbarian will find himself often too slow to kill enemies before they can get hits in.

This Barbarian will want to focus on finding some gear with Attack Rating and find a source of Cannot be Frozen for Nightmare and beyond.

Although the Area of Effect damage isn’t quite as strong as something like endgame Whirlwind, this tank can focus on Boss groups and Minions to produce a similar speed of farming.
