The Abattoir of Zir requires no Uber Uniques to master, and this guide is perfect for those who prefer not to rely on rare drops to succeed.

• Strategy
• Paragon Points and Build Adjustments
• Vampiric Powers

Firstly, you'll notice a drop in life stats but a gain in damage reduction.

We're swapping out items like Sho for Tibault's Will and Banished Lord's Talisman, focusing on builds that don't need Mortal B.

Loss of life and damage output must be balanced here.

The Gear:

• Weapons: Replace Doombringer with Earth Striker for stacking overpowers and a 1.5x damage multiplier. Swap out The Grandfather for an Edge Master weapon for enhanced damage.
• Armor: Keep most of your armor the same, but focus on maximizing damage reduction and critical hits.

↖ Strategy

• Resource Management: Use a Resourcefulness potion for maintaining your buffs.
• Attack Power: Aim for around 20K without Uber Uniques.
• Ring Stacks: Focus on double ring crits and build up stacks by targeting Elites.
• Damage Reduction: Utilize the damage reduction while injured to maintain potent attacks at lower life percentages.

This build allows for significant damage output, even against enraged Elites.

Your playstyle should be fast and aggressive, taking advantage of the Earth Striker's procs and the overpower mechanics.

In terms of gear alternatives, you can experiment with different setups.

For instance, Tascam and Might CU offer flexibility with your generator.

The key is to maintain high armor and life, making sure you can withstand battle damage.

↖ Paragon Points and Build Adjustments

Adjust Paragon points to compensate for any lost stats.

Keep an eye on critical chance and damage stats, aiming for a 50% crit chance and 200% crit damage.

Focus on maximising your armor. Even unbuffed, aim for around 10K, which can significantly increase when buffed.

The key to getting the most out of this build is to balance its survivability with the ability to deliver crushing blows to your enemies.

This build may not offer the immortality of Uber Unique builds, but it compensates by delivering greater damage output and a faster playstyle.

↖ Vampiric Powers

Ensure that your vampiric powers are adjusted to suit your build, especially if you are not using stuns.

Opt for powers that are able to enhance fortification or provide additional sustain.

In summary

Barbarian builds for the Abattoir of Zir in Diablo 4 Season 2 demonstrate that you can still be a formidable force without Uber Uniques.
