Diablo 4 Barbarian players rejoice as class now deals 1 billion damage in seconds

Diablo 4 fans discovered that the latest update gave Barbarians the ability to inflict insane damage when equipped with a specific item. Here’s how Diablo 4 Barbarians can achieve this feat.

Diablo 4 players are quite happy with the 1.1.1 update, especially those who like playing as Barbarians. Blizzard fixed a bug that had been stopping the class from achieving a specific skill combination which, when combined with a special item from Season 1, scaled Barbarians’ damage up to an incredible amount.

After loading Patch 1.1.1, Barbarian players discovered that combining the Legendary Aspect of Berserk Ripping with the Caged Heart of The Barber would result in achieving over one billion damage. This possibility gave them the ability to kill Uber Lilith, one of the hardest bosses in Diablo 4, in a matter of 30 seconds.

Diablo 4: How to achieve maximum damage with Barbarians

Diablo 4 1.1.1 update fixed two key elements that let Barbarians do maximum damage: the Legendary Aspect of Berserk Ripping and the Caged Heart of the Barber.

You’ll be able to get the Legendary Aspect after completing the Mournfield Dungeon found in Dry Steppes. In order to get the Caged Heart of The Barber, you can try defeating Wrathful Malignant Enemies at World Tier 3 or higher.

After equipping both items, Barbarians are ready to enjoy this Diablo 4 exploit. The Legendary Aspect of Berserk Ripping will inflict additional damage as Bleeding damage over 5 seconds, while the Caged Heart of the Barber will absorb any damage done after dealing a Critical Strike. This will later explode as Area-of-Effect damage amplified by up to 60%.

If the character happens to critically strike several enemies while having equipped the Caged Heart of the Barber, it will produce several explosions and its damage will be stacked continuously until there aren’t more targets to hit.

Sadly for players who discovered this combo, Blizzard has also fixed the exploit that allowed players to endlessly farm a boss who could drop the Caged Heart of the Barber. However, it’s still easy to get it by completing Malignant Tunnels in Season of the Malignant.
