hmmm, we have to wait and see. the only thing that would totally, utterly piss me off is if this patch would force everyone who wants to go for an effective ww/sprint barb to use the IK set bonus. it would make it a rich people only build and cut into gear diversity.

If the WW build still works with less WOTB uptime I think thats great, it's a bit bullshit with 100% uptime.
I cant even read the item names that drop while running.

I want to pick up a lifesteal belt but im not sure whether to go for lamentation or an IK belt to start filling out my set.
I currently have the IK boots and helm.
Should I go for the set or are mix match pieces too good?

You have 2 pieces of IK.

The answer is obvious.

Honestly guys, HoA-Smash Builds will be the thing to go for low-cost gear. Just dish out your 2mio crits (in good partys) and reg 12k hp per crit hit.

The spec is kinda like Cleave(rupture or broad sweap), hammer of ancients (smash), warcry(impun(may change)), battle rage(IoF), sprint(rltw) <- can be changed to something totally different, Berserk(insanity).
Passives as you wish, but I guess you want ruthless and weapon mastery. I like to add brawler as the 3rd(gets me up to 100k in 80% of elite engagements). If you are scared to get in low hps get a defensive passive.

I am using a 2h with critdmg% and 6% lifeleech. Typicall random medicore str/vit equip, lamentation with %cleave and ofc 2.80+% lifeleech.
Key is to make enough damage (at least 300k crits) to heal you up immediatly.
I used a long time ancient spear with harpoon to stack the elites in one cell before me and just pulverize them.
Switched to berserk to get nasty stuff down (molten,illusionst,elecrtified crap) fast enough.

Get up to ~70k dps (pretty easy with 2hand imo) and crit the shit out of the elite packs.
When I am with monks my crits go up to 2kk.
Tho im currently running weapon throw build I will change back to 2h smash for /player X and the uber bosses.

edit: if people wonder why cleave: for me HoA with smash acts like a pseudo-single target therefor I want an "AoE" to clear the way if you are surrounded by trashmobs. Also I noticed that the healing from cleave with rupture when you trigger a lot of chains is you amazing. If you prefere something else do that, just keep an eye on your ability to recover HP when you are low on fury.

Ive been running the HoA build for the past few days as well, and i think Ill probably stick with this build over ww in 1.05.

I dont think wotb is really necessary here though, trash dies instantly, and elites dies very quickly even without wotb anyways, whenever I used wotb it felt like a waste. Instead I think that ignore pain-iron hide and sprint-marathon are much more useful here, ignore pain allows you to spam HoA under arcane/molten/desc with very low defenses, and marathon allows you to easily chase down ranged elites and reposition if needed. Not concerned about lifesteal at all, at 100k dps or so you get more than enough life steal from the 3% passive.

bloodshed sounds really good with this build, but wouldnt you have fury problems without into the fray? I remember when I ran marauders rage I had to cleave elites a lot more than HoA.

Im also a bit indecisive between 1h + shield and 2h with this build, feels like the damage is already so high most of the time it feels like I can easily kill anything in time, 1h + shield seems more valuable with the extra defenses than 2h, Im curious if this will change with a new 50m skorn I bought on impulse.
