I am a WW barb with a full set of waste gear, however I'm not sure what rings/weapons I need to use as there are several different build variants.
1. Whats the deal with using the bul-kathos weapons (as I currently have equipped) versus the Little Rogue and Slanderer weapon set?
2. Whats the difference between WW builds with ground stomp vs builds with sprints vs builds with all shouts? For instance, I was told to use threatening shout but I'm seeing many top guides ignore it and use War Cry instead?
3. While leveling/getting pushed I'm finding TONS of gear. What should I be keeping? I just found out last night that a "puzzle ring" opens up the vault. I have forged several puzzle rings and I'm a bit annoyed with myself. I will now keep them obviously. Are there any other items like this I should be aware of?
4. I feel a bit stuck with gear, I have the full wastes set, an obsidian ring of the zodiac and convention of elements but I'm not sure if these are correct. The only thing I have left to roll for via blood shards is the flavor of time amulet.
I'm really just a bit overwhelmed and would like some more direction/end goal as there are several variants of the WW barb and they all must have different purposes that I'm not aware of.
If you think of ANY other tips etc that would be appreciated as well.
Hello ! i'm playing WW barb a lot, i'll try to answer.
1. It regens wrath passively, and you gain movespeed compared to LR/Slanderer, but it looks like LR/Slander deals way more dmg, better for pushing. Bul khatos better for speed farming.
2. Ground stomp is here to procc The toughness bonus from band of might, and also pack many mobs on the same spot.
Sprint build probably for speedfarm.
Don't really know, maybe player preferences, personally, i use warcry - veteran's warning. better survivability
3. Bovine Bardiche opens cow levels in the cube, as u do with the puzle ring. Btw ancient puzzle rings will open an ancient vault flooded by Gobs.
Stone of jordan is kinda good too for WW T16, crushing elites easily.
4. You will need Focus and restraint on your char (for high grs its way more efficient than COE), use obsidian and band of might in the cube with ambo's pride.
You can still use COE for normal rifts but i prefer stone of jordan.
Try getting a flavor of time by upgrading rares in the cube maybe.
Put yourself an own goal, like clearing 110 GR or higher.
Every variant of WW Can clear a GR110+, this is WITHOUT the season buff.
WW Istvan's
- Use Istvans for the IAS and armor
- Use Wind shear for main fury generator
- for GR push: make a build that has BK weapons. once full quick swap to Istvan's. This way you will have all you buffs from the start
- most people use ground stomp (good for pixel stacking). I prefer Furious Charge (more fun).
WW BK
- BK weapons for movement speed and fury generation
- Use Blood funnel for healing and mainly because its a physical rune
- Most people use this with RoRG and Crimson Set. For crimson I recommend making only the belt and boots. reason being is Sage's set doesn't have pants, so when you farm for DB's you have to have a good pair of boots in your inventory.
- Lamentation in your cube
WW Amibo Pride and Echoing Fury
- EF for IAS and movement speed
- Use Wind shear
- Used for speed GRs
WW Messer
- You hit harder but move slower. you gain movement speed buffs from support barb
- Use Wind shear
- Used for speed GRs
Must haves skills: WW, WOTB, Rend (for the rune), Band of might proc (furious charge, leap, or ground stomp), Battle rage
The builds I list above can clear a GR110 solo easily with relatively low paragon IE 1000-1300.

1. Where do you get fury from with LR/Slander build? I cannot understand it...
By using the fury generation rune on WW
Or using
1) War Cry
2) Charge
3) Ground Stomp
