The aim of this build:

In season 5 everyone will obtain Might of the Earth for free. This should be your first farming build in S5 for first 1-2 days before you get all necessary items for the Raekor charging build that should be better for farming T8+. To make this build viable you will need at least 6/6 Might of the Earth, Lut Socks & Blade of the Tribes.

How to get your Lut Socks for cube very quickly:

Create lvl 1 barbarian, visit Kadala and gamble for boots. You should get Lut Socks as the only legendary boots on this lvl. Tested on 2.4 live.

Possible alterations:

passive Brawler -> Animosity for better Fury regeneration & higher dmg from Boulder Toss
different rune on Battle Rage
different rune on War Cry to increase survivability
Avarice Band -> Band of Might to increase survivability (in cube)
