Hey fellow barbians, after using raekors awhile I felt like switching up my build and decided to go with a physical leap build and am really enjoying the playstyle so far and decided to share! The link is above, comment on it and tell me what you think, any other BiS items, or skill suggestions!
TLDR; you are nerfing yourself significantly using Leapquake. Fun is subjective and important so do what you like, of course. Useful info below.
Long version
Aren't you noticing that you are doing considerably less damage and moving slower compared to Raekor? Leapquake does very poor damage compared to Raekor and generally cannot move as far, also with Ancient items that might not be so true any longer.
You really should consider Fire for this build instead of Physical. All the Fire runes involved do more damage. If you must use Physical and a spender, definitely use a Physical Spender.
You should consider using a 2H weapon with Leapquake for the additional weapon damage on a 4000+% dmg skill. The only exception in my mind would be if you need the CDR.
You need lots of Cooldown Reduction for an optimized Leapquake build, so get better gloves and RORG.
Berserker Wrath or Sprint over Avalanche for sure. Even Rend is better than Avalanche.
Considering using no spender and the Berserker Rage passive for more dmg at full Fury (especially if you have a lot of CDR).
Over all, you won't be an optimal Barb with this build, but it is fun to Leap around from time to time. Unfortunately, Leapquake hasn't been maintained by Blizzard and the Earth and/or Lut Socks are in need of a overhaul.
Leapquake for now is dead,they might make it good in 2.3 but atm its pretty much raekors and of course with the patch in 10 days the new builds with wotw/ik.
