I'm not sure how many of you have tried using Cord Sherma. I don't see this item being mentioned in a lot in the builds uploaded.
If anyone picks up this item, I really suggest using it or at least try it out once because it is really good especially for high attack speed builds (such as Barb whirlwind build).
This item really boosts your sustain and damage!
For those of you who have tried please leave a comment!
It is a solid placeholder, maybe 2nd or 3rd on the list of BiS.
But, for WW Barb, it doesn't beat out the IK belt, and for DH, it isn't better than WH. Wiz seems like they'd want TR set belt. Not sure about Monk or WD.
Exactly this, and this happens with all the cool proc items.
While you can discuss if it's better than a damage belt (WH, bombardment on sader), you often NEED the set belt.
Pushing us more and more into 6 piece set (only way to do real damage), and combine with another 4 piece, most of the non set items become... worthless and just for that 1 week of progression into your set.
But, I think this belt could be very strong for a support monk, if that ever makes it's comeback (perma fear on WD "will be fixed").
thanks for the feedback. I started using this belt because I never combined WW with IK (I only use WW). But yes you guys are right, IK set (and any other set) are too good to trade with Cord of Sherma. I hope Blizzard can do something to fix this.
I think we are too far in to change the concept (until next expansion, rendering current gear worthless) of what sets do. They would have to bump the effect of procs by A LOT to make them compete with the current set bonus you get.
Something I personally would really enjoy (but never gonna happen, since it would break the idea behind different legendaries), is to add legendary affixes to the pool of secondary rolls in that slot (but not possible to reroll, maybe so the current legendaries keep their default affix and can have a 2nd?). Example: tal rasha belt can roll the effect of cord of sherma as a secondary. Cord of sherma always comes with this affix, but can also have the effect of sash of knifes as 2nd secondary. This way we actually see use of those effects, and maybe can have more build diversity? Again, this is me dreaming, it I don't expect this to ever happen. *dreams about an amulet making me immune to lightning and arcane, 4 piece blackthorne on support char* or *dreams about zunimasa/nats/focus/restraint ring with the rorg effect*

WD has the fetish belt now.
I guess that is left with the Monk. Crusader has Bombard belt I think.
My first thought was it'd be a great Monk belt.
