Heya, so yeah basically I was thinking of running the earthquake barb build and wondered if the "call of arreat" rune for leap which pulls enemies in would be able to proc the strongarm bracers as naturally if it could then this would be a pretty strong combo. I've heard from some that they proc from both knockbacks and pull ins.
Call of arreat does indeed trigger Strongarm. Other abilities to consider for Quake barb that will trigger it: Seismic Slam (Shattered Ground, Permafreeze runes), Ancient Spear (Harpoon, Ranseur, Rage Flip runes), Ground Stomp (Wrenching Smash).
You could use any of the Fire runes in your EQ to gain those effects, but I really enjoy the freezing aspect. I also run with perma-ancients using IK set for the fury generation. Very fun combo
thanks for the info, I considered dual-sets but I feel like I lose way to much stacked fire damage. Thinking of running a full fire quake build along with those strong arms using the leap rune to mean my quake does massive dmg, would prefer a better rolled helm and quake legs but other than that i'm pretty much set

Sadly I haven't found a Cold damage SOJ yet, but the one I have is still the best damage boost with the Elite dmg increase.
Hope this helps, and happy leaping!
