is the belt with -5 fury cost so necessary if corpse throw burns all your mana?
and killing elites looks SOO slow, but another alternative to revenge tank build is always welcome )
The damage output of corpse throw is dependent of how much fury you have, hence the -5 fury aids the dps ... my damage is only 45k unbuffed hence it may appear slow to u.
1) The Three Hundredth Spear + Socket is desirable
2) Belt with -5 Fury Cost for Weapon Throw + 3.00 Lifesteal is desirable
3) The Passives Ruthless, No Escape & Bloodthrist
4) It would also be desirable for your crit to be around 32% and crit hit damge 200% and above.
Strengths of the Bulid
*Doing Similar or more damage than a barb with dualwielding or using a 2hander but having the survivability of a tank spec. It is equally as fast due to the movement speed on weapon and aoe experience gain from Weapon Throw rune Dread Bomb.
* Its cheap to gear up and the gear / playstyle is probably useful when pvp comes out.
How does it work
Basically it shares the same concept as WOW warrior class when you execute mobs.Bash with instigation generates 12 per hit, you throw weapon for 5 fury. you can also gain fury from War Cry + Ancient Spear
How do you heal
Life steal due to huge aoe damage from Dread Bomb + weapons skill damage bonus
Ancient Spear - Dread Spear rune heals for 60% dmg + Passive No Escape resets cooldown if crits.

No dedicated server can cheat easily. Cartoon style might not appeal to alot of people. Mob intelligence very poor from the beta i could kite everything. Its a causal game.
with this kind of Skorn and 2200 strength I as well would love seismic slam. actually i would enjoy almost any build. Mybe because everything melts in you way no matter what skill you choose.
Melting stuff is easy but staying alive while doing it is another issue. I dont think you will find any success with a skorn with a double tornado bulid or any whirlwind bulid. I havent seen HoA 2hand bulid that has decent surivibility. The only 2hander bulid that worked other SS bulids is the rend w)bloodlust + merciless assault. Thats my 2 cents anyway.
My experience with 1.04 Arcane Mines is they serve the exact same purpose as Meteor - a delayed but potent tight-area AoE (with the option to spread it out a little). So you're basically alternating two Meteors , one of which gives you slow. I can't imagine this spec working in Act 2 though. Stuff moves around like crazy there.
Act 2 i have no issues at all, I find mines more similar to blizzard but better burst and easier to snare. Mines and Meteor are similar but work differently but i think they have good synergy. I hardly die in act 1 , 2 ,3 but act 4 is challenging to stay alive. I cant find a comparative 2hander burst dps bulid with good survivbility. Archon is crap in my view.
Try Arcane Torrent (Mines ) / Meteor Star Pact 1.04 Bulid.

I thought i share a viable 2hand bulid that makes me play my wizard more than my barb. Its basically a kiting bulid without blizzard that uses Arcane Torrent Mines to slow mobs & Star Pact to finish mobs. I tested this spec multiple times on Bridge of Korsik Act 3 and it has decent survivability. All u need is a 2hander with 150+ int & 150+ crit dmg. Storm Crow head piece + some crit important to keep AP up. 850 all resist with prismatic armour. Sorry for the crappy first attempt at a video.
