5th Passive = Ruthless or Brawler

You need to have 5 pieces of Raekor and 3 pieces of Immortal King. So in top of Immortal king weapon and belt, you have the choice to either use;
a) Immortal King helmet
B) Immortal King chest
c) Immortal King legs
d) Immortal King gloves
The best one to chose, is the one that has the best stats. :)

If you have trouble Surviving, then you can change the rune on Wrath of the Berserker into "Striding Giant" for 50 % Damage Reduction and still keep the main stats from WOTB. This 50 % Damage reduction, which makes your healing a lot stronger as well and helps on the Rift Guardian. This is good to do on GR60-85. But if you wish to push higher, then you will really need that damage and it is required to fish for nice easy mobs, packs and rift guardian that you have immunity amulet towards!

Math:
Regular build: 2296.4 B dps & 218,640,303 toughness
Striding Giant: 1537.1 B dps & 437,280,607 toughness
Band of Might cube: 1324.97 B dps & 546,600,758, because of only 19 % uptime on WOTB

So that means:
Striding Giant is -33 % dmg, but x2 toughness
Band of might is: -42,3 % dmg, but x2.5 toughness

Another option, is to change Focus/Restraint to Convention of Element + Stone of Jordan:
Focus & Restraint: 2296.4 B dps & 218,640,303 toughness
CoE & SoJ: 1681.1 B dps & 215,722,690 tougness

So as you can see, you lose 36 % dps by doing so.

For higher Greater Rifts, I'd also recommend to give up either Area DMG or % DMG on the weapon to get life per fury spend, it helps a lot to stay alive on trash and also a bit on Rift Guardian. BEWARE, that Rift Guardians is the hardest part for Raekor barbs, and in higher grifts it will be all about fishing for whatever immunity amulet that your using. Such as, if you have Mara's you wanna fish for Hamelin and other poison bosses.

-

To keep up stacks on Furious Charge, you need to either hit a lot of mobs or ONLY one. If there is between 2 and 5 mobs, then either skip or go pull more mobs. It takes a bit time to get the hang on how to not waste FC stacks, but it's all about walking when there is not enough to charge onto. :)

-

I recommend to gamble helmet and gloves in the long term, because it's hardest to get good rolls on these slots.

-

More than 95 % of your damage is from Bolder Toss, and the more Fury you have, the more damage it can deal. Therefore, I highly recommend picking Fury in paragon and also getting Fury on your weapon and belt as secondaries.

SIMULATION:


D3 simulation for Raekor Barb:

As you can see,
- Furious Charge is 3,12 +(3,12/78.63*21.29) = 3,95 % of the total damage
- Boulder Toss is 75.51 + (75.51/78.63*21.29) = 95.95 % of the total damage

For solo, there is a high chance (according to tests on PTR), that LoN Frenzy Barbarian might be able to go highest, but is a LOT LOT LOT harder to gear up, check this guide for more info about that build:
