Ugh that is a big nerf to war cry. Overpower is a good switch

ok first put harpoon rune to ur ancient spear
lets state whats good: your bracers are good, and 300th is good, and belt is acceptable
also your dps is pretty good for the budget ur running, thats on right track

high prio upg: mainhand with higher base dmg (not dps but base dmg) --> this because ancient spear / tornados both take damage from mainhand alone --> if you can look for very cheap socketed echoing fury or then rare weapon with some ias + sock + decent dmg

2nd: 18k life isnt sufficient, try to upg items so that they include also vitality and not just str (30k+ at least)
3rd: try to add @res to these armor pieces that dont have it, you should get at least 600 with buff

4th: consider life gem in helm instead of exp, red gem isnt gonna help if you cant run properly
e: and 5th consider pants and armor without these free sockets (since you cant yet afford proper gems it might be cheaper to get one with higher amount of stats without sockets)

when 1.05 comes change to using ignore pain instead of warcry (possibly even now)

e: and foxracing yeah thats a epic nerf indeed to WC

I thought it was based on the DPS on the mainhand not just the base dmg. Wouldn't +Strengeth have an effect on how much dps the mainhand does. Plus the life steal on the weapon is actually helpful.

yeah strength is also one multiplier
and yes leech is ofc good too

its like this: my echoing does dmg 569+1053 / 2 = avg 811
811*1,85 (ancient spears 185%) * 22,08 (my str) *1.5 (50% from 300th)*1,15(battle cry)

now if you try changing here a lower avg dmg in the mainhand you'll notice a big drop in the dmg and thats why its so important piece of this build

This spec is fun as fuck although I don't use sprint...

just bought an Echoing fury aswell on my throw barb, here is a video I made with it, no problems at all about fear and attack speed is really nice for this build :

nice vid, crater is prolly harderst area too for thrower as there are many throwers / elemental shooting sorcerers or whatever those are

(but you still look like moose with IK :P)
