I'm running a Frenzy baba in HCL currently and was curious as to who else does the same, and what gear y'all are using. Looking forward to any replies.

Current Setup:
L89

Arreat w/ ed Jewel
Up'd Duriel's w/ Pul (looking for Fort / Enigma / GG Arkaine's Valor)
Highlord's
Dungo's
LoH
2x BK Rings
Gores
Shitty Grief zerker MH
Badass eBOTD zerker OH
2x BO Sticks

Merc: A2 Might
Bulwark Tiara ( Soon to be Hearth for CBF)
Treachery
eth GPA Obedience

Charms: +AR/Dmg/Life GC's, Anni, Torch, and some Life SC's

Skills:
20 Frenzy
20 Double Swing
20 Axe Mastery
20 BO
Extra pts into Taunt, & the 1 point wonders

usually run shenk, eldritch, the warden guy, the dude in arreat plateau, pindle, trav, cathedral, pit and chaos sanc (i spam howl to better dps targets down)

I know its meme spec'y but it's still pretty fun. Was wondering what you guys thought of this layout too.

String of ears is generally recommended over verdungos for life steal.

I have 12% Life Steal currently, do you really think the SOE > Verdungo's in this setup? I was thinking about switching it.

If you do not need that faster hit recovery, then it just comes down to (Vitality) verdungos vs (life steal + magic damage reduction) string of ears

to add to this: mdr is pretty neat in pvm. and life from vitality mod of items does not get boosted from BO, so dropping verdungo does not diminish your life pool that much
