Manaleech - the problem is manaleech. By using Grief, i feel the best thing to do is to abuse it, so every item i equip should do something for my Grief.
Grief / Lawbringer in phases
Gface (Cham) - CB DS OW
Angelics amu and rings - Attack
Fortitude - 300% ED
Laying of Hands - IAS and 350% demon damage
String of ears - Leech + DR (doesnt impact Grief)
Gorerider - CB DS OW
The sanctuary and decripify of Lawbringer greatly compliment Grief.
My thinking, is use the green battle belt - Wilhelms Pride for 5% manaleech. I dont want to use a rare ring with ML because you lose thousands of attack. I could go crushing blow ML blood gloves but lose the 350% demon damage.
Am i stuck using a Wilhelms Pride?
My L92 Frenzy barb is decent, although I find him hard to control after playing another character. I use Grief (PB) with Death (eth CS), a rare dual-leech ring (+4 max damage, +63 AR, cold/lightning res), TGods belt (love the Str/Vit bonus), and Highlords. Your AR/DR are higher than mine, but I don’t have any problems with hitting, lightning damage, or leeching. Even when I get drained by a Ghost, it comes back in one or two hits.
Why would you use angelics with grief? No need really and such a sacrifice. Grief gives ignore target defence to hit normal mobs, and battle cry on bosses (lv 1 with + skills is sufficient). I know it overrides decrep and vice versa. Thats why id prefer weapon selection mentioned in above post.
Suppose i wanted Lawbrigner to hit and proc often, and for ubers to crumble. Since making this post ive decided the only way out of this is to forget about the high CB etc and get rid of gface, and use a mana leech belt (the green dual leech one) or to drop the angelics and use metalgrid and raven with dual leech rare.

Your call ofc, but you know that lack of cb from death (especially) and gface would be somewhat painfull
I would maybe consider duress and goblin toe, arreat for ubers in this scenerio.

Go with grief and lawbriger and see what happebs for half the price.
Slows mobs, that rec8eve far kore damage from the grief. Its an incredible combo.

I love the Sanctuary Aura on Lawbringer for undead, and Decrepify is amazing. I haven’t felt much of a benefit from Angelics(PvM), probably because of the ignore target defense bonuses. Highlords, Ravenfrost and a dual-leech ring seems perfect.

There is something else you could do. How about 130ar grand charms?
I fixed mana leech issue by playing double swing 
build make no sense
you try to min max your dps using Gface but waste so much dps using Lawbringer compare 2 grief
also you over kill with 2x Angelics compare 1 xAngelics and a dual leech
also good old gaze with 2 grief is a option at least you dont miss fuels with frenzy and have good dr , double swing waste of time mean waste of dps for someone using gface looking for dps
or other option use nighsmoke or Wilhelm’s Pride anyway you are low dr 15%

Im afraid i disagree. Gface works with lawbringer as much as anything else when it comes to crushing blow. Crahing blow is also affected by physical resists which decrepify helps with.
I changed my mind on angelics. Metalgrid, ravenfrost, dual leech attack rare ring.
I was thinking highlords, but i want the qtyack and resists. Also grief already has 70% ds without highlords, which also tr8ggers critical strike sometimes fr that other 30%.
This build is the hardcore winner. You can kill anything with it, whether in cha9s sanctuary or ubers.
If you want more DR then Ber the gface and use CoH over fortitude. Costs a bomb though - ive neber had a Ber in my life!
Frankly, if i thought Lawbringer wasnt worth it i wouod go with axes.
be disagree np and be stuck with no mana lmao , something really basic in every build , Lawbringer= noob axes = noob 2,4,3= 35+80% increase ias =63% ias requirements = lost of dps vs fb , mean you need badly Laying of Hands and highlords
a other barb that understand anything bye
Laters. I use LoH for the increased damage to demons anyway.
Berserker axes are very fast and open the way to Death runeword, should you like such a thing. Not much ias is required.
Also, double Grief is a great choice, course it is. But Lawbringer has a whole variety of benefits.
Manaleech comea from the dual leech attack ring by the way.
