Meteorblade already correctly answered you, and I want to add that this is covered in this guide as well. See Part 3: Crowd Control for more info.
Well, I made my day, this crusty old Barbarian finally broke a 120 GR for the first time using the WW Rend build, first floor was rough, lucked out on the next 2 and beat the GRift by 2 whole seconds or so. LoL.
To think, if someone asked me if I could beat a 120 before the last Patch with any WW Barb build, I would of said “never happen, maybe with my DH Impale it might be possible”, Look at me Now! 
“Spin To Win”!

Season or non-season?
Either way, congrats. That’s an awesome achievement 
Thanks. Non Seasons, I don’t really care for Seasons.

I finally got a pair of GG IB (CDR, AD) and immediately switched to playing it.
Just when S19 is about to end… 
tsk tsk
Maybe by the time S10 ends, I’d find a GG Ambo and Doombringer…
I do found a couple of Primal Ambo - all suck though.
The PTR for 2.6.8 doesn’t start until Thursday 6th, and is scheduled to run for two weeks, i.e. until the 20th. There’s usually at least a couple of weeks from the PTR finishing before the current season ends so maybe Sunday 8th March for the end of S19. So, you’ve probably got a month to push with your paired blades.
1000 str: 3,8% dmg (for all situation) + tougness
10% dmg: 9,1% for HC rend and 4,7% dmg for Ambo rend
My choice would be reroll to 10% dmg.
yah looking at you weapon you have a free roll on the str. You can always roll it back. You may really like the extra defense from str roll.
Hi, thanks for this guide. It helped and still helps me alot since I still try to find out how to push past GR110.
I am curious about how some item changes might make them viable options for the build.
Ex1: The BK mighty sword set, it feels like a shame that it would be second choice for this build.
Ex2: The Skullgrasp ring, I would really like to see this in the build instead of Convention of Elements. Would giving the dps boost aply to rend make the difference?
BKS are best for all speed runs including fast grifts. Anything where mobs die very fast and you need to cut time down between packs these will be better. Istvans will be better for push runs and when you have a zbarb giving you a speed boost. Ofcourse changing skullgrasp to rend damage would be very helpful but I don’t think anymore changes are in store for wwrend. It is already in a very good spot. If they did change skullgrasp to rend it wouldn’t be 400%. A much smaller number would be required.

Voracity = bye bye angels angels. Was pushing for a PR yesterday and he spawned half a map away. By the time I got to him there was already a big pool of fart gas. One by one my angels perished. GG

Very Nicely Done Guide . Thanks for all the time and effort put into this to make it easier for us to optimize our WW build and the bonus of explaining the game play of WW is certainly a welcome thing and most appreciated .
Edit : After getting gear optimized a bit better , did a 115 with not much trouble . Tried a 120 but not quite ready yet . Still need a few upgrades and higher augments . Thanks again for this guide , the build feels strong and glad to be spinning again for a change .
Free , you may want to mention on belt to get one with as highest rend damage as you can get . I believe it goes to 150 . I was upgrading rares to replace my non ancient belt with a ancient . I got the ancient one but overlooked that the rend damage was terrible . Scrapped my non ancient which was better . Dammit anyway . I’ll keep rolling for Belt , Bracers and Ammy .

did this build get nerfed yesterday ? suddenly i can’t clear what i used to
I didn’t notice any changes yesterday, I was just doing GR 110 speed runs. Maybe the armory messed you up or you forgot to equip something or other.
Good luck
Edit: I Forgot, Profiles are working again.
You are wearing immortal kings pants. Switch back to waste’s pants.
Nope. But your gear is a mess. Looks like you’re set up to speed-farm and push GRs at the same time. Could be a profile error, but you may want to re-read the OP and get your gems and gear rolls on track.
He changed pants after I posted my reply to him. He was wearing an ancient immortal king pant when I posted. Presumably, he got the ancient and thought it was an upgrade. If you notice, he now has a non-ancient waste pant equipped.

So looking ahead slightly at Season 20, there probably won’t be much change for Zodiac Rend build will there?
Not sure if there will be much we can do with the cube, outside of mucking around with speed runs, but the push build won’t really change will it?
Oh, and the irony of certain people complaining about things changing after they post is hilarious. 
Here’s a thought; if you equip ambos and doombringer & cube BoM/CoE/Zodiac, that leaves the rings open for focus & restraint. You’d proly have to invest in the armor passive or another for DR, but the damage multipliers go from 1.625 to 2.25 (plus doombringer’s)
