For crying out loud! Does it really work for you guys? Well, I’m satisfied with both Focus and Restraint nor Band of Might and Convention of Elements. And also to include the Obsidian Zodiac. However…, Skull Grasp …? Oh, come on! I’m very puzzled!
A few comments:
First, this should be in the barbarian forum, specifically the stickied guide for wrath of the wastes.
Second, what are you talking about? Is this a question?

Skull grasp was the whirlwind + 300% ring right?
its not used as ww barb nowadays since main damage comes from rend. And especially the manually casted rend and its area damage proccs.
If that answers your question (if it was one)?!

@ Diavel Great. I appreciate that info. Thumbs up
Skull Grasp was previously mandatory for WW, a patch killed it to favor stacking Rend instead.

Now I’m convinced… I appreciate that info @Ghostpos
Skull Grasp is usable in a speed build, since it removes the slow damage of Rend in favor of greater area of high damage.

Not really. WW doesn’t really do any damage when you can have rend do it’s damage immediately… so even in speed builds, you’re still not using Skill Grasp.

WW still does decent damage, do remember it was able to do GR100 before the Rend change. That damage is still there, and Skull Grasp is the only complementary legendary you need to reach it.
That’s also why it is mentioned in the Zodiac Rend guide under speed variations

Hmmmm, now I see things crystal clear… Other clan members cited …perhaps, I’m not using the right combination of rings and armor while using skull grasp. That’s true it is fast although they’ve noticed that on most occasions , it needs more power to impact such an assault on surrounding enemies. On the other hand, replacing the skull grasp with any other ring combination then applying the rend via “ambo’s pride sword” does the job too. But…there’s also a side-effect…the whirlwind gets slower after a while. So they applied the skill Sprint marathon rune to spice it up. Both have positive and some negative effects unless corrected with the right combo of items
skull gasp is useless…
this is blizz’s problem…up few legacy item without considering other symbiosis legacy items…create new garbage after another…
the skull grasp should be buffed , leaving the option either whirldwind OR rend as viable choice in set item.
Now i just believe it should just have “skull grasp” now has all skill runes and maintain the % damage whirlwind.
