I will start posting some question maybe some of you can answer them if you like

1) Is WW barb better than HOTA barb in higher greater rifts?

2) what gems would you use for WW
I myself was think Bane of stricken for sure, but what after that since pain enhancer is good for sure but i heard it causes lagspike when coupled with dustdevils and max cdr - and would you still use toxin gems for 40% increased dmg?

3) what gear would you use besides waste set and bul katos weapons ?
im thinking about specific:
bracers?
ring? - and if u decide focus/restraint - what skills would you use to proc it ?
Belt? even tho i think ignore pain belt is obvious - but what when we are 4x barb and so much cdr then only 2 should run it with mob rule rune or do they all need it for ignorance is blitz (around 6k more health pr fury spent)

if u guys has any questions post em pls if u can answer any pls do :P
1. Hard to say. Just saw rank 1 in EU with a WW barb, so is not clear which one is better.
2. Depends on the GR. For high GR, BotT, Stricken and prolly Taeguk or Pain Enhancer. It will also depend on your toughness and if u have perma ignore pain, etc. If survability is an issue, u will need Esoteric, etc.
3. Bracers? Lacunis if u need to hit a breakpoint, Strongarms if u go with F&R for Charge. Belt? Witching Hour if u need to hit a breakpoint or just Cassius.

So far, the higher GRs I've seen with WW are 70 and 72, season only because of Stricken and none used F&R. They go pure IAS for high damage and Unity ring to double their toughness. ORotZ for perma ignore pain + WotB.

I'm gonna try these days a combo with 3 pure DPS WW barbs (pain enhancer, bott, taeguk or toxin) + 1 zDPS WW barb and see how high I can go like that. Non season tho, so I don't have high hopes because of the lack of Stricken ... RGs take forever :/
