Never used it before.
Do I need Life Stolen Per Hit, or LAEK? The Indepth Barb Sword Crafting guide in the OP says Life Stolen per Hit is going to rake in huge damage from Arcane Hunger. Meanwhile, DDJ just said in a reply to bank LAEK and get ready for Arcane Hunger. One of these things is not like the other
so, Life stolen per hit is needed if you dont naturally roll it. Life stolen per hit is ONLY worth mo'ing IF you get
Arcane Hunger

life stolen per hit does not leech life on this build, we only mo it to gain the very large benefit of 25% spell damage from arcane hunger.
Some things to point out when crafting:
craft around what you roll - go for a LAEK roll WITH warcry. (best case)
(if you dont hit life stolen per hit on your sword ) You MO with ghal runes would be - 5x 3% life stolen per hit mo's. That makes your sword required 120
you then add arcane hunger . Which makes your sword 130 , then you can either sigil of absolution it twice to make it go back down to 120. Then adding 5x LAEK mystic orbs to make your sword 140. Or you can go for a DPS unique mystic orb whether that is

Obviously if you hit life stolen % on the sword and got lucky that saves you from having to put %life stolen per hit on your sword, which gives you more room for dps Unique mystic orbs or w/e else you want.
you want to be careful when you use arcane hunger because then you can NOT unsocket your item. Once you apply the arcane hunger its perma +10 required levels and unsocketable.

I read about the mechanics but it says WDM kill so i am not sure if our kill would have to be "on deathblow" rather.
Inner Fire proc would be nice but i guess thats a no go.
Secondly.... I have been trying to get into Fauzt by completing the Path to Enlightenment challenge.. after a few hours i just managed to kill one of those elemental guys. Is it at all possible to just cry em to death ?
Or would I have to respec to each element in order to complete this ?
Thanks folks
On kill procs do not trigger while using warcry as your main damage source. ONLY on death blow procs will work with warcry.
it is also very doable to do all types of the fauntzville upgrade challenge, obviously you will do the most damage to the phy/magic boss then the other ones. id have to assume your damage atm is just a little low atm, i wouldnt bother respecing to each element to kill one boss at a time. If anything i suggest bringing in other people to help you.
