Elemental Barbarian

Can't help you there. Guide was written and character was built without any relics in mind.
I'm certain any relic that would boost its capabilities would compliment it nicely.

Is this build updated to 2.3?

No changes have been made to the guide to fit this version, but the build still functions and works quite well. It isn't however the "best", but my personal guarantee remains the same: it can do everything with minimal investment.

What about XithXod barb axe and zakarum set? seems to be good

You would be trading 4 equipment slots for -75 efr and few other stats relevant to your build. Also the 3 pc set aura would overwrite your stance, so not good.

Thunder King of Sescheron, is it useable with stormblast in that build? Also suggest to add Icetomb and Silks of the Victor to armor of choice, Silks of the Victor is very goooood for that build

Thunder king was used on previous versions of the game to prebuff. You can certainly use it if it suits your fancy, as well as Icetomb and Silks if they work for you, but, for the purpose of the guide I wished to stick to a spectrum of "bare minimum to do that content" gear to "pretty damn good for current content" gear.

Updated guide for 2.4

Some items replaced.
Build now starts and ends full Dexterity, unless you're using the Elementalist set.
Being able to use Primordial strike without hitting anything is pretty cool, but does not provide Life/Mana on attack bonuses.

Primordial hunt is an interesting skill. Makes wolves and hunter's mark investment a worthwhile path. Less investment into bear stance allows for more damage options, which are always nice since survivability remains high.
Versatility in reworked Reward skills between Nephalem Spirit and Runemaster, can play around with either to provide different bonuses.

So what skills need to be dumped to make hunters mark to work?

That is highly dependent on whether you can progress through with a limited amount of skill points into your defensive skills. It is entirely possible to max out what you really shouldn't go without ( Conflux, Primordial Strike, Mountain King, Rune/Neph ) whilst either pumping Ancient blood or Bear stance or Hunter'S mark with a few wolves.
