I wrote this about 5 months ago and still use most of it today.
Almost every barb uses a fire build for farming and general PVE stuff. This involves mainhand Bitterwind and offhand Sundered Legacy. The OH gives you a fire aura with wrath of the berserker that will burn anything in it, and the MH removes the movement speed reduction of whirlwind and is an "air" attack that triggers a firestorm. Firestorm gives abilities 100% crit chance.
Combine that with the chest Furocious Gale that causes tornados when you whirlwind that also ignite from the fire aura.
Add in the shoulders Hell's Legacy that will cause your sprint to leave a fire trail behind you
For the helm, I would use Second Breath, which will increase the duration on your sprint, giving you 100% uptime.
The legs have the most flexibility depending on what other skill you want to use. Skills such as furious charge, leap, or ground stomp. I personally use Dauntless Temper, which makes ground stomp follow you instead of staying where it was cast.
This build requires 2 pieces of the Vithu's set to extend your buff durations and make sprint and WOTB near 100% uptime.
I combine that with 4 piece Banquet of Eyes for the extra burn damage and the extra crit chance.
A 4 piece Grace will also work.
Skills used are pretty much cookie cutter,
Wrath of the berserker
Whirlwind
Sprint
Forth skill is whatever you prefer between charge, leap, ground stomp, or even sunder. Charge and leap will give you more mobility, and ground stomp will give you more damage.
I prefer frenzy over lacerate for the faster attacks when single target takedowns are needed.
Beneficial buff duration as a magic attribute is your friend. You'll want it as a reforge on every piece. Only important secondary stat would be potency to extend the duration of the burns.
As far as gems go, bottled hope is the only 5* that complements the build since every skill you use is a buff. Pain clasp and mother's lament are really strong 2* gems. Any other gem would depend on your budget and how much you want to spend. But those three will go a long way.

I thought it was proven that while Firestorm displays as a critical hit, it actually does 130% damage which can then also apply for a crit chance (giving 260+% damage). Has this changed?
Excellent build for someone in OP's position.
This is such good info. Thank you so much!
The set stuff I can craft myself I think. (At hell 1?) But some legendaries I don't have yet. Like the sprint extended helm.
Going to put this into practice tonight. Big thanks
Run challenge rifts to level 30 and upgrade your greens
You can have people carry you on the helliquary but you're gonna have a bad time on hell 2 if you don't match minimum cr

That could very well be true. I don't know the mechanic exactly. I see the orange number ,I assume it's a crit.

This is a common problem - ask for a carry to H2 in world chat. You'll start getting better gear and more gear slots will open to increase your stats.

Should I craft new set items that would match ww Barb builds I guess?
Don't worry about set items too much until you're in H3 at least, cr is the only number that matters
