Anyone have an opinion on Raekor's or Marauder sets? I haven't played a Barb or DH at top level and have no idea how well either works.
Raekor was kind of garbage last time I played a Barb, but it looks like it's been overhauled significantly since then so my input is worth a grain of salt. I'd at least try it if haedrig's gift worked for every character instead of just your first 70. As it is I will likely pass this time.
