Which secondary skill is the best?
How does it fare compared to LeapQuake and (Vile) Raekor Charge?

Rules:
1. no Raekor 5 set, no MotE 4 set bonuses,
2. need to have a secondary skill in your build (HotA, Rend, Slam, WW or Spear),
3. no gear swap, no build swap until the Rift Guardian is down,
4.a) highest successfuly cleared Greater Rift in time (PTR)
or
4.b) average time it took to clear 10 subsequent T6 rifts (live):
-> start = entering Rift
-> finish = Guardian down

Ideally, you would record everything and also gather data on average champion and rare elite kill times, if that doesn´t cause you too much trouble, but it is not a prerequisite for participating :)

Enter the challenge if you simply want to test your capability with a non LeapQuake and non Raekor build and/or to provide tangible data for the purpose of comparing the current Barbarian endgame build options.

Please post as much information about your character and build as you can, also what your experience was and how you felt relying on our secondary skills to deal damage.

Good luck and have fun.

You guys rock, and this is a sweet challenge, Nubtro. I'm looking forward to seeing how future versions of the PTR change up the results.

Some of you pointed out that you'd like it if I kept an eye on this thread, and I'm just dropping a line to let you know that I just caught up on all of it.

These performance comparisons are pretty awesome, and help provide some good insight.
