The thing with me is that I just tend to rebel at words like required. So my complaint is more with that than the rune itself. I'd agree that Warcry-Impunity is such a strong skill that most builds are stronger with it than without it. I just question that it isn't possible to do it without it. Not optimal obviously, but possible.
All that said, I run hardcore. I've already died before I even hit 50 which means I didn't even make it to the point where the build would be possible to try. There are just so many high level runes in it. Though I think the actual reason for the death is simply that I've not been playing as focused as I did on my first play through. I've seen all the content before so I've lost a bit of that scared feeling and I think that is getting me killed.
So seeing as how I can't even make it to 60 yet, if I were to ever make it past SK in Inferno (my only 60 char died just passed him) I'd be quite happy with the success of the build. My point being that we are kind of aiming at different targets.
All that said, there is a chance I'll end up running with it. Part of me is less than impressed with Battle Rage. I generally can feel the damage difference when it is active which is good, but I'm mostly concerned with crit hit chance and it only does 3%. Then all the proc runes for it only have a 5% chance on crits to go off. All those low amounts really make me second guess it. So I could see me swapping that out for War Cry-Impunity if I reached 60.
The worry I have is that I want crits, but feel like I'm giving them up everywhere. I keep debating switching Revenge to Provocation. I debate switching Battle Rage to War Cry. I debate switching to heals on Whirlwind which require crits. Plus Overpower is better with them. Yet if I do all of that then the only thing increasing my chance for crits is Ruthlessness. I could maybe switch that to Weapon Master and run maces/axes for 10% instead of 5%. Still, I just worry about how I'm going to be able to get my rate high enough to matter.
