I like it. I was experimenting with it before the addition of Torment, and was having success with it. I’m using Defektives Sword/Shield + Longbro build, but using Sword/Sword instead. I pick up Missile Deflection instead of the Shield Mastery trait. The block is very good against projectiles, and on a short cool down. I’m still playing around with amulet choices but Carrion and Berserker are my two choices. I like Carrion because your burning, bleeding, and torment will do respectable damage, and you can still maintain ~800 auto attack, 4k+ Final Thrust, and 3k+ Rip. I’m using Rampager jewel and Runes of Lyssa to try and boost my crit chance. I’ll make a template of the build/runes/sigils after work.

Most players don’t expect the torment, or don’t realize how much damage it is doing to them, but it is very important to land Imaple to get the damage rolling.

I have been using it since the patch and it works pretty good.
I am using Garant set with undead runes.. not rich enough to get decent amulets yet.
@ the moment im doing aprox600 autoattck and conddmg ticks 110+ @pretty fast rates.

At some points i just do my normal routine attacks @ mobs in pve and stand still to see them die in 5 to 6 sec.

There is always hope..

I am using mace/sword and greatsword atm, it works well so far. On mace/sword i have two low cooldown blocks that work as a life saver and dps tool at the same time (deflect!!)
