So I got some lucky items including a primal raekors shoulder and I want to transition from a IK HotA build to furious charge build. I have an ancient ik 2 hander and gloves so I'd like to keep using those. I'm trying to figure it out using icy veins but it seems off. I have a primal skulars salvation too but it seems worse than morticks. Overall I'm having trouble making it work. Thanks!

So as far as gear choices go, icy-veins is on point for the charge Barb. Exact same setup I've got. As far as armor pieces, the only mandatory pieces are the IK belt and weapon, and the Raekor shoulders. Other than that you can use the best rolled from either Raekor or IK, just make sure you end up with 5 IK pieces and 3 Raekor. As far as gameplay goes, as soon as you start pop WoTB an CoTA and start charging, remember vile ward increases damage for every enemy hit. Once you notice your fury is full, dump it with Boulder toss. The damage you do with the Boulder toss is insignificant, you are just spending fury to reset the cool down on WoTB. I find that dumping fury twice while full will reset the cool down. Make sure both WoTB an CoTA are active at all times, otherwise you won't be doing full damage. I usually save Sprint for elites and the RG. Hitting a single target will always refund a charge , and depending on the amount of CDR you have hitting a certain number of enemies will also refund a charge, I'm not exactly sure what those numbers are, but you can look it up and figure it out. To make sure you never run out of charges, make sure you are hitting 1 enemy, or at least the minimum number of multiple enemies required to refund a charge. Hopefully that makes a little sense.
watch some high tier GR solo push of IK6R4 Charge on youtube to understand how to play the build. it's very different playstyle than IK. here is the current rank 1 clear on nonseason that uses this build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rel_CPhwqEM
Furious Charge is your main source of damage in 6IK + 4R build. You should wear Mortick's and cube Vile Vard. Also make sure you have Standoff and RoRG cubed.
Band of Might with high damage reduction is essential as it lets you survive much more. You should get Flavour of Time to double Pylons duration and CoE for rotating dmg boost.
5IK (weapon + weist are mandatory) + 3R are obvious picks to benefit the sets' bonuses.
BotT, WoL and BotS should be your legendary gems of choice.
In terms of skills, Ancient Spear - Boulder Tass uses whole Fury you have, and Fury spent reduce the CD of WotB and CotA. It'll let you have perma WotB.
Sprint - Marathon, should be used off CD for dmg bonus from cubed Standoff.
Battle Rage - Bloodshed, make sure it's always applied for dmg boost.
CotA - Together as One for 50% damage reduction.
FC and WotB got all the runes applied from 4 pieces of Raekor and Mortick.
I could of miss something, but you should have general clue of what to wear and how to make it works.
If you have any other question, feel free to ask.
Edit: almost forgot, make sure you don't put any Paragon points into Resource Costs Reduction. You want to spend all your Fury with AS for CDR of WotB and CotA.
Wow thank you so much. This will help.
