Deathforge is better after socketing:
Quest reward:
26 STR = 52 AP
26 AGI is about 0.82% crit
compare to Deathforge:
22 STR = 44 AP (inferior)
20 Crit rating is about 0.90% crit (superior)
put a 6 STR gem in the red socket and anything in the blue and you are up to:
28 STR = 56 AP (directly superior)
Ooops, I missed that there were 2 sockets on the Deathforge belt. That definately makes it superior.
On another note, when I hit 68 I ended up grabbing Rampage to "see" how it works. What I've found is that I'm refreshing it with 5-10sec left on the timer to keep it up and not have wait for a crit to start re-gaining the x5 stack. I haven't extensively tested it out to see if my DPS is higher when I keep it up versus waiting for it to run out and then start over. I'm just guessing that it'll be higher if I don't let expire.
I'm currently running about 1050AP and 17% crit and find I've got enough rage in general to BT every CD and fit in a Rampage or WW between. I don't use HS unless I've gotten several crits in a row and I'm swimming in rage since the loss of rage on next hit sucks.
