Sword, because I got a 403 ebotd CB in a trade for two Echoing javelins and Couldn't care less about getting an equivalent Berserker.

Well, I could, but I'm just too lazy.

*wants to select everything*
i made several barbs with a sword
got 2 barbs with an axe
got 2 IK barbs
got 1 with a polearm
got 1 with a spear

they're all great fun (except IK)

The only Barbarian I've made in 1.10 is WW IK Barb. Very effective in PvM.

The axe, as usual, as it is the best 1h weapon in the game.

Axe....Grief 36ias +370 :xman:

havent tried it out yet, but i hope the result is good... or else i'll just make a 10 smiter...though i really prefer a wwbarb..

I am sry tp disappoint u but the +dmg is not added to the axe base dmg, it is just written o na rw,, this mean if u socket a greaf rw in a ba it will still have 71 max dmg, and not 471 if perfect, but i didnt try it how this is calculated on a ww dmg, any1 can help us out?

& calculating dmg isnt hard

example for max dmg :
total ed bonus = ed from mastery + ed from ww + ed on armory + str
total max dmg = max dmg on weapon * ( 1 + ( total ed bonus / 100 ) )

for 415% eth botd ba its easy to know max dmg, 545, for grief ba, well, some ppl think the 71 dmg is used & some ppl say 471 is used (if grief adds 400dmg)

so i'm gonna check dmg it does in pvp

*edit*
k, testing done
+ dmg on grief is applied before all dmg bonusses giving better dmg than eth botd ba

eBotD zerker for effectiveness (and other melee chars can use it)

eBotD colossus blade for nostalgia and coolness factor

i'd go with axe because of the speed....

however i used to use a sword because i thought range was more importnat or sumthing like that; i dont know why i used a botd cb....

What? I can't even choose staves... :xeek:

But seriously, my favourite ww'ing weapon by far is the Ribcracker. Especially since mace mastery workes on staves. An ebotd Archon staff would rule as well, so few requirements for so much damage and speed.

xpumafangx
26-12-2004, 17:16
Too bad ebotd achron staff does not get the last break point for ww. I do think it would work better on another build. Like a max life build of some sort.

volrath aka A_A_F
27-12-2004, 03:47
the archon still works very very nicly with ww =) 18 str req is just sexy 600-700 damage cant go wrong with it ;)

392% ebotd gaint thresher. Style > all.

Also use lvl 1 ww on my duel schaffer {frenzy} barb sometimes... Even that looks cooler than you all and your itty bitty axe's. :lol:

ebotd CB and ...

wait for it..

+2 WW/+3 SM Bloodletter. (he's dual wield :) )

Style points for the big sword/little sword look. :)

anyone tried using ebotd war pike? Not sure if its as cool as the GPA.. cos I found one of those and I'm thinking of making it into a ebotd.. advice anyone? whether it reaches last bp of WW?

Halciet
28-12-2004, 04:07
No, it doesn't; that's why no one uses it over the GPA.

ive had many ww barbs before, and the one i had the most fun was tomb reaver, so polearm it is.

-Halnot true :p
i've seen lots of ppl use or think about use it & then i told them why gpa would be a lot better & they didnt believe me, said it had too low dmg to be used on a barb :s
only 1 guy so far could actually understand why speed is more important than dmg on weapon choise & he rebuild his barb & had loads of fun with it :D

Halciet
28-12-2004, 12:00
Revision: that's why no one with working knowledge of integrated systems within the game uses it over the GPA.

axes all the way! me thinks ghost spear be better than gpa if you use it as your second weapon choice! it has the same range/sockets/dmg but higher dex prereq than str(as oposed to gpa) which is nice since you'll pump up dex for block anyhow, and you loose much str when enigma/ss/arreat is removed!
