Oath Eth Balrog Blade for Fury?

[Darth_Vivi]

This is my first druid so I don't really know too much about the weapons yet. The dmg on a perfect eth bb with oath is pretty sweet, 363-779, now the only problem I have is that I'll only have 50 ias, which sucks, I know. And the range is only 3, but Idunno just how much range really matters.

Electric Blue's guide says that 50 ias would leave me with a crappy 9/5. But I checked the calculator stickied above, and it puts it at a 6/4. Now I'm probably reading these wrong, but all I need to know is an Eth Oath BB a viable weapon, or should I just go find something better?

Thanks

[Edit] Oh yeah I forgot, my build is Rabies/Fury.

I give you style points for using a 340% ethereal oath balrog blade. Its a 2 handed sword, base speed 0, with 50 wias, and if you have maxed were wolf, it should come out to. . a 9/6 fury.

9/6 is just to slow for me and a lot of people but if you can live with it you would be doing some nice damage.

9/6 is definately livable. When I first started out with 2 handed fury builds, I was using a cruel Giant thresher of the Lamprey. It was at 9/6 and It didn't really seem all that slow, especially with the nice damage and leech. I use a 9/5 botd gpa now, which in reality isn't all that much faster, but suits my needs better. Plus you will probobly be the only person using one, so style points get added to it as well.

oath eth cryptic is basically the same speed as a botd, has pretty much the same damage as a good eth botd zerker (more if you use a superior eth perfect), and has that really cool spirit chance which you can marrow bug. It also allows the use of a shield.

It really depends I got use to a 6/4 fury on one character and a 4 frame maul on another so going to something like 9/6 makes a big difference.
