Deadly Strike or Open Wounds....?

[darken98_19]

I'm making a pvp wolf barb, and debating whether to socket my griz weap with a Lo or an Um.

With end game gear depending on what I choose to socket the weap with:

Lo:35% Deadly Strike, 68% Open wounds


Um:15% Deadly Strike, 93% Open wounds


I'm just debating what one to go with, any info would be a help.

I say um. Since griz weapon isnt by anymeans a heavy hitting weapon deadly strike wont be as effective.

Go with deadly strike over open wounds (except in certain cases like vs es sorcs) but try to have both above 50%.
And make sure you're hittin the ias breakpoint and not wasting gear on ias that could be used for other things.

I agree, higher DS is better... open wounds is very cool though, but 68% is plenty.

dont look further, drop a Lo rune. OW from gores or darucls is enough, since it doesnt stacks when triggers, and youll be hiting fast enough. Also have in mind, too, Crushing Blow is far better in pvm than DS. Since you cant use guillaems face as helm, for pure pvm a ber rune on caddy will work better than Lo.

Just my 2 cents...
