any tweeks? i want to make one, they own pretty well, except they cost ALOT because of doom... usually in a zerker...

going to have a pathetic swing speed with a doom weapon

[bobofuzzlymunky]

zerkers have nice speed...

[Omikron8]

base 0 speed

only 45% IAS on the weapon

non-weapon IAS doesn't help a wolfbarb's attack speed

go check out zero-unit's wolfbarb guide for an idea of just how slow you will be swinging

also use highlords as ammy, mara's doesn't belong on any kind of barb except a singer

[peterpaulrubens]

zerkers have nice speed...

base speed matters much less in wereform than on-weapon IAS.

With a barb in wolf form, you're looking at a 10-frame attack with Doom.

Try this calc.

At the risk of a highjack, what is the best one handed weapon then? If you can, give an expensive option and a cheap one? Thanks.

[Omikron8]

4x shael griz caddy
shael stormlash
shael ribcracker
botd phase blade
grief phase blade

[rolling stoned]

what about an eth oath bb? it has 60ias on the weapon

[Omikron8]

too slow

not enough damage for its speed

I have a pvm wolfbarb using Doom and Beast, I got around 3k max damage with a might merc.

Its working well for pvm and sometimes I join random duel game and survive quite some hit. People don't like the holyfreeze for duel tho.

I think you should make that doomwolf barb.

Yeath a wolf barb and I use Beast and switch between a Doom and Botd.
True you will get peaple moaning at you , but then again they allways do what ever the situation :P
