What Weapon For Death & Beast Runeword

[Americano]

Im currently making a frenzy barb, got all the runes for Death and Beast but not very sure on which weapon to socket them with.

Is Ettin axe the way to go? eth ettin for death and regular for beast. 5 s eth zerker is too rare :(

Or is there any weapon i should use instead of ettin or zerker?

I asume you are using axe mastery(beast can be made in axe (not sword or mase ...)best choise would be beserker axe it has highest dmg and range,also if you going pvm only make death in eth beserker axe,also the ettin axe is a good choice.If you are going pvp dont waste your runes on death make grief or botd in beserker axe.

Eth Zerker is pretty much out of my budget =/

And yea im using for PvM mainly ubers

Will there be a performace gap in Eth Zerker And Eth Ettin? Cause they seem to have a 10 speed difference. If the performance gap is big, i might as well save up longer and get a Eth Zerker. Or there isn't much difference between them.

well i'm no expert on barb vs ubers,

i mean death +botd on colossus blade was good enough for my old barb during 1.10 to get organs but if you are doing tristram i am not sure if this combo will work well,you will have to have a lot of ar.I heard ppl use lowbringer runeword ,it is pretty cheap, it has nice mode-sanctuary aura,which keeps some of the minions away while you are dealing with mephisto,baal,diablo,but i have never tryed it...:xmas31: :xmas23: :xmas7:

for frenzy the choice of ettin base for either runeword won't be a big problem because you can place a death ettin in your off-hand where weapon speed doesn't matter while putting a beast in your main hand

lawbringer isn't necessary for tristram, that's what howl is for

yeah an eth zerker is better than an eth ettin but there is not a huge difference i think speed and general 1 hand dmg is the difference i think it would be better for u to get a eth zerker.

Also they look cooler :xmas17:

edit..

Lawbringer is a waste of time as Omikron8 said all u have to do is use howl to keep minnions away
