I'm building a PvP frenzy barb and have a few quesitons:

1. I plan on dual-wielding the Grief runeword...My choice is between Berzerker Axes and Phase Blades. I found the "Weapon Speed Calculator" linked in the Barb Build Guides thread, but it yields strange results with the Frenzy skill. Namely, it shows my attacks per second at 5, while displaying that I still need x% IAS to reach 5. Anyway, what IAS breakpoints do I need to hit with Frenzy level 20 (both BA and PB, assuming 30-40% weapon IAS)?

2. Does the increased range of Berzerker Axes have any bearing on my weapon selection?

3. How does the "Leap" skill function during PvP? Is the stun length sufficient at level 20 to warrent getting the skill?

ThanX!

Mmm. Dunno about the IAS, but IMO you should use BA's.

2. Does the increased range of Berzerker Axes have any bearing on my weapon selection?

Well, it's up to you, BA=more hits, less running.

3. How does the "Leap" skill function during PvP? Is the stun length sufficient at level 20 to warrent getting the skill?

It stuns at a certain range. lvl 19 after all +skills is ~full screen but no corners, ~22= corners too, a little bit over the screen.
