At the moment I have a 5os Eth CS but I have heard that an Eth Dimensional blade is better for the runeword. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be helpful.

Btw this is for a frenzy offhand (I use grief mainhand) I have about 35 IAS in items not including the weps.

IMO CBs are best because they are a little faster than a CS. AFAIK the base weapon type influences frenzy speed, even when it's used as a secondary weapon. I'm not entirely sure about this, however.

A dimensional blade is an exceptional weapon. I don't see a reason why a frenzy barb should use it instead of a CB.

What is your grief in?

If you ask in the barb forum you'll likely get more and higher quality responses.

Off-hand weapon speed matters.

I like cbs better due to their faster base weapon speed.

Use this (http://diablo2.ingame.de/tips/calcs/weaponspeed.php?lang=english) weapon speed calculator.

While I agree that a CB would be slightly better, I think it'd take more time than it's worth to actually find one that's ethereal and has 5 holes in it. Hence my brief response (guess I should've explained my reasoning a bit).
