Weapon dilemma

[gyrafalcon]

I'm planning on making an MF barb, but I'm stuck on what wep to make/give him. I'm debating between a BOTD and a grief. Any opinions? I'm under the impression that grief has a greater damage output, but I don't really want to be bothered with repairing it every game like I am with my smiter's grief. Thanks in advance.

What about Tombreaver?

If your planning on doin the killing and those were the 2 choices, I'd go botd.
I have both, and I find no big issue between the 2 pvm wise. However, the damage + Leach + indestructability, keeps you attacking longer and allows you
to leave all the rest of your armour/jewelry slots open for MF items exclusively.

I don't want to go 2hander cubbie, i like a shield xD:
Thanks for ur info Barloc. So if I were to go botd, any suggestions as to zerker vs CB?

[Barloc]

zerker is technically better. higher damage, better speed (ebotdz + 1 x 15%ias any item will hit next to the last breakpoint with berzerk/conc) and lower requirements. Plus more characters can use it since BA is a single handed weapon= better trade in value$$$. Of course CB works fine if feel you must use!

[gyrafalcon]

wats the range difference between the two?

[Barloc]

no difference- both are 3 (even tho sword looks longer graffically)

[gyrafalcon]

cool, thanks a lot barloc. seems like im settled on a ebotd zerker xD
