im still debating whether to use a Beast ettin axe or zerker axe..
what is the difference in these 2 axes for a frenzy barb?

id highly suggest zerker because it has 3 range instead of 2. this isnt a huge deal in pvm but if u ever decide to sell the beast , no one will buy a ettin.

Berserker axe is also faster, Beast BA will hit last ww breakpoint while Ettin won't. BA is much better investment.

Personally, I would choose Berserker Axe. If you don't care about the range and you know you will reach the same breakpoint, then use Ettin Axe. Just know that the resale value is VERY low.

1. Range for Frenzy barb means squat
2. Ettin Does more damage than Zerker
3. With Fanata aura ettin easily hits 5fpa. This Frenzy not WW
4. Yes Zerker has much better trade value

Wrong. If your secondary weapon has shorter range than primary you can easily miss ~50% of hits.

Ettin still has a range of 2, so the Frenzy bug will not be very dominant. Of course, with 40% IAS a Beast is also a likely weapon for the primary weapon slot, which eliminates the bug altogether when having a BA as other weapon.
