Poor man's Frenzy viable?

[Noite Escura]

I've bever made a frenzy barb and I was frustrated with Whirlwind's perfomance on LoD,soI was thinking about going for a change this ladder. Will I be able to make frenzy work with, let's say, Runemasters or Uped Butcher's Pupil?

[MYK]

Pure Melee Via physical attacks on the untwink is really really tough.

If you can afford Runemasters you'll have no problem. Leveling up with a pair of regular Butchers is really powerful.

So...yes. Totally viable.

I've used butchers for frenzy and they work real well - until you get to hell. You will need to upgrade at that point.

[Skinhead On The MBTA]

Definitely viable - I've done it with Baranar's Star and Cranebeak, and I used Butcher's Pupil for a while in Hell as well.

The two weapons you mentioned should be fine.
