Should I keep my BoneSnap Maul . . .

**TDurden** · 23-09-2009, 16:35

Greetings - After killing Baal in Normal mode, Baal dropped the BoneSnap Maul

I'm wondering if I should keep it for Baal and other nasty Bosses since it takes up so much space . . . but it has the 40% chance crushing blows.

Considering that my build is around Frenzy, and staying in Baal's face seems a good strategy (one I stumbled on through dumb luck), thereby negating his devastating ranged attacks, I wonder if using the speed inherent in Frenzy will be successful in fighting Hell Baal as in Normal Baal.

Ya'll other seasoned Barbarian's . . . please help me with this decision.

Thanks, TDurden

I had one for a while on my barb.... eh it was ok. I vendored it though once I found a Hellslayer.

It's a good weapon for normal. If you plan on doing nightmare soon you can always upgrade it to an exceptional weapon type with the cube or even better trade for a bloodtree stump which is a really good weapon. Shouldn't cost many pgems either way.

The main WW weapons I use on my barb (hellslayer is on backup... too slow needs a shael) is a BK's SC paired with a Swordguard... not fantastic I know but it works rather well for where I'm at with a lvl 76. I've got the barb's stash filled up with other goodies like a Baranar Star and a Fleshrender... stuff that I probably won't use soon (wouldn't dual-wielding Baranar's be cool?) but can't bring myself to get rid of.

It is a good weapon for new, young barbs working through Normal. Even the beginning of NM. I keep one or two on mules for use someday. Or my kid borrows them.

but it's good for classic diablo 2 right? should i use it until i get a 150% martel, or should i just stick with it untile lvl 90+.It still kills pretty well in act 4 hell 1 player games^^.
