Frenzy Barb Dream

[Darksin]

This is going to sound kinda weird but i fell alseep last night thinking about some different weapon combinations for my frenzy barb. When I woke up i had a sudden urge to put my two greif phase blades on my frenzy barb. I did and i must say that this combination works fairly well up to act 2 in hell. I only know act 2 because thats all the further i have gotten with him. Do you think this combination will be any good in the later acts or will i just be wasting my time?

Should be no diff than a greif zealer.. they do fine in a4 and a5 hell.. get some ele dmg charms to take on the phys immunes.. or just leave them alone..

K good thank you. Im just trying to make sure that im not going crazy lol

well since ur obivously useing swords no beast, so id say maybe try a lastwishpb for the arua, it also comes with nice crushing blow lol, but i do think greifz + beastz would be better cause of the arua for more ias,

Death BA is also a very nice option for a PvM Frenzy barb.

Death BA is also a very nice option for a PvM Frenzy barb.

what makes death so great for pvm? i mean i used to have 1 and used it a bit, but really the only nice mods on it were 20% to AR, but thats aboutt he only thing, it has 50cb and deadly strike well deadlystrike its .5 per lvl so higher than 40 after 80 which is nice , but the those are the only 3 things really notable on it
death stats are
100% Chance To Cast Level 44 Chain Lightning When You Die
25% Chance To Cast Level 18 Glacial Spike On Attack
Indestructible
+300-370% Enhanced Damage (varies)
20% Bonus To Attack Rating
+50 To Attack Rating
Adds 1-50 Lightning Damage
7% Mana Stolen Per Hit

+(0.5 per Character Level) 0.5-49.5% Deadly Strike (Based on Character Level)
+1 To Light Radius
Level 22 Blood Golem (15 Charges)
Requirements -20%

another great option is death cleaver lol, although its more of a pvp weapon

death cleaver stats are
+230-280% Enhanced Damage (varies)
+40% Increased Attack Speed
-33% Target Defense
66% Deadly Strike
+6-9 Life After Each Kill

WW barbs cannot use Death because it has no on weapon IAS%, therefore WWs with it are hopelessly slow. On the other hand, the CB% and AR%, etc work miracles in PvM with Frenzy (increases attack speed) and obviously it's got nice damage and the DS is godly. I'm not a barb expert, but imo with such mods, if it has 40%IAS, people would use it over Beast.

eDC is only for PvP and is mainly gosu because of the DS.

not too sure i said anything about using death for ww imo i used it for frenzy, but watever lol

That was my point, it's a nice weapon, but not used often due to the lack of IAS on it.
