What weapon

[crue_some]

i am making a whirl wind barb and in every guide ive looked in it says that the axe is better than the sword. the zeker axe is 1 handed so i could have 2 of those. and i think i can hole 1(maybe 2 im not sure if any of u knwo plz tell me) champion axe. so what im asking is waht would be better for a whirl wind barb the 2 zerker axes or the 1 champion axe, unless i can use 2 champion axes i dont knwo what would be better

Champion Ax is two handed, so you could only use one. Are you looking to duel? Because everyone seems to prefer the Collossus Blade over the Bezerker Ax when it comes to BoTD Runewords. My guess is it's because of the range that the CB Swords offer over the Zerker Axes. But thats just my opinion.

yea ill do both though PvP and PvM so champion is better for duel but all around which is better EBOTD axe or sword

Thanks for the help

Uhh..Shield is a nessecity in dueling, so Champion Ax would be a big nono while dueling other melee characters thaty use shields, etc. It might work against other things but...someone with a shield will definately have the advantage over you.

 

[crue_some]

but isnt it usally in dueling when using a WW they cant attack you and with the zerker or champoin EBOTD weapos 1 or 2 WW would usally be enough to kill em

u will need a shield, trust me. Berserker Axe and Colossus Blade have the same range. But Berserker axe have more 1 hand dmg. And with Colossus Blade u can take off shield and get even more dmg. So some ppl would take Botd zerker cus more dmg with shield on. And some would take Colossus Blade becouse u can take shield off when duelling chars like bone necros where shield does nothing.

They have the same range...but more importantly, anyone who uses botd in pvp is a nub

 

[Shadow-Hunter]

can i ask why :S ?

 

[chocofilez]

yeah. last time i checked they kicked ass.

 

[crue_some]

[Guest]

Grief is not always better than eBotD for WW barbs. Here's why:

-BotD offers +30 to all attributes, which is often necessary to offset the high str requirements of armors and high dex requirement for maxed blocking%.
-a base weapon speed of -35 is needed to reach the last WW breakpoint, and since Berserker Axes are 0 to begin with, Grief must add at least 35% IAS.

 

[crue_some]

still what sheild should i use for my barb a ss and wat would be the dex needed for max block

go with a: stormsheild (if you need the 35% dr for max)
b: pheonix monarch (amazingly high amount of damage added)
