Guys, I really need some good advice. What is the main characteristics for a good MH weapon? High dps? 1200plus with a socket or what? Double crit? IAS important on a MH?
high dps (1200 ish for a 1h, 1600 for a 2h)
frost damage (for the slow)
strength
attack speed
80%+ crit damage (180+ for 2h)
lifesteal
socket
Depending on the rest of your gear, having str, crit damage, and a socket would be decent if they are in your price range, but the item i mentioned above would be well over 2 billion easily. If you are a WW barb, IAS is nice to have, but I dont run any, and hardly notice any difference.
Ah, iv'e never seen something as beautiful as my example, so I was just citing what would be near perfect. In that case, replace the cold damage with % chance to slow/freeze imo.
if you can get 1200 dps without attack speed that would be better too. a mace would be the best because it has the slowest attack speed (compared to axe, both have the best weapon master bonus) which guarantees a high damage range, which is important for tornados.

Doh, I had thought attack speed was good for tornado ticks, have I been mistaken on this? So does a MH want IAS or no IAS?
He probably meant better for your wallet rather than better overall. Ideally you want both crit damage and IAS with a socket, but it is ridiculously expensive.
