Ok so im back on d2. Decided i want to make a ww barb, cos a friend wants to make a frenzy one. Ive done ALOT of research and narrowed it down. I want mass damage. However, id like it if the barb could be a little succesful at pvp. Having said that, ive got a couple of choices. All i need advice on is what weapon to use, and thus, what mastery to focus on.
First of all, i ruled out a ebotd tmaul. Why? Range is only 3, attack speed = very slow, dmg is 33-180. Compared to a war pike, which has a range of 5, attack speed = very slow, dmg is 33-178. The warpike has almost identical dmg but has a better range, same attack speed. So an ebotd warpike is one of my choices.
Second, instead of a war pike, i could use a great poleaxe. A great poleaxe also has a range of 5, dmg = 46-127 which is less than war pike, but attack speed is normal, which is alot faster than a war pike.
Finally, instead of the 2h botd weapons war pike or great poleaxe, i could dual wield beserker axes, with any of the runewords beast, grief, doom, etc. Probably beast+grief. I know using these weapons wield less damage, 24-71, and they only have a range of 3, but they attack a hell of a lot faster; attack speed is fast. Ive also heard that this weapon combination is more successful in pvp.
Do polearm/spear ww barbs always get owned in pvp? Or do they do ok due to the mass damage they put out??
Any input/help would be much appreciated, thanks.
xoxo
