Which base is better?

For a Barbarian,which one is better for Grief, Colossus Blade or Phase Blade? And I'm asking for one more advice,which combat skill is more efficient with Grief?
I'm asking,coz never used it before thnks in advance for ur helpful comments.

Phase Blade, Its faster, and never breaks. Also extremely flexible, as it allows you to pass it around if needed.

This, and exactly this. Phase Blade has no durability to be lost.

Overall choice is Phase Blade - fastest n most versatile.
But if it is exclusively for barbarian - two other choices (mostly aesthetical) are there as well:
1) Zweihander - even at 30% ias roll, gives you 4frame ww. All you need here is high dmg roll;
2) Colossus Blade - seasoned and wealthy barb choice To hit 4frame ww, requires 39-40% ias roll - which is much less roll-friendly. But if it is 39-40 ias and decent dmg roll - there's your no.1 barb weapon - solid-looking and deadly (also costly).

Both swords have 50 durability - more than enough for comfortable gameplay (unlike 26 at zerker Axe). Just make sure you have non-superior base - to minimize the repair cost (non-sup are pretty cheap to fix).

Ty for ur reply,just confused by ur comparison of ias between two items,they r both Fast in plain and 20% makes them very fast,how the ww hit frames differs?
This question isn't a counter reply,just been curious about it.

Phase Blade base speed is -30 (very fast) where the Colossus Blade base speed is 5 (average/slower). Zweihander is -10, slower than the Phase Blade but faster than Colossus Blade.

I got this,I hope it works
