i never had a Destruction but i am curious about it. Apart from the cost, which at this opint is not n issue, it seems fun to mess around with that, with those chaotic procs it does. I have a nice perfect superior Colossus Sword that would make a sweet base for it. I will mainly use it as a Frenzy/ww barb offhand.
Anyone tried it and wants to share some advice on how it actually is to play with it?

I'd wager it could actually be kinda cute on a Fury druid. Combined with a Faith merc and/or soon Hustle, you can push the attack speed and by extension proc rates pretty hard all while maxing out the synergies for both druid procs. Could add up to at least not be terrible.
On a barb though..you won't have any synergies for anything so the procs are inherently fairly useless and mainly ultimately cosmetic as a cool factor. And beyond that, you'll only get them on Frenzy as WW doesn't proc any on striking and the like.
In terms of performance, you'd probably get far more out of a Grief for a fraction of the cost.
In terms of style..could still be fun. And it does have 350 ED (albeit not indestructible so no Eth) and crushing and such so it certainly isn't bad so to speak..you can def still kill stuff with it.
That has to be the worst designed runeword in the entire game. Somebody was high when they made this. It's a mid-level runeword at best priced higher than an Infinity. None of those procs will do squat for damage.
It's even weirder that such an RW has been introduced in 1.10, together with synergies. It could have served its purpose when there were no synergies in the game, but with them (or rather without) the procs are useless.

it s not about dmg or performance, i m just curious, never seen one
true that for ww barb is totally useless since no procs, seems hard t maximize all the synergies with a Fury druid, too many points needed
it really is for cosmetics, dmg is not that bad after all, enhanced damage is nice, too bad for no indestructibility
to me it seems a decent dmg weapon with lot of funny useless procs, just for the fun of seeing some mayhem while playing

this pair Destruction + Phoenix (on Phase Blade) and + Dragon on armor , for Frenzy barb gives more interesting cast on striking and struck
merc gets InfinityDragonDream
this is more a fan build than a useful one
when there is absolutely nowhere to put the runes

I wouldn t go for Atma frankly, i d stick to highlords.
I should do the math for attack speed because i d rather craft Phoenix in a colossus something or some other base for better looks and maybe a bit if phys dmg too

to reach max attack speed with 45% ias from this setup and dual Colossus Sword at level 31 Frenzy or Phase Blade + Colossus Sword at lvl 6 Frenzy, according to warren calculator, i would need a nice Fanaticism aura from act 1 merc with Faith (maybe i could give him a DreamHelm over iased andy)
so not sure what woud be best, without too many in depth calcs as this is clearly just a showmanship equipment, lower attack speed with Infinity or max attack speed with Fanaticism (and cool dual Colossus Sword instead of ugly blue stick)

Actually had me curious..it is quite silly, just how many procs you can throw into a single build:
Using an assa example there with >7 attacks per second so the amount of stuff going off at any given moment should be delightfully insane. And yet, the damage from all of it is just..negligible.
1. and we say from the very beginning that this is more fun than destructive, the main damage of course will come from Phys Frenzy, and it in combination with Infinity will be impressive
2. I wouldn't be too happy about the aura of Fanaticism 15 lvl have a range of 17.3 for barbarian Frenzy it's very not enough, you will spend little time under it, and when the archer mercenary reaches you with her or teleports to you, by that time you will have already gained the highest speed yourself thanks to Frenzy, so you need to take the initial ias to "get hot"
all the stories about the mercenary from the first act are people who did not use it themselves, I once collected Faith and got a level 15 aura, I played for 10 minutes, it was enough for me to understand that it was worse than an Arab with a stick and Pride. Fanaticism is good for everyone, bad is its small area of action. People here are divided into 2 categories:
а) who does not pay attention to it
and
b) who is annoyed by it, and he takes an Arab with Pride or Infinity (if we are talking about this build)
I belong to the second
also in this build Infinity is like a very mandatory thing and not Faith, forget fanatism merc act 1 - its no good

Well, first of all i don t have Infinity but i actually use act 1 merc with Faith in couple with my former tesladin to reach max attack speed with Last Wish and i always found it useful, true is that since i switched to double aura and left Enigma and Last Wish for Dragon and hoj i don t swing my weapon that much anymore so without Teleport i can t swear on how many times i loose the aura for being far from the rogue but i am sure happy with that in a real battle situations, i usually managed to keep her alive in Tristram and always benefit from the aura. It is true tho that a frenzied barb has a mobility which could make the merc just being too far quite often, almost always i d say, but i fail to see how lvl 12 Conviction from Infinity could not have the same issue.
Anyway if no Fanaticism the choice will be forced to a Phase Blade to be able to reach a decent attack speed, not max but should be close, 11 fpa instead of 10
