whats the goal? fastest kill speed, or are you MFing?

6 isted PB in offhand is usually best for MF.

Phoenix's
Redemption
aura removes corpse , so bad for horking. but if no horking and dont care about MF, then might be fun to play with if youve got the runes and a base to spare..

When I'm not slaying demons, I'm usually out hiking mountains.

OP
Thanks. I use 6 isted pb almost exclusively.

But Iā€™m trying to figure out what would produce the biggest single swing damage for Berzerk.

Thinking that shield would do it. But just not sure.

Hero editor might be a good idea for testing this offline first.

Takes a bit setting up a char if you haven't before, but might be worth it for something that costs a

Damage wise, yeah, Phoenix is baller.

But on a barb of all things...I mean, Phoenix basically instantly disables your
Find Item
skill for good. That's kind of a high price to pay, even if it were the best solution for raw damage.

agreed, totally not worth it if you intend on trav runs.

That idea should be tested on high ppl, imo - because decent Grief + fort is like overkill already. But still - if max swing is needed, then fort + gg Grief + Phoenix, and either a2 might merc with Pride, or a5 merc with dual lastwishes.
Thing is - it works, and you hit hard, but... why? For pvm, it's overkill. For pvp maybe, but I'm not an advisor there.

Iā€™d do you one better,
Wolfhowl
with Beast on swap, wearwolf and
Feral Rage
, with Grief and Phoenix with fort and might merc with Prideā€¦ and
Wisp Projector
for heart of the wolverine tooā€¦although it probably wonā€™t survive long

Anyways it outpaces berzerk, albeit with only physical damage

I use 6 isted
Phase Blade
on mine for the MF

If you do not post an offer on the item and just send me an invite on bnet I probably will not add you.
