Looking for suggestions for pure polearm build barbarian

Exactly, OP speaks specific to Polearm base which the

Whirlwind skill doesn't benefit from (versus mandatory CB).

The single frame limit difference from two handed swords vs fast polearm is that big?

single frame or 25% more hit checks:P

that extra frame = +25% dps (all else being equal)

I’m a stubborn fool. So I’ll

Sacrifice this for the reach.

Last question dear helpful community-
Considering

Thresher over of

Giant Thresher as it’s average dps is 40damage more to it.
Even though range isn’t that showing
14-200~. Vs giant with 40-140~

Am I correct that the average is better than min damage?


And there are others bigger damage weapon with slower speed which I might compensate with items.

Is there a calculator somewhere where I can check how much ias I would need to get max frames? Or table?

When comparing weapons, we generally look at average DPS (damage per second), which consider the weapon/skill speed and weapon average damage.
(if weapons have the same speed - your case, you can look just the average damage )

Giant Thresher avg dmg is a little higher

Giant Thresher is 77 -> (40+114) / 2

Thresher is 76.5 -> (12+141) / 2

But remember that

Giant Thresher has more range (+4 x +1) which can make difference for some builds/playstyle.
On the other hand

Thresher requirements are lower (so more points to Vitality if self use and Merc can use it on lower levels)

Giant Thresher is best choice because of range, and similar average dps..

You literally have the information you need in the database on this very site you're posting on. Just search for the weapon bases in the databas search in the upper right. Why ask ChatGPT?

Or easier, when somebody typed the name of item correctly (and a icon appear in front of the text), it is a link to the item page . And hover the mouse over it shows a "resumed details"

Giant Thresher

because i didn't think to use the filters, and i wanted to test GPT reliability. and the website is still too slow to my taste. however great it is.
the query was what is fastest elite weapon polearm, and most damage, and only use from diablo2.io
and he was wrong ...the little cunt
