which weapons should I use for stict pvm. will be doing ww and frenzy

grief pb + Lastwish PB
grief pb + ebotdcb
Lastwishpb+ebotdcb

ps will have faith bow merc

Does the Crushblow from LW work with ww?
If so wouldn't that be better with the might aura+cb+high raw damage of ebotdcb be better than the +damage from a grief?

Yes.

Grief pb + grief pb. Hands down. Nothing else comes even close.

LW is a terrible weapon. Don't use it. It's slow and deals no damage. You have guilli helm and gores for CB and those add to your both weapons, unlike on-weapon CB.

And even a lowest possible grief pb deals more damage than totally perfect ebotd. Botd just doesn't cut it unless you make it into some big and 2handed, gpa for example. But that obviously is out for a frenzy barb.

Also there's no reason to use faith merc with dual grief pbs. They are so fast you do not need the ias. You are better off with an act2 might merc (with reapers toll if you are using enigma and prolly pride if you are using forty).

Have you ever played a pvm barb? Those weapons will break and they will break so fast it will drive you nuts in notime. Also, you should NEVER actually hit anything with a beast in pvm. Leave the pvp stuff for pvp.

With enigma eth reapers would be MUCH better merc weapon. It can double your total physical damage, and that is HUGE. Decrep going all over the place is awesome for safety aswell.

@dw_darkwarrior i'm not using axe or anything else except pb because as TheBe said they will break fast as well pvm.

ya I saw that decrep...ok got it then might merc with eth reaper...was going to make a doom out of my eth 5 os thresher I have but decrep sounds a lot better...

griefpb/griefpb

Do you think Gface is necessary? I'll be using gores and finding some 20/10 gloves

Nothing beats guilli imo. And nothing comes even close.

Loh > all other gloves. HUGE ed vs demons (~third of all monsters and bosses) and nice res. Awesome gloves.
