Indeed. Not to mention the deadly strike and rep life. Not sure why you mention life leech either - safe to say you will not need the leech to clear normal blood moor for duels.

You shouldn't be using either weapon though. 6sox 15ed naga with 2x shaels and 4x 20ed 15max dmg jewels is much better.

Eth Bloodletter + Honor Zwe is a surprisingly effective setup for ladder chars, but on NL it's not going to cut it.

Honestly even the old prepatch executioner swords are not tier 2 compared to eth/rep nagas. They could hit some bps easily and are stylish as all hell but not on par anymore.

Just dont fall into the trap of buying an overpriced eth/rep naga with ele dmg. People think its going to be better than a 60ias 3x 20-15 naga but with mdr bug it might be way worse or on par, but 10x the price.

that MDR bug is a bitch but you can overcome it with crit for sure. its the min rolls that fuck you over :(

i can play with that calc a bit, having X# of scs and both throw weps with xxlight dmg would help. since its 1-xx u need to stack up sources to get a decent min hit of light to counter mdr.

Is it really worth pushing lightning damage at the cost of max dmg?

I thought it was 50, egg on my face if its 40. tbh i've never built a "robo" for a 30 ww barb. i've had old exes for too long haha

I was thinking fine small charms of thunder, 3max / 20 ar / 1-10 light dmg charms. but i'd have to play with the calcs a bit to see how many would make a difference in MDR calcs. mdr bug just hits really hard when you have no light dmg javas or charms and only get 2-24 light dmg from 2x sojs

it's a bit different concept than my shocker, where i used 20 ave dmg 1-40 light dmg jewels in all sockets, because u get light dmg from hshock ofc and i just wanted to max my high rolls. this would be more about finding a min balance where u can avoid MDR bug vs some builds, but i should say that avoiding it vs opponents with vmagi/string is impossible imo. but can still be mitigated a bit. then everything needs to be doubled in terms of effect more or less given a build thats aiming for max crit.

ted asked me about the build a while ago and i had a hard time figuring out how i'd balance it. if you can get some native rolls of light dmg it helps a lot on the min end tho, i'll see if i can dig up the calcs i made for some actual numbers
