Never Played barb before.
I am on singleplayer .
What would be the beste Weapon combi?
Double Grief?
Thought about using one grief with another RW weapon to make for chronicle.
Is there anything worth using compared to Double grief when it comes To damage and clear Speed?
Thank you

Double grief pb is the best for general use. I would consider using Azurewrath in the offhand in chaos sanctuary, Pindle, tombs, and other areas with large numbers of undead.

Sanctuary aura ignores undeads resistance and immunities, plus gives you a nifty 420%-510% damage to undead, letting you cut through them like butter. Downside is it has cold damage so corpses can shatter if you’re horking.

Okay thank you.
So botd and death are not an Option?

I think pb is the best base for ias bp and indestructable, But for style to go on berserker axe for pve. How does that change the ias bp? And do i have to repair so often that it really makes only Sense for pvp?

You can absolutely use BotD and death, but the ias can be rough for eDeathZ:

IAS FPA
0 7
2 6
20 5
63 4

That’s a lot, and makes gear choices and sockets awkward, especially if you want Fcr gear for enigma. Though, eBotdZ only needs 3ias because of its natural 60.

You don’t want a Grief in a zerker for PvM, you’ll be visiting your local armorer before whatever run you’re working on is done, and again after. It’ll get old quick.

Try double grief and dreadfang on your a5 bash merc. The amp is so good on anything when it casts.

Also if you get an harder pack use a random body and drop a Grimward it also gives you like 100% dmg and 50% enemy slow.
