So I'm bored during quarantine and decided to play some single player and want to try my hand at a barb since I never play them. I think I'm gonna do frenzy so here comes the age old question... what weapons? I guess I'm looking more for your preference on swords vs axes vs maces etc. Not like grief vs botd
Thanks and hope everybody is staying safe

Well, if you ask me, I would with axes or maces. Much more potential weapon drops as for the swords early (up to end of NM). The only sword being good enough from uniques is headstriker.
From lower RWs there isn't also anyting cool for swords.
My whole point stands if you play with selffound gear ofc.

Most people get butchers or headstriker off andynm. Both can carry you through hell once upped. There arent really other useful nm drops.
Maybe black 'knouts'

Yea playing offline single player untwinked etc so I wont even have access to much of the higher runes/runewords. And even if I find the runes, things like grief arent available to me anyways



Thank you

Basicly any weapon that you come across early game. Can be 3x ral swords, steel, strength, malice etc. Make a knout/flail black to farm andy nm. Grind her until you got butchers/headstrikers. Aldurs could also carry you to meph nm. There it's them for more grind for weapons and/or gface etc. Then in early hell you could try to push to LK for grief's otherwise just upgrade your butchers/headstrikers. eOath is a solid choice too.

Good luck!

More valuable info! Thanks! And sadly no grief because I'm playing single player. And I'm gonna just try to save my points instead of putting any into masteries for now.

Any other lower runewords you guys find worth making? Maybe stealth armor?

This right here.

always love a mace barb. plus the inherit bonus damage to undead is awesome

I also want to make a frenzy

Do it! I tried making ww barb ages ago but stopped playing. Figured I'd give frenzy a shot this time
