Psychotic decides to use an imbue.....


Not bad, but his helm is better


A nice shield in the shop, but psychotic does not know how to use such things

Psychotic claims this throne of skulls as his own....


Holy f**k!!!!!!!! Psychotic finds a LO rune!!!!!!! He only needs a ral and a 5os sword to make grief!!!!! The blood gods are with him


Psychotic says f**k oath and will forge himself the most powerful weapon in the world...... he thinks he'll make it in zweihander perhaps

Good to see you back. And there are rewards! I know people like putting it in zweihander but why? I answered it myself, guess it's faster and not that much lower on average damage...lower reqs. And grief is all about damage added.

You should refresh our memory on what you use these days, rageboy.

Well, you'd be well served by using a higher average damage two handed sword but zweihander makes sense too. Titans might use CS or CB...I said might use! Your just a 'strong' dude with high rage factor.

But speedwise, on a CB you'd need 130 off wep speed to get max ias bp (on 30 ias grief). Zweihander only needs 70 off wep speed to get to max ias bp (with 30ias grief.) CS never achieves max bp. Makes good 'raging horse sense' using Zweilander. Hope you get high grief.

You have some good shit there. Forgot about Havoc Cowl helm.

Research on Zweihander:
"The About this sound Zweihänder (help·info) (German for "two hander", also called Two handed sword, Montante, Great sword, Bidenhänder, Schlachtschwert[1] or Bihänder), is a two-handed sword primarily of the Renaissance. It is a true two-handed sword because it requires two hands to wield, unlike other large swords that are wielded with two hands but can also be wielded with one.[2]

The Zweihänder swords develop from the longsword of the Late Middle Ages and they became a hallmark weapon of the German Landsknechte from the time of Maximilian I (d. 1519) and during the Italian Wars of 1494–1559. The Goliath Fechtbuch (1510) shows an intermediate form between longsword and Zweihänder

A transition to two handed long swords seems to have been introduced by the Swiss with their "Zweyhändler" during their wars in Italy, Burgundy and the Holy Roman empire. First mention being 1420 and the concept being picked up by the Italians in their thrusting designs.[3]

These swords represent the final stage in the trend of increasing size that started in the 14th century. In its developed form, the Zweihänder has acquired the characteristics of a polearm rather than a sword. Consequently, it is not carried in a sheath but across the shoulder like a halberd. By the second half of the 16th century, these swords had largely ceased to have a practical application, but they continued to see ceremonial or representative use well into the 17th century. Some ceremonial zweihänder, called "bearing-swords" or "parade-swords" (Paratschwert) were much larger and weighed about 10 pounds (4.5 kg).[4]"

No more than a cut and paste wiki quote....But clearly wikipedia doesn't know about barbarians as they can use Zw as one handed wep with small penalty....still, I recommend slinging it over the back when not in use.

edit: but pb only needs 15 off wep speed to reach the legendary bp of 2.77 attacks per sec with a 30ias grief. I'm not doing the math. But what is better for zerker, fort/coh or grief?

I decided to use a zweihander because it's the fastest base 2h sword that you can make grief in..... psychotic only uses 2 handers :)

Definitely would like to make a fort, but that would require another LO, not sure psychotic's luck is that good

He's hoping to find a gface or LOH gloves, these will make him a force to be reckoned with

Psychotic found this while searching for his Ral rune


A new bo weapon for psychotic, eventually he will get 2x bo swords, but this will do for now


A few pit runs later psychotic finds what he is looking for .........

He doesn't test his luck with the cube, instead he travels to the nightmare dimension to ensure that it gets the sockets he needs


Psychotic's grief roll, he is happy that the ias is at least 35, but it rolled almost anti perf dmg, oh well it is still a formidable weapon, psychotic will put it to good use..... his end game weapon


Psychotic now kills with great speed!

Items he would like to find still:
gface or arreats
LOH gloves
gores
highlords
another raven

Ofc, why do a feasibility study on zw vs pb if you find zw and have a socket quest and have been dying to find an upgraded wep....no sir. My unofficial druid found this too:



nn socket quest ;)

Gl, looking forward to act 2 and above.
