you're forgetting to add the ed from lvl 20 conc aura from pride merc, 350 ed from loh gloves, any +skills merc may have on (+4 from coh and andy gives +4 to might) and forgeting to use multiple charms since the maxers scale better. I ran the numbers on maxroll and 10 maxers give higher dps than masteries. If you add a phoenix shield on there the difference becomes even greater. If you use 14 maxers the difference is even more.

That was assuming only using 7 grand charms as well since most will leave space for drops. the difference gets greater with 9 GCs

Correct, my mistake, damn jsp and are you human blah come out when I typed up the whole thing.

1000 min / 1500 max (wpn dmg example includes Berserk)
3500 min / 3500 max (1000% x 350 Added damage from grief)
4500 min / 5000 max total

1000 min / 1600 max (wpn dmg including Berserk & +10 max dmg GC)
3500 min / 3500 max (1000% x 350 Added damage from grief)
4500 min / 5100 max total

1150 min / 1725 max (wpn dmg including Berserk & Combat Skill Charm)
4025 min / 4025 max (1015% x 350 Added damage from grief including Combat Skill Charm)
5175 min / 5750 max total.

This is taking in all additional increases from everything for the Berserk Skill and the Weapons base damage to make it simple Simon.

EDIT: Void did point out the other factors of Pride or Might or Fana Aura, however, all those additional % enhanced damage, also applies to Griefs ADDED damage. Thus, the Skiller is better.

EDIT2: Oh, maybe I should have said it a bit easier:

What has more damage:
350 minimum & maximum damage multiplied by 15%
or
+10 maximum damage

Here, just did the graph,
Barb combat skill add more damage..
10max is better for PVP cuz of the AR, but not for PVM

Great, I thought the discussion excluded PvP from your initial post.

This is my old Berserk % ed and ar;

Attack Rating: 610 Percent
Magic Damage: 1060 Percent (Synergies Maxed)

This is LoD 2008 Repost of guide, and the barb wasn't completed.

BUT... now you know.... the Skill GC is better, even better than a +14 Max GC.

Also forgot blade mastery and the Ed from strength. Go run it on maxroll if you want to see.
