ye at first i thought it would be great to do a quick ww proc and switch but then realised it doesnt work.. so ive put one into double swing. ill give it a try and see if the extra damage is worth the hassle once i lvl my barb. cheers

Ww doesn’t proc ctc%
Switching to another weapon set to then use double swing to trigger decrep to then swap back again to Ww side is an hilariously bad idea. You sacrifice all your +BO and fcr from 2x hoto on swap, and you lose both time and a lot of dps.

You have 2 good options:

Use a might reaper merc
All your problems are fixed

Or

Use a might pride merc
And simply use a 1pt berserk to kill phys immunes

The first option is by far the best.
The 2nd is still not so bad.
Anything else isn’t even worth talking about, it’s not even close.

That’s for a pure WW build.
The optimal answer would be different on other builds.

act 2 merc... ideally with a eth reapers... eth andys socketed with a ral or if you're rich a 15ias/30FR jewel, eth fortitude armor.

Merc hasn't died in years.

example...

Thank you for the info so I'll scrap that idea and stick with the meta, but another question I have is about ww breakpoints. Does frenzy boost attack speed for ww to reach breakpoints?

I figured out the damage calculators and I need 89% for 4fpa which means I have to drop forti if I can't find a boost somewhere else

Some options I found would be to use frenzy to prebuff speed boost or ik gloves + boots will give 25ias along with 15ias Andy helm (35 total), 20 from amu and 10 from belt.
Can also go with act1 merc with faith for fana aura

- I'm trying to increase damage on barb he doesn't hit hard enough with good gear

There isn't that much loss when not using enigma, I have 2 x 3 warcry javs and the life boost from BO is only 200 - 300 more which doesn't mak much difference due to my life leech. So I had the proc gear on weapon swap casting decrep/amp DMG on targets with a double swing or 2 before I ww for more DMG.
