i have eth up'd headstriker with a zod rune in it right now idk what to do with it

sell it to some very dumb zealot and buy an eth headstriker that doesn't have a zod in it, and stick a 40/15 in it, then put it on an act 5 merc
Damage Ulf is only really practical for PvP or maybe some pvm applications where act 2 mercs are too fragile. He's great for PvP because he both can't be FHR'd and easily puts opponents into FHR from his damage, bash and/or stun.
all mercs in duels die almost instantly when hit, but a2 mercs have a habit of going into FHR when you telestomp people and then dying a fraction of a second later without landing a hit, act 5 mercs can at least get a hit or two off and bully people

so i just learned something about deadly strike and head striker gives over 100% deadly strike at higher levels meaning every hit will roll deadly strike. Skills that convert Physical damage to a different type (magic, fire and cold arrow, Lightning Bolt, Fists of Fire, Berserk) do so after DS or CS are applied, so converted damage is doubled. what does this mean for aura damage, its not a skill that converts your physical damage to elemental but it does add elemental damage to your physical, am i right in thinking that this sword would ensure your melee attacks that are buffed from auras like holy chock/freeze/fire will always deal double the damage ? if this is the case why have i never seen something like a melee sorc doing 40k-70k melee damage from light auras and enchant use this weapon ? all it would take is 1 hit and you over 80k-140k damage and its not hard to get that ar up i mean you could rock with this weapon on anything that deals elemental damage like even a druid using fire claws or rabies ? or an assassin using envenom what if the assassin had level 50 envenom and all that poison damage is being delt over what like 1 second or something crazy because the poison time on that skill is super short ? is this weapon just a forgotten machine of death because no one understands its true potential anymore ?

Interesting thought... pity I didnt think of that when I had an enchantress with up to 50K per basic hit a few years ago... The AR was horrible tho so landing a hit was really difficult...
