There are legit reasons to use arreats over gface, like strength bonus, leech, res, attack rating, plus to skills etc etc. More so the leech since you are using dual griefs, which have fuck all for leech.

Gface gives 15% deadly which after your crit strike chance goes to more like 9% chance of double damage and crushing blow is entirely overrated for general pvm. Its fine for a cheap helmet.

I also use pride merc on my whirlwind barb most of the time because by the time he procs decrep the targets are already dead, might as well stack on an extra 350 ED that stays on all the time.

Sure it's not as good for killing baal himself but I already skullfuck diablo in like 3 whirls.

Swap to gface and then try arreats and time your runs you will notice almost zero difference. The arreats will allow you to whirl with more reckless abandon because it actually has leech and defensive stats like res.

Melee in this game is like driving a shitty car. You're not winning any speed records, you might as well go with the smoothest ride amd the most comfortable seats.

On swap I like using cheap dual hotos. Easy 63 fcr breakpoint, 6 to skills good mix between speed and a shitload more life from bo.

I did some quick and dirty stop watch kill timers on diablo and tested the Berserker Axe Combinations. Only n=5 per combo but I will say that EBTOD BA and BA Grief feels the best out of the bunch and consequently has the highest DPS based on this quick breakdown.

Time is recorded in seconds and DPS is based off of Hell Diablo Life / Kill time. All ran using a level 94 Barb with Max WW and Axe Mastery. No other items changed. Popped seals and started stopwatch as soon as I left clicked the first WW on diablo.

Anyway, here are the results. If you want me to do more attempts I can try to make another run at it. Chaos is boring back to back, but I'll do it for science.
