Yeah i'm not looking for speed run, I want a good all rounder that can clear anything in hell p1-p4. I don't see where swapping from 6x lem'ed pb to ss shield would slow me down while running, if blocking couple hits from non feared mobs.

Grief pb seems legit better in every aspect vs death, don't you think?

Thanks for sharing thoughts :)


Thats exactly what I said use grief and not death...

I dont bother trying to clear everything with that char I got other char for this, I use this as a specialized trav/pit runner other than that its just meh
Never said a Isted or Lemed pb would make you kill quicker :rofl:
Was talking about kill speed because u were thinking of using death instead of grief...
The Isted/Lemed pb is to maximise your invested Time vs Drop
Why would I use a Berserk Barb outside of trav/pit when I got char who can do anything p8 super fast and clears chaos p8 in 1-2 min...
If its just for fun its ok but for efficiency no

Would a pb grief in mh and beast axe in oh work with sword mastery?

Zerk only attacks witch mh right? So I can use beast for the aura and pb in main hand for speed and no repairs? I see some older guides use a beast

I'm curious too!

Fana aura and str buffs are nice mods to have as second hand.

yes, the ed increases physical damage which is then converted to magic damage

zerk works with crushing blow, deadly strike, enhanced damage, open wounds
zerk does not work with life/mana leech, life tap, decrepify, amp damage since those require physical damage being applied
