Hey, just bought a set of flying axes - one erep cruel, one erep fools.

I heard rumors of either barb combat gcs or barb mastery gcs being better than max/ar/life small charms for a throw barbs. Has anyone tested this to confirm or deny this?
It appears axe mastery bonus does not apply when throwing, only to melee damage, so axe mastery and throwing mastery do not combine for throwing.

Thanks in advance

14max/70+ ar are best dmg wise
lacerator/ws > 99.99% of rares

This.

Masteries dont combine.

I would advise you to use a 3bo metamorphosis helm in cube, and beast + doom offhand.
Because any reasonable combi of Attackspeed/DR% and FCR is very hard to achieve without that.

Doom + Beast offers a fine annoying but effective wirl offhand, at the same point as beeing able to transform to bear to "Pre activate" Mark of the bear(25% EIAS + 20% DR) and the 2 skills in doom helps BO level a little.

Cube:
3bo metamorphosis
2 sojs/bk
3wx ammu
arach(if other belt is in use)

Typical helms:
20fcr/3soc/45ias/120%ED
2barab/20fcr/visio/adds/2soc (ED/ias jools or @/ias jools)
Coa (ED/IAS jool's)

Use warrent attackspeed calc and consider some setups based on this.
Dont forget the crucial RAVEN AND WISP combi. GL hunting bowa/nec etc without that oak, it also acts well as absorb and CNBF.
That oak meatshield should be very high on priority list.

Attackspeed and knockback as well...

Just and example:


Skilling axe mastery is more helpfull than skilling Wirl/berserk individual. Ofc you need 1 base wirl/zerk xD
