I want to make Beast for my summon necro, I know overall a BA is the best option for a Barb also. However on my Barb I use 2x Grief pb’s, so besides potentially trading the Beast BA someday in the future, would my Superior Ettin Axe be acceptable to use? Can anybody give me a really solid reason to wait for a BA? I ask because my will power to wait things out is not very high, haha.

if you are never going to use it on a barb make it out of a normal axe or scepter with low requirements.

That’s kinda what I started to think. I have no idea what else I would use Beast for anytime remotely soon and I have a 5os Ettin Axe already. Less things for me to buy if I just use that. Thanks!

BA if you want to sell it at some point
double axe/war axe/war scepter (basically any base with low reqs) if intended for necro use only
