Can't find much info on this was hoping someone had experimented with it.
I'm new to D2 started playing in resurrected --> from what i can gather on forums the reason this item used to suck off-hand was because of how it affected Attack Speed breakpoints I think?
But to my understanding this has since been changed --> Is it possible that running either a regular 5os Rune Master with 5ists OR an ETH one w ZOD + 4ists is better than a 6ist'd CS / PB - or is the increase in damage negligible compared to the loss in MF.
If anyone has tried it I'd love to know how it works! Obviously still running Grief main-hand

Just wondering are you using ww or zerk for trav?

The 6 ist cs is usually offhand for a grief berzerk barb. The ias on the offhand wouldn't matter. But now you are trying to find an offhand to use ww?

The off hand weapon is not used for attacking with berzerk so that's why ppl just load their offhand with mf. But for ww both weapons are used for attacking so you would never use a 6 ist cs.

ye was going from Zerker to WW when I made the post*
Just decided to use 2x grief cause if I were to use runemaster I'd need to get a BA grief probably or run 2x runemasters. Too many variables and I dont know anything about the IAS breakpoints :D

I tried both . I didn't think the eth part losing on the 2x lem was worth it bc it was both 2 hits before dead . So I went back to none eth . I was zerk and frenzy
