Looking at BvB builds I’ve seen people recommending basically everything. Grief CB, griefz, ebotdz, ebotd cb, beastz, edeathz... I’m sure they all have their uses but I’m looking for the best option for a “barb vs melee” focusing on high damage. I would like to try swords since a colossus blade barb has always appealed to me but is ebotd CB or grief cb a good option?

Greif zyhander -15 base speed range 3 . Concentrate barb ias viso ias storm z bug stone. Should be able to reach 40k def and 22k ar pretty eazy. Fun build. Ias gloves and stat for highlords min dmg rings. Frw is nice here. But can switch to enigma as long as u have 35 ias from greif and 30 from visionary.

Grief or Death are usually higher on a colossus sword instead a colossus blade because the max. sockets for a colossus sword is 5 and a colossus blade is 6. However, it's always better keep the item with the sockets needed for the good runewords. For example, Last Wish should be on a PB, a colossus blade or a berserker axe (if you don't care to repair your weapon via the merchant) and all the runewords via a sword with 5 runes needed should be on a colossus sword.

Never create a runeword via a level 1 character, especially if that character is unpermanent because your runewords via a level 1 will be always low stats.
