The best damage output would give eDeath Colossus Sword or eBotd War Pike.
And 2h BotD is very good weapon in every build
with Death setup you will have like 100%Ds and 100%CB, with Botd 65% DS and 50%cb.
Average damage of perf Death CS = 680, or 1360 with 100% DS.
Average damage of perf BotD War Pike = 813, or 1341 with 65% DS.
So in case of raw damage it's the same.
And 50% CB is enough. More 50% cb is like 2K addition damage in the first hit on the fat mob like Venom lord.
With Botd you will be 2 times more durable with tons of leech and better AR.

I've been reading about this debate a lot. I know you created a topic about this back in 2018.

I think the best 2h death setup I've seen is Master Zappy's modification of TrollFace's setup (maybe war travelers instead of gores).

What about the dual ravenfrost + ar charms+ demon limb? Wouldn't that solve AR issues on the death setup? And with better AR/damage, you'll be leeching more.

I guess BotD also has 200% ed to undead. Since LoH already gives you 350% ed vs demons, that kind of covers a hole. Now you have extra ed% versus everything except animals. I think that also covers all of chaos sanctuary.

I think it’s better to try different setups in single player with hero editor.
You can wear Andy Face/vampire gaze and use Gores or wear G-face with Wartravs. You will still have 100% DS.
Forty is ok, but enigma gives mobility and since you have reapers merc it’s crucial to repositioning it because with Forty you will kill faster than merc Run to you and procs decrep aura.
I would say it’s a perfect killer, but glass canon and pretty expensive in terms of some gear.

for non-tele melee character might aura pride merc should be taken into consideration as he mostly won't reach enemies before they die but, at least, will provide huge dmg boost

I see, I think maybe Naj's on swap (thanks to Tr0llface for this idea) to tele with fortitude is also an option. Obviously swapping and refilling teleport charges might be annoying.

Tested it with Forty and Naj setup - not an option or be prepared to spend 60-70k after each run to recharge Naj.
Also even with best charms, perf torch, anni you will need to spend like 100 hard points in dex to reach 10k AR. Without it you will have like 6k AR and miss 15-20% of swings.
In addition to this i don't recommend Titan or Semi titan build. Due to low life pool you will be pulled often in FHR. With low AR and Life leech you will be dead in a second.
With same gear Fury Wolf can be full STR and have like 2,7K Health, 13k AR, an TONS more life leech with 4 frame attack.
Doing 4,16 attacks per second with 15k average damage (10-20k after auras on screen) with 2h Death Pala = 62,4K damage in sec or 125k damage after 100% DS.
Doing 5,43 attacks per second with 16k average damage (6-27K after auras on screen) with eTomb Wolf = 86.88 damage in sec or 145k damage after 67% DS
And 50% more CB cant make difference in 20k damage. Also you will miss more often than wolf in every case due to lower AR.

Ort + chipped gem + weapon = fully charged and repaired weapon

On topic, are you guys comparing zealots to fury?
