best base weapon for ebotd polearm

i have a 6 socket eth giant thresher and was thinking of making botd with it. but all i ever here about is botd warpikes. should i hold out until i get one of those instead? giant thresher is faster but the warpike does more damage... im planning on making a concentrate barb with it.

with the GT i can hit the last breakpoint possible with the weapon alone. and with the warpike i'd need an extra 90 ias. which makes my gear selection more limited. something i dont like the idea of.|||Great Poleaxe

Ghost spear

These are good weapons..... Basically any Elite pole/Spear that hits the 4 Frame whirlwind breakpoint unless you want listed damage then go with Warpike but the other weapons are likely to have higher undisplayed damage.

Personally Id go with Ghost spear.|||Why would you use anything but a zerker for a botd? unless its for a merc|||Because he might be making it for pvm and a shield isnt needed? More damage and a larger range not to mention a much higher style point for not following the crowd.

Then the most obvious question.

Why not?|||Quote:

because its worthless.. if he wants to make another character and trade his botd away no one will want it. just put it on a merc dont use it yourself

and to get more damage just go ebotz and beast = style points for bear form and more dmg|||I had no problem trading mine away granted a lower price than the usual EBOTD but it was traded in and out within 10 mins in pubbys. Ive used both the set ups and see very little difference.

I say hurray for not following the crowd....

One mans trash is another mans gold........

Oh and - Style points for being just like everyone else...



He can mule it over as its a very effective merc weapon so it wont be wasted if he gets bored with the guy.

To end with,

Its a that thresher would be good candidate for BOTD if you want to spend it.|||dont listen to whyhack. aim for great pole axe, which is usefull also for werewolves (cheaper alternative for eth 3 sox tomb).

i sold mine 39x ed for value of around 12-13 hrs|||well... i went with the giant thresher.... i got almost the lowest roll possible (357 ed) at least it swings fast |||For a barb using a ebotd polearm go for great poleaxe as vknez was just saying.|||Quote:

Damn shame you are on the wrong side of the roll. Haha i know the feeling about have a good item to make a rw in, but then get adviced to do something else =/. However i am going to not make my Oath (ok not comparable with zod / vex but ) in a small cresent and walk around with cool axes but make it in a eth cryptic + phase LB. whooo +)

Ow one thing about polearm, no Frenzy =? haha
