Classic ww barb weapons

[:1]Hey everybody I have 3 options for what weapons to use on a classic ww barb. No runewords will be in classic so the weapons are going to be rares since its classic. I am wondering what would be best of the 3 options:

dual nagas:

base average dmg- 30.5 per side (61 counting both sides)

at 40 ias on both weapons- hits 12.5 attacks per second

rangeadder- 2

grim scythe:

base average dmg- 50

at 40 ias- hits 4.16 attacks per second

rangeadder- 4

martel de fer:

bade average dmg- 80

at 40 ias- hits 3.12 attacks per second

rangeadder- 2

Which one do you people would think be best for a classic ww barb assuming the weapons are rare quality? I would say dual nagas hands down.|||http://www.google.co.za/search?q=+si...ssic+whirlwind

WW always hits at 4 FPA in classic, so I guess the idea is to get the hurtiest stick/mace you can find. I'm not sure whether dual-wielding would work the same as in D2X, although you'd need to get 2 good rares instead of one...|||martel is by far the best. as hubb said, 4 fpa, ias doesn�t matter. u�ll need a source of cb, usually goblins

2h weapon:

martel (130+ ed) > lance (150+ ed), everything else is a theme build. bonesnap is better, than low martels/lances and most other weapon bases and can work as vialbe weapon in hell

single dura lances mean, u�ll have to repair ur weapon a lot

1h weapon:

skip the dual wielding idea

battle hammer (140+ ed) or executioner (160+) with 30/20 high def shield (pavise preferably). no uniques are worth mentioning|||Quote:

Well that's the highest in Expansion too, and then in Classic no IAS is needed to reach it.|||Quote:

He can reach 4 frames per attack max, and if he is dual wielding both swords make a hit check every 4 frames (not one every 2 frames), which is the same as it works in classic.|||Quote:
