Im thinking a standard WW build, for Chaos Sanctuary and GF at Travincal. I wont need to be able to clear 8player games solo, I mostly play alone or with 2-3friends.
Any suggestions for 'normal' cost gear?|||oath in an elite 2h sword. They infact do more damage when held with both hands - without a lot of damage charms or CB that is - and of course the looks|||Upping certain uniques can work quite nicely too. Pierre Tombale Couant (+3 barb skills, 55%DS and 6%mana leech!) and Hone Sundan (3 sockets and 45%CB!) can do some decent damage when upped.
Like zrk said, Oath in an ethereal base will definitely get you through the chaos sanctuary. I used Oath in an eth Highland Blade against the council on p3 (even p7) for a long time.|||For Whirlwind you'll definitely want a weapon that hit the final speed breakpoint, as well as high range for cutting a nice arc through enemies.
Low cost goodies:
Hone Sundan (eth+upped preferred) range 5
Arioc's Needle range 4
Bonehew range 3.
Oath might be too expensive, but does nicely in a 2h sword. A bad roll is a major dissapointment if you make your own. Range 3.
Razor's Edge Tomahawk. Only range 1, but nice damage.
IK Maul, Windhammer range 2.
Butcher's Pupil. Range 2.
Ribcracker Range 2.
Viperfork, Range 5.
Azurewrath, Frostwind, Cranebeak, Runemaster, Range 2.
Djinn Slayer, Cold Steel Eye, range 1.
You could always try your luck crafting weapons for some insane cruel/fool's mod.

even the lowest oath has the equivalent of 365% ED in a non eth weapon - and does more damage than all of the above in perfect weapons(a perfect ribcracker does 411 dmg though, perf eth hone(this one is freakin expensive) 434, oath bb 210% 402, so they do beat it)|||Quote:

Agreed, and it will cost much more to make or trade for than an average stat version of any of the others. OP wanted a low to medium cost weapon. Oath is viable if you have very lucky nightmare and hell forge drops, but I have gone this route myself at ladder season starts, making low %ed oaths and being very annoyed, as they have very limited resale value. Out of a dozen or so Oaths I have made over the years, I have only made one that was respectable. I had found a superior %ed 4 socket ettin axe, and it turned out lovely, so I matched it with a death for a frenzier.|||Oaths it is then. And its gonna have to be swords, anything else just looks ghey ona barb.
What other equipment should one aim for?|||for cheap you can probably find/make:
Arreat's Face/Guillaume's Face
Lionheart
Crafted Blood Gloves
SoE/Crafted Blood Belt/a belt with resistances
Goblin Toe/Gore Riders
Angelic ammy/mana leech with resists
Angelic ring/mana leech with resists (if you use the angelic combo you'll probably want your other ring to have mana leech)
off-weapon ias doesn't affect the whirl speed (only the weapon's speed affects it) so worry more about leech/resists/cb/ds/ed/etc... on the non-weapon equipment.|||Small Crescents are easy to get and actually look quite bad-***, unlike the puny zerker
|||No one suggested a yellow weapon. Check out this sweet sword I had in 2008. I traded for it on these forums for a few perfect gems.http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/s...postcount=2191
