Runeword Death for Frenzy Barb

So ive found a 5 sock Colossus Sword 15%ed, base 1 hand dmg 30-80.

Ive decided to use Death as my offhand (MH Ebotd CB).

My question is this, should I make Death in the 15%ed CS or am I giving up to much base damage since it isnt Eth?

What would the base damage of an Eth version be?|||The damage of eth weapons is 50% higher. So that's significant.|||According to my much limited math skills that would result in a 1 hand base dmg of 45-121 (26-70base dmg x 50%eth x 15%ED)

On a perfect Death roll of 385%ed the damage span would be:

116-308 for the 15%ed version

173-466 for the eth 15%ed version

Well thats just way to much damage to give up on. To bad, I was kinda hoping to roll my Death tonight...

Well ive just gotta go hunting for a 5sock 15%ed Eth CS |||It does not have to have 15%ed.

It only matters that it's eth.|||The ed% also doesn't affect the base damage like the ethereal bonus, it just adds on to whatever the runeword already has. So if Death gave you a perfect roll (385%) and you had a 15% superior then it'd be 400%.

Either way your math was off but I think you at least understood that making it in a non eth weapon is bad news bears .|||I'm hunting as well for a Eth weapon to make a death for my frenzy barb. I can't wait to make it.|||eth death is possibly the best offhand weapon for a frenzy but I prefer beastz/edeathz for weapons since I love to use berserker axes over any swords.
