What would you put in a runemaster?

I have gotten a nice high ed 5-socketed runemaster that i plan to use on my frenzybarb and i need to figure out what would be the best stuff to socket it with. The other axe i intend to use will be an Oath zerker. I have sources of lifeleech, crushing blow, deadly strike and open wounds allready so stuff that would ad that is not needed. I was thinking of just putting a bunch of sols, eths, and shaels in it. But if anyone could come up with something else that would be more awesome feel free to post here:P

Edit: I would rather not put stuff above an Ums value in it. And i am going to team up with a conviction pally so maybe i should put some elemental stuff in it?|||To keep it fairly reasonable, depending on how much IAS you have, I'd use a combo of shaels/plain ias jewels and plain ed jewels. Check the speed calc to see where you're at.

JEB90|||If you could get jewels or gems with 100+ elemental damage on them it might be worth it, but as it is scrap that idea.

If it was completely clear to me how frenzy works I'd be able to help more, but I'd say put in an Eth or two, fill up with shaels and put the Runemaster above your gloves.|||Since you already have an oath, use that as the main weapon since it has 50% ias. Since frenzy only uses the ias of the main weapon, you don't need to put shaels and ias jewels in the runemaster. Perhaps load it with 5 eld runes for undead killing |||That's not true if the first of the two frenzy swings hit:

if the first attack in the Frenzy sequence misses... only the primary weapon's IAS continues to be used to calculate the remaining length of the sequence and WSM is not recalculated.

However, when the first attack hits, only the secondary weapon's IAS is used to calculate the remaining length of the sequence and WSM is recalculated: for more detail, see Hammerman's quoted post in the Calculator Inaccuracy for Frenzy Attack Speed thread in this site's Statistics forum.|||Use a Lawbringer for undead killing. For yr runemaster, 5x Pul's would be amazing.

I have a perfect ethereal 5 socket 270% ED Zodded runemaster in my stash, with 4 sockets waiting to be used, would probably go 4x Pul's since i can get CB and DS elsewhere.|||5 Puls gets you another Oath, which'll be far better than just about any non-eth Runemaster.

*That's an amazing Runemaster you've got there, why fill it with Puls? You know that ED to undead/demons functions as off-weapon/skill ED, right? Even if you only socket it with 100% worth of ed jewels, that should outdamage the 4xPul setup, and it won't only work versus demons |||Quote:

On that note, if you don't need the IAS (or a Zod) I don't understand why anyone would ever socket any weapon with anything other than ed or, better still, ed/max. Damage on weapons is the main thing you can't get elsewhere. I suppose you can think of scenarios for uber-runners where cb is better than damage, but for almost all game play weapon damage is still king.

JEB90|||5os eth runemaster with zod + 4 shaels. *drools while imagining it for a fireclawer*
