Well, letsee the stats on the mino:
Two-Hand Damage: (123-149) To (234-285) (178.5-217 Avg)
Required Level: 45
Required Strength: 125
Range: 4
Durability: 50
Base Weapon Speed: [10]
+140-200% Enhanced Damage (varies)
Adds 20-30 Damage
Slows Target By 50%
30% Chance of Crushing Blow
Hit Blinds Target +2
Half Freeze Duration
+15-20 To Strength (varies)

An often overlooked weapon... I never see anyone mention it atleast. The crushing blow on it is pretty handy, and with fury you will be appling it often, helping to down tough bosses fast. But on targets that are immune to physical, which are common in Hell difficulty, barry's star will shine. Also, only the base physical damage of a weapon is enchanced by skills and strength, the elemental damage is not.

One big disadvantage to the mino is it requires two hands, preventing the use of a shield. Granted, with a shapeshifters large health pool, you might not want to bother with blocking, but it is a factor. The slow and blind on the mino would help with crowds a little.

If you prefer a twohanded weapon, get a ribcracker.

Re: baranar 's star devil star...

@stfrn really helpful, it solves a lot, thanks . I didnt know than only physical damage is enchanced by skills and strength. This explains why math fail me , when i count the damage.

I will use them both .

Mainly baranars because i need a shield ( poor resistances).
