Conc Barb Weapon

After reading Hal's, is it?, Conc Barb guide, I saw that his weapons were quite vague. As of now BotD is too expensive for me. I was thinking Oath in its stead. Would that work? Is there any other suggestions other than BoTD or Cresent Moon? I'd prefer a sword, but I haven't put anything into masteries.

Oath would definitely work. Stormlash is a great choice too for its Static and Crushing Blow, in addition to great speed.

Grief is about 1/3-1/2 of an average BotD's price, you could try that too.

Many other options I've forgotten here... I'll get back to you.

Well, thats a matter of personal preference. I've read that Beserker 1-handed axes do the most damage and have good speed. So if you want the most bang for your buck go axe masteries. However, I like the cool look of a sword myself so I maxed sword masteries. I realize I probably will never be able to reach the last whirlwind breakpoint with a sword but i play D2 to have fun. In the end its a game have fun.

If you prefer a sword go sword masteries.

Masteries is the last thing I am probably going to max...

Grief could probably work, except the fact that I am having trouble getting any high rune, namely the Lo.

I was thinking, would a 2-handed weapon work with a conc barb? Tomb Reaver, or something like that?

Also I am having some trouble deciding on an endgame armor. CoH is too epensive. I do have a levi that I could use... Although I also could use a stone or something else. Any Recommendations? I was thinking maybe IK armor. After getting my Str to 156 and all the +'s I should have enough to wear it, althought that is a bit risky.

What about the runeword a phaseblade?
It looks cool and very fast.
