Few ubers question

Hi! I'm new to druid class I'm usually playing Meteorb and Nova Necro. I plan to make an alternative to pally smiter/zealer to clear Ubers, Uber tristram and Uber Diablo. I think the best build is Ribcracker's one. But i would like to change weapon because i can afford better high/end items.
Is it possible to switch weapon for a Death eth Zerker axe? What other items could i switch for? What am i aiming for (Max ar, +life, CB, DeadlyStrike, what else? Max block (i don't think so for this one))

I've read the Ribcracker's guide...

I'm just asking so i can start my new uber killer. I didn't want to make a zealer/smiter because its a too comon class.

Any comments, feedback or anything else are welcome! Thanks a lot for infos.

I repeat, i'm new to druid class and i wan't to kill easily mini-ubers, tristram and uber diablo if possible and when the time will come.

To be honest Ribcracker does rank up there with some of the top end rune word weapons for PvM and Uber tristram.

Death Berserker axe is way to slow against Baal & Mephisto mainly.

Any of the following weapons could work like grief phase blade , ebotdz , eth tomb reaver , ebotd Greater poleaxe and maybe a few others. The only problem is that these weapons don't come with any crushing blow which you do need and you would need to sacrificed valuable items that give you resistance for crushing blow like swapping Jalal's for Guillames , CoH for Duress etc. Even a high end eth Tomb Reaver won't kill the Ubers as fast as a Ribcracker with out any CB.

Only other weapon i see that could work is a Stormlash~33%CB~ with a stormshield. Oh and Lastwish's damage is far to weak even with crushing blow to work.

Another thing you should know if you don't is that only the weapons IAS will increase your Fury attack speed in werewolf form when werewolf is at a high level so all them 15% IAS jewels in helms etc wont work. Heres a IAS chart from electricblues guide that will he helpful.

9/5 Fury or faster is recommended.

Thanks for clearing up a lot of things!! I did not know that weapons affect Fury... So if I follow the Ribcracker's guide, i'll have a pretty good uber killer? What items could i switch to get a better uberkiller?

BJam's guide is the optimum setup, the plus is that the weapon can go for pgems >.>.

Yeah i saw that gear is pretty much affordable!

Anyone can answer my final question?

Is a ribcracker druid will be able to defeat uber diablo? Anyone tried it?

Yes, with a Draculs grasp for life leach and ribcracker he is more then enough to take down Uber Diablo.
