Headstriker Question

Heya, this might be a stupid question, but....

i made my first zealot, and he's lvl67. i found a headstriker.. i put it on and because of my lvl, it's at 100% deadly strike.. after aura, str, equip, my total zeal dmg is around 2k...

the question is:

because of the 100% deadly strike, am i always doing double damage? ie, 4k?

and why does everyone love death cleaver? :scratch:

thanks!

Deadly Strike is capped at 95%, so you're actually doing double damage 95% of the time.

I think its capped at 95 but yes you basically always do double dmg.

People LOVE Death cleaver so much for so many reasons, just by looking at its pretty obvious.
Great dmg.
Decent enough speed(need only 20 ias more to hit 4 frame zeal)
66% Ds, which allows 1 of two things. most people will use angelics along with it and still have 81% chance to double dmg(gores), others use highlords and replace gores with travs for a dmg boost and use dual ravens.
-33 target defense(in duels only 16 but still nice vs 35K+ def opp)
all around it is agreed DC>EBOTD

I thought it was eth DC > Eth BOTD Zerk?

yes, thats right

I have to mention another thing about death's cleaver is range 3 on berzerker axes, ... headstriker is range 1 and that starts to suck in different situations tho mostly in pvp...
