I would think it would be a crafted zerker axe, with a max of 510% ED, and 2 sockets with ohm's that would bring it to 610% ED, (not sure if it can be ethereal or not? Anyone?) That would be the highest damage 1 handed weapon, however math is not my strong point so I don't know actual numbers, just that, I believe this would be the most powerful weapon in the game.

well the maximum you could also use things such as 3/20/20 (+3 max dmg isnt elemental) of course it's a duped charm but you said MAX DMG not max legit dmg :)

Well you DID say "no matter what"...and in the barb channel, I see some like the one who made the Concentrate Guide;-Hal...had like over 8k I think with a 1 handed botd. Not sure of what he has in inventory tho. But thats damn nice 1 hander dmg. I barely go over 4k, and that everything included my Might merc :teeth:

Actually I think the highest would be an ethereal rare with self-repair.
Also note the 3rd breakpoint must be reached to be useful.
The best would be an ethereal rare Legendary Mallet. With
Prefixes: Cruel 300%ed, Masters 150%ed, 2 sockets (Ohm, 40ed15%IAS)
Suffixes: self-repair, Slaughter +20maxdam, quickness 40%IAS.
gives 540%ed. Let' see 6.4 * 55.5 *1.5 +10 = 543 average damage.
This is a bit more than 337 for a 610ed zerker, and the mallet reaches the 3rd breakpoint.

I found this one 2 days ago, although it's too slow for WW, I am going to make a zealot with it. It has more damage than any unique 1H weapon :
Stone Sever Small cresent
1 handed 178-294 (av 236)
Level 48
Durability 13
Dexterity 73
Strength 105
214ed
+12 max dam
+251 attack rating
6% Life leech
Repairs 1 in 33 secs

Actually, If you're going for pure max damage, woulden't you be better off with an inventory full of the max amount strength small charms as opposed to 3/20/20's, they only add 3 to your max damage, I would think that a charm that added to your strength would be better for a barb (ie, add more than 3 dmg per charm.)

Plus in order to get the MAX damage, it would probably have to be a pure strength build as well.

Wow, I'd love to see that, a +610% ED zerker axe, ~500 in strength, and an inventory full of strength charms., as well a 40%ED Jewel socketed in everything you wear. that would be a sight to see... :)

Actually, a few days after 1.10 started i joined a game and saw an etheral hydra edge with 450% ed and some of evis and another mod, (legit since you cant shop etherals). and the guys said he found it. im not sure if it was bugged or w/e but.... it had about 600+ damage tops.

If I remember correctly, you can craft ethereals but they turn into normal.

Enhanced Damage % (dmg%) is capped at 511% (That is 2^9 I believe).

If you socketed an ohm in a 510% Enhanced damage Craft, you would not get any more than 1% more damage!

Ethereal base weapon would far outstrip a non ethereal weapon anyway.

A Magic item can be 400% and ethereal
or 450% and not ethereal
A Rare weapon can be 550% and ethereal (capped to 511%) <-- this one wins
A Runeword item can be 415% and ethereal
A crafted item can be 610% and not ethereal (capped to 511%)
