As mentioned in the guide, an ethereal Breath of the Dying Berserker Axe is the best weapon for a conc barb, or virtually any 1h barb period.

Cheap weapons huh? I guess you're talking about axes, tho it would be smart to say what mastery you invested in.

If it is not axe, let me know.

Anyway, uniques easy to find, perhaps an upgraded Butchers Pupil will do? Also, Razorz Edge is really easy to find.

New rune words are out, check out
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/runewords.shtml

Interesting words:

Death | 5 Socket Swords/Axes | Hel + El + Vex + Ort + Gul
Not very fast, but crushing blow, indestructible and deadly strike on lvl! If you find a 5 socket Etheral Berserker Axe, this is THE runeword i think. Vex is highest level rune in this runeword.

Oath | 4 Socket Swords/Axes/Maces | Shael + Pul + Mal + Lum
Another rune word for that 5 socket etheral berserker axe. Much faster, but no crushing blow or deady strike.

I don't know which is best, but maybe Oath. It also has Hart of the Wolverine charges.

I really can't make up my mind. Stil, i hope i've been of help.

Whoop, sorry, I didn't see that part of your post; it was a rough day for me, hah hah!

In that case, I agree that Oath would be your next best choice; death is nice, but the lack of IAS hinders its usefulness, especially for whirlwind. Another cheap alternative would be a non-eth Death Cleaver, incase you have a hard time getting the axe for Oath. :)

Well, the charges on Oath won't help you because you'll be searching for an ethereal weapon (Oath has the 'indestructible' mod)

It is really easy to find all the runes: just do countess runs untill you have all the runes (Countess drops to ist, and all the required runes are below ist)

Maybe BotD will become a bit cheaper with all the new rw's? Maybe you will be able to get a low BotD for 4 ists? Let's see how the economy of D2 will cope with the new rw's...
