Question to experienced fury/rabies pvpers

I think I've decided to make a fury/rabies druid but I need some help.

Someone has offered me to buy a 5*40/15+zod 215 ed 3 ar 75 ias eth great poleaxe, but I'm not sure that I would use that over a tomb, so I don't know if I should buy it.

I would really like to have range 5, but the fury damage sacrifice is huge, so I'm not sure.

With the tomb I'd have range 4 fury/rabies with 2.3k-11k fury damage, and with the gp I'd have range 5 fury/rabies with 2.3k-6.3k fury damage. Which one is better?

Cracked sash anyone?

It's no contest in my eyes , the tomb hit faster and harder . The extra 1 range doesnt seem that critical , if your dueling most of your melee vs with be range 2 or 3. So you still have the range advantage.
:scratch:

Tomb is not faster, they're both 4 frames. And vs melee I won't be using a 2-hander (except vs smiters, if you call those melee).

They are both 4fpa follow-up , but the intial attack frame is quicker on tomb
unless I mis-calculated something. If I am wrong , sorry about that:hanky:

I believe they are both 7/4/4/4/4, but that tomb would be 6/4/4/4/4 if socketed with 2 shael instead of 2 40/15 ias.

 

[Verashiden]

He's right, they both hit 7/4. However, the extra 1 range isn't worth the damage sacrifice if you ask me.

tomb is better because:

more damage
resist

which you need versus casters :azn:
