What's a mauler to do?

hi all,
I have a lvl 80 werebear, and am currently in act 1 Hell. It seems that every other monster I come across now is Immune to physical (plus some other elemental). I have some +poison/cold/lightning charms, but it takes forever to kill the buggers. Any suggestions as to what weapons I should be using/looking for to cover the broad spectrum?
I am playing untwinked, single player, non Battle.net.

Reaper's Toll on mercenary, Tiamat's/Gimmershred~Azurewrath or "Harmony" on switch, or Shockwave and run away.

A Baranar's Star or Immortal King's Stonecrusher would probably have enough elemental damage to assist you. Or you could equip a Witchwild String, and wait for the chance to cast amplify damage to go off and break most physical immunities. I went with Fire Claws as a supplemental skill on my bear, which worked out rather well.

You can use Atma's Scarab or Lacerator which gives you amplify damage, which is able to pierce a lot of immunities. Or using elemental damage, I really suggest Azurewrath - 250-500 magic damage, 250-500 cold damage and incredible sanctuary aura which makes physical resistance of all undeads zero including those immune. And most of the physical immunes ARE undeads. Azurewrath is very rare though, if you play on ladder, lawbringer runeword is good choice with some elemental damage and huge decrepify.
I wouldn't recommend gimmershred, because it's very slow for a bear.
EDIT: BTW it's really easy to park immune monsters with Shock wave. Unless you are obsessed with killing anything, nothing forces you to do so.

Only problem with Azurewrath is that you need to be level 85 to wear it, which is higher than most people are when they solve the game. To that end I'd suggest Baranar's Star instead. Can be equipped at level 65 and it provides 1-200 cold/fire/lightning damage (3-600 total) so you can definitely deal with any physical immunes that way. It is also quite a speedy weapon.
