Replace bul-kathos weapons.. need some help plz.

[Velando]

Hi guys.

So for a while I've been using Bul-Kathos set weapons. I was thinking about switching one of them with either an axe or a mace to get the extra 10% crit chance from 'weapon master'.

I'm not quite sure which of the weapons I should replace?? The "Solemn vow" or the "warrior blood" ??

Solemn has the LoH, but Warrior has the +6% extra damage to elites..

Which one should I switch, and which stats do you think I should be looking for on the new axe/mace??

Thanks in advance!


EDIT: My Solemn has 1041 dps, and the Warrior has only 846..

Keep warrior blood. Warrior blood boosts crit damage, and if socketed, it gives even more critical damage. Solemn vow may have high weapon dps, but youre missing out on a lot of crit hit damage. Crit damage > dps for an off-hand.

New stats on your main-hand? Echoing fury is your best bet. It really is the best choice because it (a) falls under weapons master for critical chance, (b) increases your attacks per second. The best ones are really expensive but if you have no limit, go for open socket, high damage, strength, and critical hit damage. If your budget is low, go for critical hit damage, and strength.

K, so DPS is mostly in main hand?

Thanks for the advice

But what about the LoH then? My barb is gonna need that as a WW barb, isn't he?

Life steal vs LOH depends on your character's damage. Higher damage, like 200k dps, makes life steal a better choice. If you're a bit low on damage, go with life on hit OR use ik belt + blood thirst passive for 6% life steal. That should help.

Ok, thanks for the help man!!
