Hey guys, for those of us rolling barbs at release, I wanted to start a thread to talk about some of the items in the new D3 database that caught your eye.
I was wanting to do a 2H Sword build but seeing as how that 2H Mace trumps the shit out of any sword I will probably just dual wield the Bul'Kathos swords.

I agree. I posted in another thread... in the past don't most swords have higher attack speed for their lower damage? While maces/axes have higher damage but slower speed? Messerschmidt's DESTROYS the other weapons in all categories. Hoping they change some of the values around; I've always liked using swords best.
BTW, hadn't seen the BK swords, they look sweeeeet!
I LOVE swords. I particularly love unrealistically large, over sized swords. Given an option between a cooler looking sword and a stronger mace or what have you I'd always choose the stronger item, but there will always be a place in my heart for swords.
I don't care if they're 2h'd or 1handed just give me bad ass swords.
You know what else would be cool, since we kind of lack a real definition of a "rogue" or "assassin" type class is barbs making effective use out of sick looking fist weapons and daggers.

If Messerschmidt's ends up being way too OP, they'll likely nerf it. And I hope they do, as I as well would like to roll with a 2hand sword barb :Thumbs Up:
My place really was here. I was too foolish and stubborn to notice. But, what I truly hoped for then was here. Why do I always realize it When I've already lost it.
But yeah, it definitely seems like these two weapons blow everything else out of the water.
One thing to keep in mind though is that all of these items have "random properties" attached to them. You could find a 2h sword with +50% damage on it..and that could make it comparable or better than these two. Of course...there could be versions of these two with +50% damage on them too :D.. so moot point i guess.
Also keep in mind that these items and stats are not set in stone. These are just examples of the items that COULD be in the game.
Highest DPS 1hander in the game. Assuming Blizz has balanced 2handers and duel wielding, random property either damage or more aps, with frenzy red and Bash indigo stacking awww yeah.

I agree that maces or axes are more Barbarian themed... brutal and savage. But when I picture a D2 Barb, he has two gigantic swords in his hand, and I can just imagine how quickly he can slice shiot up with such sleek, double-sided blades, spamming Frenzy and running around like a crazed maniac.
This item makes me want to cry sweet, sweet tears of joy.
I can't wait to get my hands on this game. Between this item and Azurewrath, the wait just feels so damn unbearable.
Here's a link to the barb 1h "mighty weapons".

So far the one item that makes me go "WOW I WANT THAT" is Messerschmidt's Reaver:

Picture two of those on a crit build barb.
Looks like a Blizzard employee is a fan of Monster Hunter. The name tipped me off and the weapon design looks a lot like the Spartacus Blade from MHU.

Overfiend...2h mace.
