Well, I haven't looked into this weapon before, but I can tell you right now that you can do better than 25% CB; the most important mod on this item; plus the weapon speed is pretty low, also cutting down on your CB effect. I would say this is a better item for a WW barb than a merc. The barb can take better use of its base damage and indestructibility.
