Between LoD and D2R, I have 8 eth/rep shields, but none of the ones I have are bone shields.no, for a full 'Bone' items ethereal char.
I would even be happy about a magic one, as long as it gets 2 sockets from larzuk
I'll second @d2lover: use a phaseblade. Is there a reason that you want a BA? The only reasons I can see are that the weapon reach is better (useful for PVP, so not so much in D2R) or that you want to dual wield with something else.As of last night I've got enough runes to cube a Lo for a Grief, but since Day 1 of D2R I've only seen one normal bezerker axe, and it had 6 sockets already. So I've been studying its chances of dropping from various monsters with the help of Silospen's calculator.
At first look, it appeared like the cow level would be a bad place to find one at 1:79,124 odds from a regular cow. But since there are on average ~400 or so regular cows there each run, if they are all killed then your odds increase to 79,124/400, or approximately 1:198 for each run if all regular cows are killed? Is my math correct? As you might have guessed math is not my strong suit.
Edit: odds above are for /p1.
Edit #2: on my first run there tonight looking for a base berserker axe, I found a Jah at /p8.
Edit: also, Flamberges can be good for Grief, but my memory on why is fuzzy. I think that it's for the better reach with decent durability.?.?.?
Edit: Apparently the speed is better, too.
