Best CTA Weapon

I am wonder what is the best weapon to make CTA in?
I plan on using it on my Hammerdin, but if for some reason I decide to trade it I want it to be in the best tradable weapon as well. So as long as it is a one handed weapon it will be good.
I presently have a 5os Flail and a 5os Axe of some kind cant remember which one.

I see most people doin it with a 5 soc crystal sword. The flail is the better of the two out of those.

 

[gfattack]

flail ot knout are the best things to make a cta in no one likes the way crystal swords look

 

[Suo]

But CtA in flail looks so much like HotO in the same weapon type and with your holy shield on, you can't always tell which switch you are using. I was forced to make my CtA in to a flail because I couldn't find a crystal sword and now I regret it.

 

[pncwd]

well that all sounds good I think I will go with the flail because I wont use Hoto anyways, I make them just to trade them, I dont like using them, I would rather use the wizzy. That is just personal preferance though.

 

[Zavior]

How is flail better?

Put it in a Scepter with some good Palaskills.

That could be an idea. You can put it in a war scepter, which has a max of 5 sockets, so its easy to get it with the right amount of sockets. Seeing as how it'll be on switch, the best I can think of would be +3 to holy shield, though you'll have to keep in mind whether the total +4 to holy shield with say a +2 from a shield would be better than what the character would have on his main switch anyway. With heaven's light and a hoz for example, that's a +6-7 to holy shield..... perhaps its not such a good idea. I bet it'll look good though :uhhuh:

 

[pncwd]

Well I like the war scepter idea. Only problem there is one with +3 holy shield would proly cost me as much as the runes to make it will. I think I am going to go with the flail, unless I find a 5os scourge. It will be a little while before I make it now, I finally got my second set of cd keys today and I am going to start on a classic rusher so that I can do forge rushes, and rush myself. So that is going to be my next topic of decission, What is the best classic rusher and Where can I find the build info for them?

But thanks to all that had input here and keep me in mind if you happen to come across one of those scepters (5os / +3 Holy shield) I might change my mind if I get one of those.

Double Axe's also have max of 5 sockets, and require 45 str and no dex to use.

 

[Jesse24]

crystal sword has lowest requirements, it is the best.

 

[firstwave]

only a difference of 2 str...and its a lot easier to find a 5os double axe and one can use socketing quest for it.

Stick it in a phase blade, anyone w/ max block can use it and its actually useful when you duel for charging sorcs
