Just found a Bloodletter from Nightmare Mephisto. Since I've never played any Barbarians and planning on making my first, I wonder if I shall keep it or sell it if I go with Whirlwind?
I have a standard weapon rotation that I now use to level new chars...and bloodletter is a nice part of it.
hellforge hammer till level 9
civerb mace til level 22
hellplague lonigsword until level 30
bloodletter til level 39
butchers pupil until 52
upped butchers pupil until endgame weapon (if endgame weapon is low requirement I skip this).
endgame weapon
there are many different ways to go, but this works for me...I hear that khalims will is also an excellent starting weapon...but it requires me to do a3, and I hate doing a3.
