No good. Should use a claw. The ed% and AR from claw mastery does apply to BF if you use claw.

Lets take a closer look at CM in comparison to my suggested runeword.
Runeword gives 120ed and 200 AR. A maxed CM (20) gives 111ed and 220 attack. This seems pretty balanced, however the runeword gives CB, CE, and other useful mods. Why not save the 20 skill points and use 3 easy to find runes? If you decide later that a claw would be better then you arent really out anything. If however you can kill fine then you saved 20 skill points for another possible aid. Again, I only wish to state the possibility of use. By no means do I think this is an appropriate endgame.
