Er, he already did? He’s saying if a unique already had indestructible mod, allow it to roll eth.
I’m all for buffing WW especially after the IAS changes that made 2H lose FPA, but I don’t really want my eBotD CB / eDeath CS WW Barb that I’ve painstakenly kept all forms of cold damage off of start shooting out Glacial Blast that will freeze enemies. Even if lvl 18’s 200 some odd damage is unlikely to get the killing blow, it still adds a freeze duration that will mean death by my other attacks will shatter corpses so I can’t hork. Things like amp/decrep would be cool of course but I don’t think the game is setup to differentiate?
I think the proposal would be to change the game such that being indestructible doesn’t prevent it from rolling eth? If this isn’t possible then I agree changing to self repair is reasonable, so long as it’s a high enough rate to be sustainable.
I think you mentioned that once before, or maybe it was DarkMaster. While it wouldn’t affect me negatively, I would not want my idea to negatively impact a longstanding build someone put so much time and effort into - I’m still suffering the loss of my 1.14d whirlwind build.
And so, as much as I’d enjoy seeing all the amazing proc skills triggered while whirlwinding, I’ll concede, and instead suggest just procing curses and/or put up to 40-90ish lvl 3-5 amp/decrep charges on wands and daggers.
Min damage caps at 63 unfortunately. I used to think min damage meant it would be added onto the weapon, but it only gets added onto your overall character damage.
I left it eth and indestructible since Endugu is testing the gameplay.
I think it was me and another user who I can’t think of off the top of my head right now, maybe Hanz or Odin?
If there was some way they could allow curses but not some of the skills then that would be awesome, although maybe someone wants to do something crazy with Destruction, Voice of Reason, or Rift, I wouldn’t want to break their ability to. I wonder if they could do something fun by making it proc only certain weapon types, like Mauls, but not others, so we could have the choice?
Awesome, thanks! Can’t wait to see the video. If I may ask for another request, can you also send Endugu The Grandfather? As this version has the potential to roll 3 OS, maybe 3 Ohm runes?

Nickie, much appreciated! @Endugu can you make videos for running Chaos for both The Cranium Basher and The Grandfather? Would really like to see the performance of these two beefed up weapons on WW Barb. When you make videos, can you hover over weapon tool tip for a few seconds to take a quick peek.
Here is the video of the latest modfied TCB. A little weaker that the first modified version and eBotD TM. The end of the video shows the stat difference between the lot of them. I’m having a lot of fun with the beefy The Gandfather, it’s video is coming soon.
Do you think that’s fair for P7? The Javazon is allowed to 1 shot everything with ease and from range. In my opinion The Cranium Basher that originated from Diablo 1 should decimate anything it touches. They’re pretty hard to find too right?
This is putting the original soul back into Diablo seeing a Barb dual wield these giant swords. If you had to roll 3 sockets and eth, that would be a great sword to trade and MF for. It seems pretty well balanced.
If we want a unique maul that is comparable to D2 LoD eBotD tm, I think you came very close with the first TCB. Blizzard needs to fix the 2 hander problem though before both weapons can be remotely close to working as well as they do on p8 in D2 LoD. Im going to do a TCB Chaos run on LoD to show if it works better.
