Lets convert actual gaming few inches into a milimeter.
With a zerker, you can WW and hit them being 10 milimeters away. With a CB you can do like being 15 milimeters away. The advantage? You can hit a Zerker WWer 5 milimeters before the zerker wwer can hit you.
Atleast thats what i assume. Its not 100% accurate, probabaly not even 10% accurate, but who knows.
Eh, it's hard to say in length of, say, pixels. But slaynish has a pretty good idea, if you both WW at each other, the longer weapon length would most likely hit first.
Actually you are both wrong and right Sov. When using a CB in two hands it has a range of 5, but when using it in only one hand it has a Range of 3 which is the same as a EBOTD Zerker. 3 is the highest 1 handed range. and 5 is the range of two handed weapons. well i guess minus bows which have insane range. I also still think that you might want to consider putting some more into dex due to the fact that i dont think you realize how often melee will hit a barb when they have 0 defence from zerk.
Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.
