WW Barb needs suggestion for a better Sword

[godemperor]

I have a level 48 WW Barb  and I'm looking for some ideas on what sword he should be using.  Currently I have a Winterswipe  Unqiue Rune sword (Used Mod dolL) also used Ghost Doll to make etheral and made it indestructable.

Anyway I'm doing Nightmare having a difficult time killing stuff.
I've maxed sword mastery of like 35
Leap Attack is also level 35
and My WW is 23. 

Any suggestions are welcome and much appreciated. Thanks :s513:

i used 2 kristal swords tempered with "wisper" up to the point when i was able to use 2 greatswords (? its the norm or exep version form cc/cb) with oath in it. now witrh 82 i use 2 rare eth tempered botd cbs.

From 41 on, I used a Great Sword.
It started out rare, with 50% ED and a little IAS.
Then I tempered it. (3 horns, 5 maxdam per level are a _lot_)
Then I put the following runeword in:

4) ENVY (4 Sockets)
Runes : Fal + Ko + Lum + Io
Level : 41
Mods  : 30% increased Attack Speed
        222% Enhanced Damage
        6% Life & Mana Leech
        10 All Attributes
        25% All resistance
        +2% to Experience Gained
        35% magic Find.

I've been using that until the early 70s of my barb. (Although I did upgrade it to be etheral, indestructible and an exceptional version.)

Great  I'll try that.  Envy looks pretty cool especially with IAS and ED .

The Wisper I've never heard of. Is that a runeword?  what are runes it's uses?

Thanks guys

The Prob with Envy is that ud dont get Max WW Speed with that. But at that LVl it shouldnt Matter.

"you don't get max ww speed with Envy"

How much total IAS does WW need to max out?  PhaseBlades start with 30 IAS built in, Rare Weapons can have 40 more (per Arreat Summit) and Envy adds 30 more.  That's 100 IAS on the weapon itself.

It is currently impossible to reach the max WW IAS, no matter what runeword you use.
That's why some persistant yet unworthy beings such as me keep begging for IAS oils in CE. ;)
