Carnifex - question

[Gnorbert]

So, Looking at the description of carnifex, can someone tell me what I'm missing? If I have Imp Crit: Slashing feat then doesn't carnifex just become a +2 Greataxe?

Is there something more than meets the eye here?

[Junts]

Carnifex has a base crit range of 19-20, other great axes are only a base of 20. Before the Keen.

Its got greatsword crit range and great axe multiplier.

[Varhann]

Doesn't Carnifax have a 17-20 crit range?

NM, Junt's answered the question.

Why does the compendium have it marked down at 19-20 crit range with Keen, then?

[Gnorbert]

ah... well, in that case I can see what the big deal is... I guess another couple times through Delera's won't kill me.

Remember, it’s now Bound to Account. So you can pull it once and send it to your alts via the Account wide bank.

I just picked it up this afternoon on my barb

Is it worthwhile getting rituals on it at all (e.g. force)? I don't have account wide bank available and, frankly, don't see any of my other characters using a 2hander.

Against critable mobs, what would you guys say is the next best THF weapon before greensteel?

[excess]

Probably the Sword of Shadows (18-20/x3) - or, once IC:Slash is taken (15-20/x3)

[Junts]

Given the difficulty of getting a sos before greensteel, try for a holy of righteousness falchion
