Highest DPS crafted greensteel THF for a barbarian?

last i heard, +5 holy burst of greater banes are actually better than min II vs lailat even. of course, they're a bit of work to craft, but still... not bad at all

I think if you are tr'ing into a barb an essential weapon is the base SOS. I just recently leveled a barb all the way to 20. I never had an sos at lower level on my fighter. I didn't get his until I had all three other pieces to make it epic. I got lucky and pulled the SOS with him at lvl 12 and got a mrilith chain at 13. For a high str build like a Horc Barb the base weapon is as good as it gets until lvl 20. I used mine all the way to 20 and never even botherd crafting a gs weapon since I can craft +5 hb of GEOB. The combination of the a 15-20 crit range and a x3,x4,x5 and x6 multiplier is next to unbeatable for a barb. I would really try and grind for one if your pretty close to a 20th von6.
Sure it cant break dr and you should probably also have something for that as well but from first hand experience don't discount the power of this weapon in a level 10-19 barb's hands.

Yeah, im not so sure of your opinion of mineral 2. Sure its not the absolute highest DPS weapon, but it gets the job done on just about every mob you will need to hit. Mineral 2 great ax is a decent staple weapon that a player will not have to unequip much.

Or, they can fill their inventory with a +4 holy of greater _______ bane for every single mob type.

Just carry a real DPS weapon (Lit 2, or if you want utility, +++ with 30% healing amp on the top tier), and use it on everything except the two DR bosses you are likely to melee pre-20: Arraetrikos and Suulomades.

If you run one of those raids above Normal and there is no arti, make the relevant DR breaker then.

At 20, if you want a universal DR breaker, look into the Cannith Greataxe of Fire (tier 3, socketed with Good, or if you can trade for them, Aligned Planes). Very high anti-trash DPS (quite a bit up from a Lit 2), high Lailat/LOB DPS, and respectable Pit Fiend DPS. Plus it breaks most of the weird DRs you come across in Epics.

Takes a lot more runs to get a classic SOS than it does to get a Shroud weapon, and there's not much difference between the two.

I know it does but I was just presenting a nice alternative if op was close to a 20th completion where there would be a good chance of it being on his 20th list since it was on all 3 of mine.
