Two-Hander for Wolf?

I made an 8 Druid/11 Barb/1 FvS wolf and I'm wondering which two-hander you all would advise I use?

Here are my Choices:

1. Torn, That Which Renders Despair

Pros: Metalline, Stacks of Vulnerable, Improved Destruction, Insightful Armor Piercing, Good crit multiplier (x3) and works with LD's Headsman's Chop for an extra crit multiplier on rolls of 19-20.

Cons: Comparatively low Base Damage Rating (85.25), very narrow (20) crit range.


2. Legendary Tail of the Scorpion

Pros: Metalline, 9d6 Poison Damage, Sovereign Vorpal, Outstanding crit range (15-20) because of Keen V, Good Base Damage Rating (107.25)

Cons: Low crit multiplier (x2), lose x1 crit multiplier because it's not an axe so it won't work with Headsman's Chop from LD.


3. Reflection of Blackrazor

Pros: Decent crit range (17-20) because of Keen V, 9d6 Untyped Damage, Excellent BDR (127.20), Overwhelming Stealer of Souls (works better vs. Trash but the Fortification reduction works against bosses).

Cons: Not Metalline, Low crit multiplier (x2), It's not an axe so it won't work with Headsman's Chop from LD, It's PITA to acquire.


I'm leaning heavily towards Torn but I could be convinced to use one of the other two.

What do you all think?

Reflection of Blackrazor is the only choice for 11 / 8 / 1.

So, from speaking to a few folks, it seems that Reflection of Blackrazor is best for trash and Torn is best for bosses.

I told the folks I'd rather not switch because I don't have 2 maxed out sentiences (one for each weapon). Most of them said to go with Blackrazor full-time, then.

The new Sharn raid Great-axe looks like a better solution, though.

Black razor wins at trash only if you can maintain the soul stacks...which is very luck dependant. Theres probably 2 or 3 other people in your party killing stuff in high reaper, and you may not be able to stay at max souls.

If i'm not wrong, Torn goes up to 17-20/x3 (not counting 19-20 multipliers) if you get the +2 threat range t5. Tail goes up to 15-20/x4 with the +2 multiplier t5. Tail should easily win in terms of DPS once you factor in crits, unless you have no other sources of vulnerable. Torn seems more of a "support" weapon to apply armor destruction and vulnerable stacks.

Personally I would go Tail. The extra crits are very nice and not dependant on luck or RNG the way soul stacks are, and you get the crits vs bosses, whereas soul stacks are for trash mobs only. It's also metalline so you don't have to worry about swapping weapons to bypass DR. As an extra bonus, its still easier to get than Reflection Of Blackrazor because it doesn't require schism shards.

If my maths is correct, 17-20/x4 (black razor) vs 15-20/x4 (tail) is roughly 30% more DPS in favor of tail, all other factors being equal that is (so it doesn't take into account soul stacks or the higher base dice of black razor).

Do you have a link to this build? I've seen a couple, and I'm just curious what the build is made up of.
