Im currently deciding wether to get a gatherstorm axe or a pan gu's giant axe. Ive herd both are really good weapons. Im a str/vit build for tanking. MONEY IS NOT A PROBLEM and i can get any weapon, so tell me which one will be best for my build of bm. Also im probably going to be sage.

Just tell me the pro's and cons of the weapons, and what they are good for.

    You need fists for tanking or good luck holding aggro. Also some kinda sacrificial strike axe is better for a bm (those other two axes are good barb axes)...because then u can rain lots of death and destruction with your aoe skills.

    Sounds like you should have made a barb.

    If money is no problem, this might be something.

    It's probably not the best idea to use TT80 gold and 4 socket it considering you don't need it for the TT90 set, but hey, if you got cash to throw around, why not? The bracers are also hella rare, but with money you can probably get em.

    if you want single mobs fists

    if money isn't a problem i would got for "brothers of fear"

    that should cost u 20-40k.. real $

    Money is ALWAYS a problem.

    the stats on gatherstorm and pan gu's are relatively similar, i would go for pan though. much easier to find. gatherstrom only drop from a mob as far as i know.. u can make a pan gu.
    Killing level 80's with a lvl 60 is a lot more fun than killing level 90's with a level 100.

    Pan Gu is pretty horrible for a BM since you have no aggro skills except for Alpha Male perhaps. Pan Gu is basically a tanking tool for barbs to use. If you want to tank as a BM you want fists or claws... and make sure to stack up as much -int gear as you can.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    That 'mob' is Holeen, Champion of Fientazzar, the last bos of Frostcovered citty, and has a 0.5% chance of dropping
