I was wondering, is

Kahless

worth using? I recently got a Taha RW, and I wanted to give this one a shot for my melee-barb; since at the moment for me, Melee-barb is more suited for farming Fautzin than my Throwing spec. How does it compare to

So I play a Strength based Melee Necromancer, If i were to add a Larzuk's Round Shot Mystic Orb to my weapon that already shows it gets the strength damage bonus, would i then get double the strength damage bonus?

And also I'm going to assume the Enhanced Damage Larzuk's adds wont take a weapon past the 200% maximum right?

So then if no to both, whats the best UMO for a weapon for a strength base user in terms of either damaging procs, or some kind of increased damage output.

you wont get double, you should just get more. (4/256 per Strength)% more if this wasnt changed, which is added to your total enhanced weapon damage. if this formula is correct it adds 78% with 5000 str, which is next to nothing...

and no, it wont go past 200%, the only ways you can go past 200% is through rw's and sockets.

i always go for deadly strike on wdm builds and dont bother with UMO..... i found 1 so far and dont wanna farm them

I see, so right now my weapon has (40/256 per strength)%, and that would only add 4 more, that is rather small, there's no new UMO's that would be worth using over something like 5x deadly strike MO's?

Also i do have around 10,500 strength, so Larzuk's still wouldn't be worth it with that much?

it depends on what stance you are using the most , what is your main attack , and if you are dual wielding or not .

depending on your response we will be able to judge which is better

Using Bear-Stance with an ax, Death-Gaze being my main attack-skill. Coldburst being a fallback for physical immune. Not dual-wielding, that got me annihilated early on in Destruction, got a good crafted shield that helped me immensely.
