Question, I was looking into rolling a dual wield barbarian, but I noticed the entire dual tree doesn't actually use both weapons. Am I missing something or is dual wielding fairly worthless in this mod? Old posts seem to indicate it used to be a fairly common playstyle but with every skill only using one of your weapons I can't seem to see a reason to not just use a one hander with a shield.

There is no more "dual wield" tree, it's effectively now sword (champion) tree and axe (berserker) tree. Things were rearranged between trees a bit. That said, I'm playing a dual-wielding axe barb currently finishing up Hatred. Is there damage any advantage to dual wield anymore aside from just the additional weapon affixes? Having no problem tearing through Hatred, but maybe shield will be more appealing as I get into the higher difficulties.

Advantage of dual wielding is that you can use a sword and axe and gain access to both skill trees.

Other advantages are that you can MO LAEK/LOSIM to honorific/crafted off-hand.

You get faster attack speed DWing than with labrys/shield.

You can get ancient's hand from a crafted off-hand saving your helm for something else (like kraken + T6 glaive and go full vita).

Ok, I believe everyone is tired of this question, but there is literaly no proper info on this anywhere (I checked old guides that are not valid anymore, and rune recipes are too general).
Can somebody point me to some explanation about Sacred, Crafted, Shrine Blessing sort of thing? I'm seriously confused about all this and cube recipe explanation is too general.
1. Sacred - basically 7 tier item?
2. Is crafted basically Sacred + Shrine?
3. What is Shrine blessing exactly? An add on to Sacred + shrine, or unique/rare?
4. Can you make unique sacred+shrine?
5. I saw screens with people that have Sacred Crafted with a bunch or runes in sockets, are those runes simply for rune attributes?
6. Any proper guide on how do you exactly do it?
7. When (lvl) should I start making Crafted/shrine items?
8. Can you add MO to Crafted/shrine item?
9. Can Honorific get Shrine blessings?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I ran a bunch of searches with various parameters but found nothing.

1. Basically
2. Sacred rare + transmute with a shrine
3. It adds a second roll of the shrine's stats onto the crated item
4. No
5. Could be, could also be barbarians using them for their runemaster uber skill
6. Check which shrine gives what pre-determined bonuses in the docs. Cube a rare sacred item with a shrine of your choice. Keep cubing until you get what you want, then bless
7. 120
8. Yes
9. No

Nope

I think my post got overlooked so I'll ask again, is there a better place to farm sets besides k3kba? I've been there for the past couple days and only have 1 piece of the set I need, while already getting several dupes of other sets. Should I go elsewhere? I tried googling and saw Chaos Sanctuary, but it was an old version, is it still good? What do you guys do?

Yes, I've seen it, but it doesn't really explain the basic logic behind it.

Are the docs getting worked on to include the specific shrine bonuses?

TA has a pretty good density if you got the killspeed.
