Are chaos runewords still a thing?

No. They were patch-specific

[ChuckNoRis]

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

Gehenna

Gehenna

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.

in that case , Kahless is not better than Gehenna .


both procs deal crapy damage , at least with Gehenna you are boosting your overall damage with -enemy resists to your cold attacks + you having a bit more life . If you were using a dual wielder orientated on fire procs , then khaless would have been better (also 6% DP reanimate) , but it's not your case .

however , you may trade your rune for something more usefull , either for an item or for another rune , a Sha'ad for

Wolfsangel

or whatever else you want/need . Or maby use it for a

Thundercloud

for your ranged spec

oh , and the one who gave me a negative cookie on this must be retarded or something

What merc do you guys recommend for dmg?

spell caster or weapon damage?

spell caster or weapon damage?

Weapon

if your build is tanking ok , you can try an act 1 ranger merc , they are quite decent at dealing damage , sadly they can't tank much .

if your build is ranged and you also need an extra tank , act5 barbarians /exemplar/shapeshifter , any of those 3 . check their skills and pick what you believe it will help you more https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/class/hirelings

for my Ranged Spec, would Thundercloud be any better?

[ChuckNoRis]

would Thundercloud be any better?

that proc deals heavy lighting damage , however , the Griefbringer is an item that can keep you safer with bear claw proc stunning your opponents . It all depends on the spot you are farming .
