Amp Damage can spawn on lots of weapons. I bet it can spawn on claws. Pick one up in normal mode and then carry it into Hell and put it on a weapon switch. It might just be enough to kill off most PIs in Hell.
As far as Cranium Basher, it's a neat idea, that's for sure! I think i'd rather take a 33-50 (doesn't the Black runeword give 40% Crushing Blow? *checkcheck* Yep, not only that but it has knockback and 15% enhanced damage too! You can stick it in a mace (though finding 3 socket maces is not my idea of fun) and use a res-all shield (or Whitstan's, or whatever) too. Black might be a better choice for a Blade Fury abuser rather than your Ninja build, though. The Strength (Amn+Tir in melee, easy to get!) runeword is nice too. 25% Crushing Blow, 7% Lifesteal, +2 mana/kill, +20 Strength (nice for the booties), +10 Vit (+30 life is always nice). Quite a deal, if you ask me. The 1.10 runeword Beast is nice, but it's harder to assemble and requires a 5 socket axe/mace/scepter, so that's a bit trickier if you want to 1-hand it. Stats are:
Level 9 Fanaticism Aura When Equipped
+40% Increased Attack Speed
+240-270% Enhanced Damage (varies)
20% Chance of Crushing Blow
25% Chance of Open Wounds
+3 To Werebear
+3 To Lycanthropy
Prevent Monster Heal
+25-40 To Strength (varies)
+10 To Energy
+2 To Mana After Each Kill
Level 13 Summon Grizzly (5 Charges)
Other new 1.10 runewords with crushing blow include:
Eternity, requires another 5 socket melee weapon though:
Indestructible
+276% Enhanced Damage
+9 To Minimum Damage
7% Life Stolen Per Hit
20% Chance of Crushing Blow
Hit Blinds Target
Slows Target By 33%
Replenish Mana 16%
Cannot Be Frozen
30% Better Chance Of Getting Magic Items
Level 8 Revive (88 Charges)
Famine requires 4 socket axes/hammers but gives 331-850 damage in varied elements. Good for taking apart PIs, and that extra elemental damage does transfer over to your kicks (1324-3400 if all 4 kicks hit with 0 monster resist). No CB, though.
Kingslayer also has CB, but it doesn't look that great.
