What is best sword to make Lawbringer runeword in for an Act5 merc? Based on known damage ranges and weapon speed of base weapons, it seems like a ethereal legend sword would be the way to go. But I heard a rumor that Act5 mercs get a damage bonus with one handed weapons. I don't know exactly what that bonus is or if it exists at all. Does anyone know how that bonus works? And if you do, what sword I should be using for this? Thanks.

AFAIK The only hidden bonus for act5 barb is a poison resist (70%) I do not remember anything about 1hS bonus
Range applies for Acte5 barb.. Only act2 merc have a fix range of 3
There is a difference between 2handed and 1-Handed based on Strength ED% Bonus
It is 1.1% ED for 2-handed weapon against 1% ED for common weapon (included 1hs)
My 2 cents
