Death is a very powerful endgame Runeword that competes with Grief in a few select builds. It provides a huge boost to both Crushing Blow and Deadly Strike which makes it a good option for Unique-Hunting, Act Bosses and Ubers. Unlike Grief, Death is dependent on enhanced damage so it must be made in a high-damage base. Superior Ethereal bases are ideal since Death comes with indestructibility. Death’s biggest weakness is a lack of Increased Attack Speed which makes it somewhat tricky to build around. It is most commonly used by Frenzy Barbarians.

SUGGESTED SETUPS
Death Ettin Axe / Death Ettin Axe / Level 26+ Frenzy / Level 15 Fanaticism (Faith)
6 Frames = 6 IAS
5.5 Frames = 22 IAS
5 Frames = 48 IAS < Optimal Performance

Death Colossus Sword / Grief Phase Blade / Level 26+ Frenzy
6.5 Frames = 8 IAS
6 Frames = 22 IAS
5.5 Frames = 42 IAS < Optimal Performance
5 Frames = 78 IAS

It is worth noting that although Grief deals more damage, Death provides a significant boost to survivability. Glacial Spikes can reliably freeze enemies and prevent them from surrounding you.
