weapon choice
Which weapon should I pick. I want to do the Achinda's fang build with wraith gaining on my primary and str and health etc on the Achinda.

Have two options for my primary:

119-137
17% crit chance
23% crit damage
23 wraith per kill
8 wraith per crit

119-137
24% crit chance
18 shock
wraith on crit 8
reaper energy on execute 18

Which would would have the highest damage output? Could I still get as much wraith from the other one due to higher crit? I should also point out that some of my other gear is crit chance boosting as well.

My guy is like level 13.

Wouldnt worry about any weapon on level 13. Hardly matters what so ever. There are Crow scythes lvl 15... 9% health and 9% wrath steal 50 wrath. Bhethir's Talons lvl 15 150% critical damage and special effect which does rather good fire damage. Black Demise again lvl15 10% health steal 50 healing and special effect which I don't even remember what it does. All I do remember is that those scythes were bloody amazing.
Wrath/heal per crit or on crit are all terrible. 8 wrath per crit .... you gain a flat 7 wrath on each hit with weapon. Thats barely higher then base. Only weapon that has per hit wrath and is worth using is Aftermath simply because its 767 wrath on each hit. Pretty much full wrath on each swing and 107 strength is also pretty good. But you won't get it untill ng+ because it requires beating cruicible. Also shock damage is.... well... its bad. Shock effect on lightning which does higher damage as dot is much lower % then from lower level counterpart shock... you barely ever see it. Also knockback effect from it doesn't affect most enemies. And any lightning creasures are actually immune to it. Unlike fire/inferno and frost/ice. Fire/inferno does same dot damage as shock/lightning respectively and fairly consistently applies dot. Ice freezes enemies and works on anything thats not a boss also slow effect is fairly decent too.

Right now I am pretty much spamming maxed out teleport slash and am pretty heavily using wraith. Thing is with the achinda's fangs is that it restores health based on crit. So my guy is pretty crit heavy right now. With that in consideration having a hard time choosing between the two weapons since one has quite a bit higher crit chance but less crit damage and quite a bit less wraith. I am finding that with teleport slash and the 50% bonus to wraith gain I can almost constantly use it.

Its a bit of a hasstle to chose on low levels since you don't really have access to anything noteworthy. Like I said I wouldn't really worry about it too much.
Since you went with harbinger skills. Concentrate on strength,crit damage and crit chance.
You can use stonebites to beef up crit chance and avoid the need to have it on anything other then amulet and still have 100% crit chance. Or if you aren't fan of random gear and want to go with abyssal armor you would still only need crit chance on amulet eventually. Just use something that gives you biggest bang for the buck.
And in the end damage will be more important because around lvl20 or so you finally get health steal/life steal which make any weapon with on hit/crit/kill look pathetic. With heavy str/crit damage you can litteraly fill out your entire health bar with 1 swing of scythe. Sure you won't get there right away but thats the point.
For now use what ever lets you go past things faster and with least danger, basically it translates into having as much strength and crit damage as you can find and making sure your crit chance is also there. At lower levels you are forced to have crit chance on weapons sadly no way around it. Later you can drop it. If you find yourself stuck with no wrath constantly get something to beef up on that department. If you can spam skills nonstop... better beef up damage so you don't need to spam skills and can actually kill things w/o needing skills.
