ethereal edge, hunh, what's it good for

I've now found two of these things:

Ethereal Edge
Silver-Edged Axe
Two-Hand Damage: (232-260) To (412-461) (322-360.5 Avg)
Required Level: 74
Required Strength: 156
Required Dexterity: 55
Weapon Speed: [0]
+150-180% Enhanced Damage (varies)
+150-200% Damage To Demons (varies)
+270-350 To Attack Rating (varies)
+25% Increased Attack Speed
+10-12 Fire Absorb (varies)
+5-10 Life After Each Demon Kill (varies)
Indestructible
Ethereal (Cannot Be Repaired)*
(Only Spawns In Patch 1.10 or later)

Both are in the middle of the ranges. It's nice that it's both
ethereal and indestructible, and the bonus to damage to demons is nice,
but I can't think of a build I'd want to make around one. Any ideas?

How about a barbarian that has one of those Fury Visors (Howl Fury?)
with the werewolf, lycantropy, feral rage.

My barb AxmnsterShythed is heading into hell at level 72. He will grab
his edge when he hits level 74 and grab his helmet at level 79 and try
it out. Plus he is an axe barb with screams.

I am expecting that it will do well.

other/better options.

Heh, after finding two parts of the Immortal King set, I decided to
build a WW barb, buying the remaining parts with my former glut of
perfect gems and an Um rune I had around. Wow, suddenly now I can
finally do some solo hell Baal runs.

Anyways, last night I found a Messerschmidt's Reaver. Since I'm not
too interested in building a werebear, i guess that I'm in the same
boat. If I was to find an elite item, I wish I would have found some
decent armor for my other characters instead.
