these calculations have been made 500 times already, grief setup is mainly better than a lw setup.. drop it

There's more than 1 way to kill the ubers. There's like hundreds. Unless you're doing run after run after run, you can use either setup and they'll die pretty quick. Grief is cheaper and a better all around weapon, and you don't need to get ias anywhere else when using a grief. Last wish has a lot of mods that you can get elsewhere, and is very expensive to build. Do what you want to, but if I were building from scratch I'd use grief cause you can use it on any melee character, unlike last wish.

U wanna tell me sth about DR? Its calculated in ALL sequences! I know - sometimes its hard for u to read posts of infidels completly - thats why i write it for u again in Bigger Letters.

LW: (the 0,9 is the factor for applied CBs, if applied its 0,9, if not its 1. Formula: (HP*CB)-Damage, Base damage before 20% DR is 2797,445

As explaination: 12,5% from base HP of Enemy is base "Damage" from CB. 20% DR = 12,5%/100 * 80 = 10%. The factor is 0,9 (100%-10% = 90% -> 90/100 = 0,9)! Thats whats standing there! Nothing else!!!

Sequence [34] + Sequence [55x2] = 144 Smites @ 6 FPA (4.1 Atk/s)= 35.12 Seconds
Sequence [33] + Sequence [51x2] = 135 Smites @ 6 FPA (4.1 Atk/s)= 32.92 Seconds

Well i also like this part. Combined with this:
and with your AWESOME setup you end up smiting them for another full minute trying to get that 1/8th hp

I hope u know, that 100% CB is always 100%. And the Damage of LW is always the same! It will take always the same time to hunt down the bosses - u don´t have the handicap of 25 or 15% missing CB like in Grief setup where u have the chance, that ur sequence goes faster - or slower. But i know - u are the MATH PROPHET - in ur calculation 100% < 100%



it's not venom, it's open wounds - 1st fail. and if u can't appreciate stopping approx
Should i really look for the topic where u wrote VENOM WORKS WITH SMITE? After this u made a thread "BEFORE U LEAVE US MACROS1102" trying to blame me with the argument that i don´t know that Venom works with smite. You were OWNED in this thread!!! Venom does not work with smite!!!

Need another example for u godness?

with hl/grief u reach max fpa vs meph and having the easiness of using salv.


two posts later:

yes, i didn't calc anything without fanaticism because there's no need for salvation unless you're a beginner in d2 who's having his 1-10 first ut runs.


Then tell me - Why do u use HL then??? U dont need it - you are an expert!!! U also don´t need the IAS - u have always switched on fanatism! A completly useless item then! If u use it to reach last bp without fana - then make ur SUCKING calculation with 509% less damage vs. Meph! (TROLL!)

Quote
this was taken under the worst case scenario. if cb applied anywhere before, grief would be faster and faster as CB procc'd more at the beginning of each cb-set-lines


Well WOW - one true sentence in two posts!

Thats why i wrote:

Quote
Not in each run (thats the problem with probabilities) - but through all runs played by all the players in the Bnet. (okay - i exclude d2jsp gods - they have their own maths)


Its nothing more then a worst case scenario, that can happen! The last wish sequence is always the same! Its the Grief setup, that can work better - or not!

Quote
and yes, grief > lw even in cost. 1 hr vs 5 hrs, are you really that mathematically handicapped?

How big is ur chance to get a perfect Grief (base of all calculations) with 1 HR??? Are u really that mathematically handicapped??? The lowest Grief CAN have lower average damage then crappiest LW! If u switch to salvation (-509% damage) - its round about 2k damage per hit (in worst case). (YY i know its 2xx% more damage then LW - math noob!)

there's no need for a perfect grief. a simple 340 grief beats lw by a long shot.

and your claim about lw being more safe is laughable. u can bo, fade proc, inv-res-stack, pre-lt with wand. what more protection you need? and i don't do any of those except pre-lt.

just stop trying. you're ridiculous with each passing post.

Think u forgot, whats the point of the discussion! NOONE says, that Grief doesn´t work, NOONE says that LW doesn´t work. U can prebuff lot of things. Thats not the question. The thing about the savety of LW is, that u DONT need to switch to inventory stuff. U can use ONE Gear to hunt down the 3 Bosses. No switches, no prebuff...The funny thing about your argument is: You show how USEFUL LW is. It offers u the stats from an additional treachery, an additional LifeTap Wand (incl. BoSwitch if u need). To reach LW´s safety u need two more Items! (they are cheap, but that doesn´t matter). 3 Items vs. 1 LW. And u wanna tell us its CRAP???

no, you're forgetting that i said anyone can kill the ubers, even with an iratha's set using paladin.
you're just trying to surpass lw as superior when in fact it's a shitty weapon, always has been, always will be.

see my thread, which is the 3rd time i'm suggesting already, or disappear already.

This post is a violation of the site rules and appropriate action was taken.

you're a newbie who relies too much on lw's "safety" to go through the ubers, when:

prebuffing a higher fade > waiting for a lower fade to procc = grief's safer that way
prebuffing lt with a wand > waiting for the lt to procc = grief's safer that way


like many here will tell you, all you need for ut is some cb, some dmg and life tap. you can even get away with -100 res. you hang your life and your neck on that claim thinking that it would make lw > grief, but numbers don't lie, unless they were made by a mathematically challenged raging troll like yourself.

LW > Grief for USmiter

Grief > LW for PVP

Thread

Grief lacks CB and is thus retarded for USmiter's makes u wear shitty gear with no res or teleport letting meph 1 hit u and rape ur corpse only a moron uses grief for USmiter unless they got mad res charms and wants to swap 10 armors to buff like idiot making LW 20x faster.
