Less Ias req and more min dmg = More versatility in build (more setups/life/resist)

GMB = more damage overall.

the less ias requirement isn't really good though since you need ias on jav side...so unless you have some rare javas with base ias...gmb is just better, period.


True though Diamond has it's uses for certain builds.

I vouch the statement that GMB is just plain better in most cases, especially if you count in FoI GMB.

GMB is better, but you might want to carry a diamond just in case for specific match ups that require swaps
