the only "safe" thing about lw is 11%dr from fade
grief triples your dmg which
1) triples your sustain
2) reduces the duration of the fight, which in turns reduces the chance of something going wrong


and no, pmh doesn't work against the ubers

Safest weapon to run ubers with easily! Grief for pure dmg! Stormslash can actually be crazy as fuck vs ubers also (static and cb)

6% Chance To Cast Level 11 Fade When Struck
10% Chance To Cast Level 18 Life Tap On Striking

20% Chance To Cast Level 20 Charged Bolt On Attack
Level 17 Might Aura When Equipped
+330-375% Enhanced Damage (varies)
Ignore Target's Defense
60-70% Chance of Crushing Blow (varies)
Prevent Monster Heal <- not sure if works with smite
Hit Blinds Target
+(0.5 per character level) 0.5-49.5% Chance of Getting Magic Items (Based on Character Level)


res are easy to stack with smiter
you get life tap with draculs
60-70% cb without ias sucks
no, ow does, you get from dracs

Grief is the safest weapon to run uber with since it's the most dmg.

Pretty sure you die more with 5% life tap that doesn't get up in time (than 10% lw + 5% drac)

Also with LW u dont need to use guillaumes and can go with COA (30 ias jools)

All 3 works great but sure grief is best weapon for overall gaming :)

if you believe life tap might not proc in time, you can just cast it with a wand at the start
or use exile as well as dracs

This.
I always used a wand on switch. UT smiter doesn't need a BO. If you really want one it isn't hard to have a your CTA in your inventory to swap with the LT wand as you shouldn't be needing a full inventory of charms.
