Bro has really good taste in music

Azurewrath and grief pb is op early ladder

Yep, a ebotd GPA looks badass but...

Just play throw barb

50x better than ww

Just curious! What gear are you using for a throw barb?

Grief PB > any other weapon if you regularly hit up baal/diablo for this simple reason: Decrepify/Holy Freeze. Because Blizzard felt WW should be "fixed" by making non-weapon IAS affect WW, WW is now totally fucked if you get Decrep or Holy Freeze on you (seriously Blizzard revert this dumb change PLEASE, fuck you for ever coming up with this and not thinking it through).
IAS needed to hit 4 FPA WW with 40 IAS Grief Zweihander or BA when Decrep'ed: Zweihander 210, BA 337.
IAS needed to hit 4 FPA WW with 40 IAS Grief PB: 85.

Frame reached with common setup (40 IAS: 20 gloves 20 amulet)
PB: 5 FPA
Zweihander: 6 FPA
BA: 7 FPA

Zweihander needs 69 (:D) IAS to reach 5 FPA under 50% slow
BA needs 49 IAS to reach 6 FPA, 112 IAS for 5 FPA

I use Grief Zweihander on my Trav barb for the range, but PB for my general purpose farmer because thanks to Blizzards fuckery, PB is now objectively WAY better than any other weapon if Decrep/Holy Freeze comes into play. I cannot express in words how shitty this change was. They didn't just have to destroy 2H WW, they also had to destroy any Grief that isn't PB. Thank you so much for this D2R devs.
