Which is the better weapon for smiter, predominantly for killing dclone?

Grief overall for kill speed, else you have very low dmg outside of CB so it takes forever to deal the last 10% of dmg

But LW is a good QoL option that offers flexibility since it includes ctc% lifetap and fade, as well as already high CB%

I'd go grief :p

you have 46 average base shield dmg
plus some ~100 dmg from HS, lets say 104 for a clean 150 total dmg

grief adds up to 400

550/150= 3.67x more

Thank you.

Based on what everyone is saying here....i guess that last wish i bought wasn't such a good idea after all for a smiter...

Yeah LW is generally known as an expensive noob trap
It's "ok" in some situations, but never really great

What you could do tho, is buy ANOTHER one and put both on a a5 frenzy merc.
That merc then becomes a tanky mofo that triggers life tap, with high CB% and lvl 34 might to buff you.

The question is... do you want to make the same mistake twice? :p
(that merc can be fun on a smiter haha)
