Grief = Uber Tristram Grief = Ultimate Weapon in D2

Are you joking after 2007 and 2011 joined forums in this thread and still discuss about what melee weapon use to play pvm (alsp pvp if grief no banned in tours rules)??

You must joke seriously.


Simmer down, guy. He’s a barb. Everything I was saying was “ofc use grief” and for the other weapon you can play around a little bit. And don’t hate if people asking a question. Frenzy + grief + last wish + Uber trist = gg. No?


I guess the only GG would be 70%cb. Hopefully the CB would sort melee-static him down and then the high dmg grief (with bonus might aura!) would finish it.

Whats gg to use low damage item in second slot?

I can say than Grief + Anything you like to choose to hit low with your second hand attack.

"hate" ??? Where is hate?

Why losing time in such topics.. nevermind this.. this never ends ^^

Don’t you want last wish for Uber trist?




Why not 2hand wield a eBOTD war pike or tmaul?


He specifically mentioned cosmetic in his first post and I was just trying to give a cosmetic related answer ^^

Although cosmetics are subjective, Grandfather has a certain aesthetic appeal to older players that I was appealing to.

Grief is top, no question, EBOTD is better than Grandfather no question. But if you mow the game down on a Grandfather it's not only still easy but there's something special about it that Grief can never fill.

Grandfather is not upgraded, it's the OG elite sword. Doombringer can also not be upgraded, it's a noobie Grandfather.

Back in our day, the only swords were Grandfather and Cruel magical swords of Quickness with 3os (*larzuk could give 3os back then lol>>>WRONG<<<). So 200%/3os colossus blade or sword was considered number 1 for pvp and GF was best for pvm.

The reason I suggested GF for this particular case is because it's pvm and there are a TON of builds thast work for pvm outside of the meta. you can pretty much use anything in PVM. In fact, GF is overpowered by far in pvm lol.

I've lost my point. But I know that you are a gfg user who delves deep into trophy gear. So maybe you forgot how great and nostalgic uniques can be in general pvm ^^

as an edit to this post and on a re-think (toilet), larzuk didnt give 3os but you could get 3os on a magic by 3 chipped gems + magic back then. So it was never larzuk that gave it. Just a changed cube recipe.

I didnt say GrandFather is upgraded,
i said i had uniques swords for collection use too, upgraded from normal exceptionals to be elite damage.

Grandfather is gg best 2h unigue sword for baba,

Ofcourse doombringer can be upgraded friend and you can get it ethereal and upgrade it as i did and many other uniques,

Eth upg headstriker with its Deadly strike is another great unique sword.


Yes cruel magical 3 os swords very well known
and also Eth Zodbuged Fury Balrog blades
;)

I wrote a guide on BK frenzy combo around 2004 or 2005 which was actually pretty sweet but got removed by the site due to the fact that BK set is no longer relevant regardless of #1 build
