I was talking about a player that will never have grief, me for exemple. I think it's not fair to not take into account the huge At (1400+) and the +2 all which give more DMG via skills and also the two other trees.
Not every players play with high RWs


if you play on bnet you now have enough fg for Lo ;)
And if SP, just grind that LowerKurast ..
On topic, i like your item, would use till grief

I do play on bnet Europe HC, if it's only for lvling it's still something.

Unwanted to use it so bad for frenzy barb, with another sword like azurwrath or something, that I can afford.
I usually use my fg's for low torches.

Ah well , instill love it, will at the very least I'll lvl with it.
.just few last questions :
.
What lvl will it be when I'll up it ? First time, and second ?

Anyone can find a Lo rune just run lower kurast about 500-1000 times.. its a lot but its super easy.
Either that or cube up to a Lo with the vexes and ohms youll probably find

Excuse me to insist, but when I'll up it, will it be the lvl from the base or will it be way higher levels due to the mods ?

I have never upped a rare.

Yes the level req will increase and for that sword double upped it would probably be like level 67 req or around there

Thanks.
It's nice to see how active and reactive are players in this community.

Hence my whole point about cubing up to a Lo with what you find in LK but people still find Lo’s there, it could happen to anyone. I have bad luck with Los though in general.

note how i didn't say that grief is better, i said grief is 3 times better. Not 20% better, 200% better. Which leaves a lot of room for weapons in between.
up headstriker has more dmg and 100% chance to double dmg for example.

a 140dmg weapon isn't useful no matter how much ar it gives

All rights, I guess you got valide points, even if I think Ar is crucial, reason why you see a lot of player using two slots Amy + ring , angelic's only to get ar, they sacrifice two important slot only for at, at lvl80+.
Heavy hitters with 5k ar misses like 2 hits on 3 on every bosses and uniques monsters.
Phase blade is way faster than broadsword and has very consistent damage, I used headstriker before, it's slow and DMG can be very good or very bad, and it really lacks ar. I am absolutely sure this rare is way better.
+2 skills is extremely strong, it's not one tree, it's the third.
I will give an exemple : lightsaber, Can seem ridiculous but it works, and it is only itd, which is , for me, bad. You don't need to touch white monsters, you need to touch uniques and bosses, and it's about your at.

But yes runewords are overpowered and rares, as uniques, can't compare.

I still think the ar and the + skills are crucial on melee chars, especially in HC where you need consistent DMG with leech, so you need to hit.
You touch, you have consistent DMG, your leech is regular and safe.
You miss 2 hits on 3 on a boss you can die.
