no not yet, i'm looking for bases now


why does everyone say Grief is best? I would like to see some stats to back that up, cause right now i feel like both are equally good.


35% Chance To Cast Level 15 Venom On Striking
+30-40% Increased Attack Speed (varies)
Damage +340-400 (varies)

Ignore Target's Defense
-25% Target Defense
+(1.875 per character level) 1.875-185.625% Damage To Demons (Based on Character Level)
Adds 5-30 Fire Damage
-20-25% To Enemy Poison Resistance (varies)
20% Deadly Strike
Prevent Monster Heal
+2 To Mana After Each Kill
+10-15 Life After Each Kill (varies)

The above highlighted parts are the main reason that 'Grief' beats out every other melee item in the game. If you look at what 'Death' gives you, the stats really aren't that impressive. Death gives mass CB and DS, but you can get sources of DS and CB from other sources like Gores and Hilords.

If you crunch the numbers, 'Grief' wins every time.

okay that makes more sense, but you could get ias from other sources as well. thanks though we should leave this thread back to OP to post his progress :P

Oh, did I mention that last night I also found...



LOLOLOLOLOLOL

I think I have done somewhere around 400-700 runs (super rough estimate, some runs take 20 seconds some take a minute)

Sad thing is ber is one of the runes I need least right now... I think I will end up using it for CoH, but I need Lo first to make Grief so I have enough IAS to keep 4/4/4/4/7 attacks

Still just doing non-stop LK runs, will probably just keep doing them until I find a good collection of runes I need. Getting a nice set of lifer scs, hopefully will find a few more random bases or items in these runs too

I could easily find a boneweave armor for CoH, you guys think that would be a good enough base?

Ber! :o

I'd personally use a lower strength req armor to make CoH, but that's just me.

Dont make CoH! Save the Ber for Eni. Forty is the armor a zealer wants, not CoH.
