Lower average dmg, doesn't get 1.1% ed from stating str, has range 4 (see the picture) and a very high min damage so when you manage to hit something it hurts. I prefer high min damage on slow weapons. Berserk and concentrate also easier to axelerate on a grlorious axe but again to make use of higher range longer WWs are best. Eth GPA ticks all boxes there, reasonable avdmg + requirement while maintaining 4fpa throughout the ww.



Well maybe i give it a try if i find Zod.

For pvm, 2x grief pb is objectively the best there is for ww. But eth botd gpa is also a great weapon for ww. I chose gpa because of aesthetic and because no gg dual leech ring will be required. In addition, with 300+ to strength, it does excellent damage for ww and berzerk.

Just wondering because I run
Arreats with a Cham
Highlords
2 X grief pb
fort
60% rends
gores
dungos
5% bk
7% manald
Few skillers for bumping up ww and warcries

Seems like the damage just isn’t there in players 8

What’s better damage:

2 X grief pb

Or

Botd in an eth great poleaxe



Grief is the best DPS melee weapon in the game due to the flat damage and relevant bonuses it offers.

What about grief + broken offhand? I thought it copied your Mainhand onto your offhand for damage calculations

It does help the damage just sucks to lose the resists that come from arreats. Guess I just have to invest in some +5 all res scs
