Haven't tried it. The DR is obviously great but I think the ED loss from not using Phoenix will suck but still probably viable in P1-P3

I got a lower Phoenix but honestly the damage difference with SS is only about 400. I’ll do some playing around

cranium basher

Never heard this. Can you explain

well I've done a few ubers. Here are my results:

my EBOTD GPA> grief +SS > grief + phoenix

will be purchasing an eth upped ribcracker next to try, but I'm thinking I stick with the EBOTD GPA

Maybe an eth tomb with nice jewels in the future

Id be curious to see how a Last Wish Thunder Maul or Ogre maul would do as well...

What all can last wish be made in.

My Ebotd thunder mail was super slow. I don’t think last wish has Ias?

If I ever get enough FG I’d like to try

It does not, but a beast / faith merc might do the trick if that ends up being an issue imo

so just did another uber.

I still feel like I like my ebotd GPA compared to the eth upped ribracker. Both are definitely better than the grief set ups i tired.

I have the most trouble with baal due to his phys immune minions. Has anyone used reapers or eth reapers on swap? Merc dies too easy to rely on him.

For uber you want a non eth shael'd upped ribcracker and nothing else outside of uber the best is a eth reapers.
