LW is only good because of the cb.
If you want to have life tap, you can just shop a wand with charges, assuming you for some reason desperately want +2 of an assa tree instead of draculs. It's cheaper than 5 hrs.
If you want the fade proc, you can get it way cheaper as well.




You will clear ubers faster with a low dmg weapon + high cb than with just a high dmg weapon. CB doesn't just help in ubers - it's doing the majority of the damage



My opinion: Grief is better in almost every situation, but if you want to clear ubers really fast, and have the correct items, LW will be slightly better.
I'd recommend spending 30-60sec more time in uber trist and using the 4.5 - 5 hrs to make a full new char



If you are using the best setup, which is grief + guillames + goblin toe + 10cb gloves, you will clear Uber much faster than any LW build.

The provlem is that CB is incredibly easy to get from gear slots that do little for smite as a whole.

There is no way from helm + gloves + boots to add 400 min and max damage to your base shield damage that is then scaled by all your ED%.

Grief > LW.

This shit has been mathed to death for 18 years. And grief has always won.

VS

Fight! :rofl:


You were the one who said CB is not a must for ubers, essentially stating LW would be good without the CB. The other dude most likely meant that LW is bad as a whole item, which are 2 completely different things.
Also you were the one who forgot that charges for life tap exist, i just reminded u of that.

Would be nice if you wouldn't mix things up

Isn't the fastest uber ever done by an assa with LW?
Anyway i never meant to say 100cb > 60cb in every case. I compared having cb with not having cb, because the other person basically said cb wouldn't be important at all in ubers, stating that it's all about life tap.


edit: Found a telesmiter build on youtube that works with amp damage proc and a phaseblade with 4x ber runes and 2x shael runes. UT takes less than 30sec with it.
Another build works with assa and LW and amp damage proc. UT took less than 25 sec.
I guess even without the amp damage you could get it done pretty quickly ( and safer )

Yes LW works well on kicker.

But grief doesn’t work with kicker

Or grief would be better with kick than LW

But stormlash works better with kick than LW

CB is not a must but it helps. This is what I wrote. Read what I wrote again. thx.

Have you tried life tap charged wand on kicker while ubering? I won't have the time to use it ;)

My weapons atm are Stormlash (eth) and Fleshripper (pskul) btw.

And back to the topic, Grief or Last Wish. LW is the only choice on Talonsin, if there are only two options.

P.S. dmg from Grief doesn't work with kick🦵

Sorry but nope.

I can even say CB is not a must. Think about what makes Grief a great weapon. Its raw dmg. Yes, dmg kills. CB just helps, even vs Ubers.

Then what is a must vs Ubers? Life Tap (along with Open Wounds).

There are only two options here for non-pally characters: Draculs and what? Yes, Last Wish.

(Marrowwalk is not an option for Talonsin)

You can equip +2 MA gloves if you wield a LW. +2 MA means more dmg. And Might aura from LW adds dmg too. Yes, dmg kills.

And LW offer CB as well. Yes, it helps.

And fade from LW means some res and dr.

VS Uber Meph, Non-pally characters need 300 res (310LR is preferable if you use tgods), as they have no way to use higher lvl conviction, btw.

Try another chars vs ubers. It's fun😊


might adds marginal damage

life tap can be acquired by easily shopped wands / draculs

fade can be prebuffed with a cheap treachery

lw never makes any sense whatsoever. even if grief wasn't in the game, there's plenty better options than lw. keep wasting your fg if you feel like it though

so in your hypothetical, the option is either last wish or last wish? okay?

I'll repeat, there is not a single actual scenario in this game where you would go with last wish over any of the other signficantly cheaper and more effective weapon options

I Apologize. I expected you too much.

Depends on characters and skills :)

last wish isn't the best weapon for a kicksin, so why would you ever consider it?
