thanks, i didn't think about bloodfists it's a good suggestion

Exactly, otherwise i like the guide.

I wouldn't use anything but gris caddy...

also I think a jewellers arm is probs a better choice?

should mention mass frw is needed too @@

as i said gris caddy doesn't do quite as much damage as a good grief pb over a period of time, also i messed up griss caddy will only reach 4 fpa with 4 shaels in it, I'm going to calculate a botd pb compared to gris caddy later as i think it might actually beat it in damage over time (not sure)

jewlers armor? i don't have a clue as to why you think this, explain please

yes frw is needed, i stated this in the charm section, but there's no need to go overboard and use cats eye and nigma or anything like that which will destroy your ar and damage.

ok

nice guide, i like it

also another choice of gloves you might like would be trangs, it would help your venom damage, tho bloodfists would probly be better

if you find yourself not needing the shield for pvm try a beast, extra lycanthropy cant hurt + fanatacism for some more dmg/ar
might not need all that ar for every situation, tho angelics are great, added crit from hl or even using atmas scarab or the amp could allow you to do more damage

maybe add a section for mercenary?

thanks

cb gloves would probably be more useful than the extra poison from venom on grief, if you're facing casters then bloodfists is probably the best option but don't forget cb gloves can be very nice especially against melee chars

beast can be used but you don't get the damage from the extra weapon apart from the aura so it would probably be better to get a merc with faith or something , yeah angelics are nice and you won't need them vs some chars and pvm switching them around can get a little annoying but i would probably go for the deadly strike and lite res from highlords over atmas

I was thinking about a mercenary section but they are bm in duels and you don't really need one to get through pvm. However my mercenary is an act 5 one with eth arreats, eth shaft and a azurewrath (will switch for a nice eth lastwish when prices drop). Really you can chose any merc, act 1 with faith is nice for fanat, act 2 with might or freeze (both are useful) with pride for conc. I just chose act 5 because i've never used one (it also has the ability to hold lw etc for might and tap), act 3 is probably the only one that doesn't offer so much for a barb wolf.

also i forgot to mention in the guide that it's useful to have a treachery armor in your stash so you can prebuff fade making it even easier to hit max lite res against uber mephs conviction

cb takes a lot of penalties when it is applied to pvp, where as trangs would make your venom do another 56.25% dmg, since you're melee venom would likely cast but can also be resisted ofc

if you're using a5 merc you might try a lawbringer, it will have your sanctuary but also ctc decrepify

might merc with reapers is my personal fav for melee chars had to throw some of those in as response to last post

yeah ill try out trang gloves with grief, they're missing a lot of stats from my normal gloves though so i can't die

thanks for that on the lawbringer, i wasn't really looking at any swords, i will probably get that fairly soon

yeh that seems like a good idea for a merc

Nice guide.

Can you check your FHR table, I think it is incorrect.

with 42% FHR you reach the 5fps breakpoint
with 86% FHR you reach the 4fps breakpoint
