That's why we use maxed battle cry on Mephisto. I could do the test with a demon limb charge but in general, even real frenzy barbs don't get enough attack rating for the points spent in mastery and frenzy skill.


aah okay good to know :thumbsup:

i think a2 merc will be still hard to beat on travi runs mb if changes will come like a5 can wear axes (beast) or if better sword bases colososus blade or balrog blade could be used...

Here's a pretty knowledgeable content creator who's come to the same conclusion as I, that a single weapon is duplicated, and that the dps is being doubled. altho he also mentions that grief dmg is being doubled (I didn't think the bug applied to + dmg) and didn't mention any weapon swapping bugs. I'm going to be retesting the 1x grief setup, the slower times may be result of weapon swapping.

I'll make 10 runs with 1x grief. 10 runs with 2x grief. His results don't match with mine. I used 2 perfect grief pbs both times. There shouldn't be a difference if the weapon is just copied.

I can imagine some weird thing where the +X damage or Deadly Strikes becomes "global" somehow.
Would be odd, but I can imagine it.

he has a longer video with some more explanations. +max dmg is multiplied by x3, so this may change my prior calculation a bit. headstriker might still be better.

ran the numbers, wifi is down so can't show full results.

perfect +400 Grief Pb: 520 avg base dmg, taking into account 20% Deadly

perfect uppd eth HS with +30 max: 1055 avg base dmg taking into account 100% Deadly.

This doesn't take into account that grief is way faster, and has additional damage to demons, and the prior testing by babun didn't have +max jewels and probly not at lvl 99. still, these factors don't seem enough to make up for Grief doing nearly half the dps, yet still winning out on time vs Meph. very puzzling.

Maybe the damage to demons also is scaled x2 like regular ED on 1H weaps for A5 merc?
