This works great
Just make sure you do have 20 base Axe Mastery and not an odd variant build

Use a STR bonus as though you were making him full Vita for pvp purposes
You know, reasonabley low, to maximize vita output


ok good I already had this character made on open, I just need to get an EDC onto it and it will be ready for testing.

I'll start now and then post the results when I find them, game mechanics have never been my strong point ( find actually dueling much more fun than theorycrafting i think ) so I'll leave it to you guys to do most of the analysing on the results.

good luck but do you have a way of accounting for not having crushing blow ( will be quite high damage vs a barb )

yes, i'm testing it vs a bab with xxxk health, cb removes a fraction of their health so its pretty obvious when I got a crushing blow

sorry for the delay, results will be up soon

Edit: Ok finally done, here's what I got ( took a while as i realised that to make sure it was grief/edc not beast that was hitting lol )

EDC:

1 526
2 604
3 643
4 197
5 220
6 557
7 459
8 436
9 631
10 286
11 258
12 497
13 468
14 488
15 611
16 628
17 586
18 566
19 357
20 488
avg 475.3

Grief

1 456
2 467
3 550
4 447
5 468
6 474
7 467
8 439
9 440
10 435
11 440
12 489
13 457
14 439
15 467
16 489
17 466
18 512
19 456
20 433
avg 464.55

used setups i said in previous post

Looks like grief damage is more closely packed in as you would expect, but EDC seems to be harder hitting. I guess if I followed tudey's guide to the letter and used all that +str stuff it would only favour EDC?

But anyway I'm of to work, I'll leave it to you guys to ponder the results ( if you have any questions about what I used pm me and I'll write to you when I'm back ).

ah u used low str?

well that explains it, its pretty clear the 400 dmg is being added after pvp penalty ( as you have a min of 400 after each hit with crit/DS and 50% DR cancelling out ), so more str would increase EDC's damage and do absoutely nothing to grief's like tudey predicted.

lol typical, you see a test that doesn't show the results you want and then you say this... not really a good way to thank him for like 45 mins of work is it?

oh well, I guess you'll see it yourself just make sure to post the results here

ok should've known you were trolling. One guy does a test and u ignore it for no reason, tonnes of pvp'ers have confirmed the superiority of the build yet you still ignore it and use an outdated guide instead
