Dunno what would be better... having 1kish other ele dmg (or mby 2k) or 400 dmg+xxx ed from zeal and synergy and fana.. quite sure this would be higher anyway :p
But do w/e u want. Both work anyway ^^


this variations should be tested face to face B)

probably - yes, grief offers higher dmg output

but... the only problematical monster in the game is baal for me :) (spending around 20 secs to kill him, due to lack of cb)
i dont see any problems with other mobs, thats why i dont wanna switch back to phys dmg weapons

ok, lets say:

if your dreamer use fanta as main aura then grief is better
if conva - azure (or other funny options like gimmershred or famine B) )

e: can u calculate approx. bonus from grief*ed with eni setup?

All of the setups works just fine.
Perhaps its even the best one there for regular pvm

Lets assume youre lvl 95. Eni adds 95*0.75 = 71 strenght which is 71% ed

A grief pb 400 damage does 431-435 damage (31-35 base)

You have 20 pts in sacrifice, adding 12% dmg per point, is 12*20 = 240% ed

Lets assume you have 15 in zeal after +skills, 15 pts zeal is 66% ed

240+71+66 = 377% ed

Min dmg: 431/100*377 = 1624.87 (1624)
Max dmg: 435/100*377 = 1639.95 (1639)

So end dmg from eni str+skills on grief pb is: 1624-1639.

(End dmg would be slightly higher cuz u put some stats in strenght, which I didnt count)

E; I could compare it but I am barely at pc thus I cant do further tests atm :( )

E2; With fanaticism the dmg would be higher too, as well might from merc

another fun option for the convict builds is eth baranars, solid mix od damages, 50 ias and 200% ar bonus is quite nice

maybe try Gtoe rather than gores for bosses, and or craft cb gloves. should help get the kill speed up

One question for max dream aura damage could this work? I want to do a dreamer but im unsure.

Your setup but with a 6x light RBF on phaseblade (use holy shock)
and conviction on merc

Ye. afaik Facets do work. But a 6sox facetted weapon means rly rly rly poor phys dmg. With azure/famine etc. you still have some phys dmg, as well other ele dmg (fire, cold, magic)

My last dream zealer hit for 11-13k.

death ettin
highlords
dual dreams
fort
arachs
bk
ravens
dracs
gores

inv was tons of 3/life/ar(or other variations), lifer scs and anything else i found that i needed like max/ar etc etc.

max zeal, sacrifice, resist lightning and fanat. rest i put into blessed aim, salvation doesn't add enough to warrant using it imo. with fanat maxed you get max ias or the bp right before it with ettin axe and you hit hard. I couldn't solo ubers but i never died to them however i had a smiter for them anyways. I used him for baal/chaos walks.
