With the common setup, ie Grief plus 20IAS gloves, PB Grief can do 5f (yes 5f, D2R has messed up those thresholds), while BA can still only do 6f
I know BA has one more range than PB, but since PB hits 1f faster, BA is no longer the default weapon choice for GM smiters

can you please explain how d2r "messed up those thresholds" so pb can get 5 frame?

Show proof they fucked up the frames bruh

why would smiter ever use ba instead of pb

How do I know lol maybe due to game running in different frames (OG D2 runs in 25fps, and D2R runs in 60fps)
Not just PB grief, dual claw sins can do probably 7f trap laying speed when using BOS compared to 9f in OG D2

because BA has 3 range and PB only has 2

so what you're saying here with that huge red title is that oficially grief ba is shit and pb is the new shit on the block? dat's huge news. finally smiters can use phase blades...

no I didn't say BA is shit
I'm just saying BA is no longer the default weapon choice for smiters
in some cases 3 range 6f is still better than 2 range 5f

holy freeze tapping alone makes pb better than ba imo

also i dont think they changed anything to the underlying game engine. so it might just be visual bug.

if its actually a bug they will surely fix it
