hi guys, wondering if Grief Colossus Sword can now be a thing fore WW barbs, since it's higher DPS than 1h weapons and we can reach the 4FPA breakpoint with 89 IAS total.

PB is used because of no repair costs. I don't have the numbers in my head, but BA may be better than CS so why use CS?

because he wants to use it as 2H

point is though that a 2H grief does not do more dmg than 2x 1H grief no matter which base because the dmg comes mainly from the rune word itself. Also CS and BA have the same range, so I don't see an argument for 2H grief

dual wield grief > 2h for WW, in current patch literally always

if you like the style points of dual wielding 2h swords and don't mind repairing you can go dual wield grief zweihander or colossus sword (zweihander has -10 speed so a bit more forgiving on the IAS front)
grief BA is superior in almost every way because it has almost the same damage as CS but much less str/dex req, and 0 speed instead of 10 on CS.
