How is this weapon compared to grief?

Hello guys, I have a question

how do you consider this weapon (will be shael'ed for 5 fpa) on a shapeshifter druid compared to a 100% perfect grief pb 3 ar / 15% ed?

pro

- more style

- more range

- some ar and life

cons

- much less damage

- no deadly strike

it will be used against BvCs, Shapeshifters, WW assas, and other chars with low defense where I need shield.

will the loss be really high?

post your opinions and thanks|||Daaaaaaaaaaaamn use that BA BA. Mad style points. Haven't played pvp in a really long time, but range tends to be important if i remember correctly. I don't think the damage will be much less actually, and your lcs will be a bit more accurate.|||That's one really nice axe I'd use it just for the style points compared to grief pb the avarage damage won't be as much IMO but my maths sucks so I maybe wrong . If you play on Europe and your wolfs name is 2 letters long and is lvl 99 I don't think I can tell you anything about wolves|||stylish FTW!|||Quote:

yes that's me

I made some calculations yesterday and the average damage difference is around 33% in favour of the grief, without considering its deadly strike.

Now it's a big damage loss, but yes I agree about the style :P

and I could always use both of them|||Welcome to the forum anyway < from the noob wolf, and yes style ftw vs bvcs I'd always use a range 3 weapon so grief pb isn't an option for me Have you done calculations vs ebotdz|||Quote:

Whut?! Damage much less grief is 431-435 without 15% ed that the Ba has like 300!! minimum damage less. The average damage is around 300 where as grief has 433 average difference of over 100 weapon damage different. And then the DS is not even taken into account!

But hell yeah that BA is really stylish =) Really awsome.|||You could use it for style, but it doesn't do anything that ebotdz already does better.|||@ Goths

True, I forgot that Grief is +dmg (not just +max dmg). Grief's average is much higher. But style points are just worth so much more.|||Range > Consistent damage. That BA is hot .
