Unlike nearly all other weapons, it directly affects Smite, normally a Shield-based attack. This next section will discuss what classes and specs can make the most out of Grief, and whether you should consider using Grief with your Mercenary follower, what base items to consider, and where to acquire Runes.īest Classes and Specs for the Grief Runewordįor a Smiter build, this weapon is an absolute BiS must-have. Runewords vary on their suitability for different classes and specs, as well as utility for the various Mercenaries. Breath of the Dying is more powerful in 2-handed weapon choices. In a much higher-damage 2-handed weapon, a percentage-based damage modifier system is more powerful, so we recommend using Grief only in one-handed weapons. Grief is incredibly strong when placed in a one-handed weapon, where the lower base damage won't matter much. However, it does not affect Kick damage for Assassins. It's also the only known weapon that contributes its damage to the Paladin ability Smite, making it an absolute must-have for Smiter builds. Players can experience damage gains over 1,000% using Grief together with well-chosen auras and equipment, though these gains aren't easy to see in number format. Combined with traits such as ignoring AND reducing target defense, added Poison damage through Venom (along with reducing enemy poison resist), preventing monster heal, and 20% chance of Deadly Strike, Grief is an incredible damage dealer. It's a flat damage gain, not a percentage gain (note that it says +340-400, not +340-400%). Don't take the lack of damage showing up on the character screen as a sign that Grief doesn't "work". However, since much of this damage is invisible in the character window, many players don't realize what an absolute monster Grief really is until they try it for themselves. All of its damage piles directly on to the weapon's damage - the base damage of the weapon counts very little toward the overall damage of the weapon. Some players may discount it due to its glaring lack of %damage bonuses, but that's actually the hidden beauty of Grief. Grief's description may not make it appear to be one of the very highest-damage weapon Runewords in game, but it absolutely is a hidden powerhouses.
