redo grief?

I built a Grief and ended up with 35 IAS and 353 dmg *sob* - before I bought a 10% ed Phase Blade for Um. Would you redo the roll or just move on and play with it? (is for self-use on Frenzy baba)

Move on and play with it, definitely! Getting another base is not that big of a deal as wasting a Lo

TLDR: just play with it - it’ll be fine


I’ve re-rolled Grief like 100 times trying to get a perfect roll, best i got was 39/396 - But I’m also way in the end-game and am trying to min/max a WW barb.

For 95% of my time my Grief was similar to yours - it’s totally fine. The damage difference won’t be noticeable outside a high players count game, the IAS difference is only 5%, easily made up for.

Basic rule I follow is. If you're wealthy enough go for it, if you can still get other core upgrades and you're not as wealthy then don't.

Deffo reroll if you can afford it.

I have a 14/2 and a 15/2 base which I constantly reroll - need to see those 4's when mousing over.

BTW I might not be the best advice giver - I'm addicted to perfect rune word rolling.

I'm with Queegon. Unless you are missing an IAS breakpoint on main hand there is no point. Even a low roll Grief is a good Grief comparative to other options.

It's only worth re-rolling in perfect or near perfect superior bases (in my experience).

If you have hundreds of Lo runes though knock yourself out. Grief is hard to get a good roll though...

In all builds or also in Frenzy barb?

In a perfect base it might be worth rerolling but in your case it’s not. You could sell it, as is, at least for Ohm. Yes, it’s a loss, Um + the cost of invested runes, but would you rather have an Ohm rune or a base worth Um? You’ll lose the rune investment no matter what. I’m surprised you got the base for Um tho, I’d expect it to go at least for Ist, but nonetheless I’d still sell the base.

As far as whether you should work towards obtaining a better Grief, I’d say go for it, depending on what your rune bank looks like. I recall you posting about your first Shako a week or two ago, it sounds like you’ve come very far in a short period of time, but if you’re not swimming in high runes, it’s best to hold off and keep what you’ve got for now. Yeah you can do better, but you might not even notice if you do. A 350 to 400 Grief is roughly 15 percent increase, but when thinking about your total damage, with Frenzy you can roughly cut that in half if you’re using another Grief, you’re then talking 7 to 8 percent more dam. If your character isn’t real polished yet, there are other investments you could make that would result in a bigger gain for your runes. But eventually, yeah, get the big Grief, it keeps the economy rolling
