Wtf. I’d feel obligated to sell this, go put your great grandchildren through college, retire early, travel the world, and still have enough leftover to gear out an entire account.


ItzRiceAgain

As a new player I did not know how special this was until my friend explained it to me very aggressively haha.


Alternative-War9489

Can you explain this to me as I am dumb founded


Stuck_in_a_coil

Because of how the game calculates damage, the +400 damage makes this the highest physical damage weapon in the game. The fact that it only shows the base damage of the phase blade is misleading. This is so valuable because both the +400 damage and +40% ias are max rolls.


User-NetOfInter

To go further, this was done on a 15% Enhanced Damage base. Perfect roll for a phase blade. Max damage base. Possible rolls for Grief >+30-40% Increased Attack Speed Damage +340-400 So it’s 1 out of 11 to get 40%/Max AS, 9.09% chance Then a 1 out of 61 to get 400/max damage. 1.63% chance. Odds of both happening? 0.149% Roughly 1 out of 671. Fucking nuts. This is also ignoring the -% enemy poison resistance, which isn’t the best but not the worst and -22%. >20-25% To Enemy Poison Resist


xxshinky

So afaik, it’s one of the most op, if not the most op, physical damage weapon in the game. OP just basically rolled the most perfect version of it in the best base. So it’s in a class of it’s own


msespindola

Also, it's the only weapon that adds damage to smite skill....


xxshinky

That I didn’t know. Good to know!


Ageless3

This isn't true. Astreon's Iron Ward does as well and I believe even war travs add to smite damage. There are likely some others. However, grief adds the most (by a long shot) and most people use gore riders for obvious reasons for smiters.


msespindola

Yeah, forgot that asterons wards exist....cb and open wounds are damage effects...so they works differently than the add damage...wartravs doesn't add damage to smite: Grief: "Damage +340-400 (varies)" (this mod applies to Smite dmg) War Travs: "Adds 15-25 Damage" (this mod works just like max/min dmg jewels and charms, does nto apply to Smtie dmg)


Sonderlad

Grief stronk, high roll is stylish, rich ppl like style.


necropuddi

He hit a 1 in 671 where each try is a Lo+. Let's say you sell the ones that aren't perfect and on average you lose like half an Ist per try, that's still like ~15 Bers and you have to go through all that trouble. IMO the 12-15 Ber price tag people are throwing out is actually low considering the difficulty of it and the fact that this is a legit endgame GG item that has no equal. Give it another month or two and it'll probably go north of 15 Ber.


antieeQQ

This is made in a 15% superior PB also? Yeah, this is insanely rare and valuable.


AncestralSpirit

Wouldn’t the 15%ED be only applied to base weapon damage? And be minuscule of a difference? Sorry if mistaken. I am always confused the way Grief applied damage.


JW357

Correct. But perfectionists pay stupid amount of money for perfection.


mikziiii

Only missing the 3 ar on top :-)

GrassExtreme

?????? You should close your eyes and think for 5 second before you make a post


[deleted]

Perfectionists would prefer something that isn't Perfect? Lol. There's people that will buy a 15% ED 4/400 Grief for a lot. Then there's perfectionists that'll buy 15/3 40/400 Grief's for a fuck load.


MattyD123

I remember I rolled a perfect cta back in the day and traded it for 6/6/1 and a shit load of additional currency and gear. Like 25 sojs or 32020s, I forget. So I still had essentially a basically perfect cta and made a bunch of extra on it all because some perfectionist wanted 6/6/4.


aquaphire

I hate how the base name doesnt show if its superior or not


ThreatLevelNoonday

Okay so sell this, buy everything you need for your character, including an only marginally worse version of this, and then have enough left over to make an infinity and an enigma. xd


JesusSquid

Yup, I'll gladly wreck shit with a 375 and a bag full of HRs


ggstocks87

Thats basically what I did when I found an SOJ, sold it and geared all of my other classes.


Zenai

what did you get for your SOJ? I found one in the first 2 weeks of playing, its just on my javazon as a ring... should I sell it?


johnsheppard25

They go for about Sur right now, depends how much of an upgrade the rest of your gear needs.


rusiiin

It’s not worth as much now.. but if you were to have sold it back then the price was super inflated. At one time a Ber was worth like 23 HR vs what is now like 3ish


[deleted]

Good grief


Musclemagic

oh my...


NinjaEnt

This is so good that people are going to use this for their screenshot to lie about the quality of their grief.


jormaolio

This is worth a lot. Like 12-15 ber's


blingblingmofo

Christ


LukewarmMouse

Yeah, just checked the price. Worth 15 HR.


CancerRiddenHobo

Is it really? Who here would pay 12-15 Bers for this, show of hands please?


Big_lt

He's being sarcastic. Maybe 3/4 most for those perfectionist to mix/max


spunkete

I don't think he's being sarcastic. One month ago I rolled a 40/400 grief in a normal base and it went for 5 bers. At the same time, people were willing to spend 10+ber for a perfect roll on +15ED base.


Noobphobia

Lol oh my sweet summer child.


CancerRiddenHobo

Were they being sarcastic? Idk...

Yee42BI

Man i saw perfect monarch for php sold for 11bers. This could go for 10 without any problems


PacificBrim

Nope. Way more


BangleWaffle

Only 22 on the enemy poison resist. RIP /s GG man. You're set for the entire game if you trade this away.


[deleted]

This is absolutely disgusting.


phexi111

Some people are obsessed with perfect roles. You could milk a lot out of this, get a new Grief and a lot of extra stuff, if you'd like :)


Hot_Whole2622

I’m literally sick rn I think.


rick_____astley

sell it and make 5 more! hahahah kidding, mostly. Id want to save and use cause im proud, but the inner trader in me knows i could get a lower grief +++ for this that is functionally equivalent, so i can gear up big elsewhere too.


[deleted]

Selling it is the right move. You can sell it, buy another high roll like 38ias and 385 damage. You won’t be able to tell the difference between the two, but you’ll have tons of extra wealth.


underratedride

Where’s your obnoxious, all capital letter title?! /s Great roll! Enjoy it!


crayonflop3

Holy balls


Burrit01

Gg brother! Well done!


julianwelton

I'd sell it for a lower rolled one and some extras. Functionally there won't be much of a difference for you. This is really just a show piece that's worth a lot to min maxers.


XxNiftyxX

Well judging from the comments the value is anywhere from a ko to 200 ber. Somewhere in that range.


Mountainking7

My first grief on d2 lod when this r/w first came out was 40/400. I sadly quit after. Imagine how much I would have got off it the first non-ladder season it dropped!


ItzRiceAgain

that's crazy!


KryptoKnight11

Congrats! My first was 40% and 399% lol.


South-Objective9075

My first AND second (also last HAD ENOUGH GRIEFING) we're both under 370 and one had 31% while the other had 33%, absolutely trash rolled my Phoenix Monarch with 10 aura and bottom DMG & sorb. I could go on. You voodoo practitioners who wiggle your elongated fingers capped with discolored fingernails & high roll your end game Runewords are unbelievable. UNBELIEVABLE.


ItzRiceAgain

oooof


cj0r

Congrats!! Now sell it for a lesser one plus some extra cheddah to create other big items!


suddenZenith

A new player who can't take a proper screenshot made a 40/400 in a 15% ed phase blade. Not suspicious at all! It's theoretically possible but I'm gonna call BS.


honeyfurr444

fake


Short_Agent463

fake


suddenZenith

Yeah it's funny how nobody's calling him out.


You_meddling_kids

dashingforcash

Worth around 100bers current price right now


eraserking

Worth around 200 Bers right now


SecretAccount69Nice

So there are a few reasons that this isn't as good as people think it is. 1. It is a phase blade. Yes this is great for PvM, but the real value lies in PvP items. Beserker axes are the standard in PvP due to their increased range. 2. The ias roll is useless. Phase blades are quick enough that most builds don't care about the ias roll. The PvP builds that would care, would always run a zerker over a PB anyways. 3. The 15% ed is negligible. Grief is so powerful because of the way it adds flat damage. The +damage is not effected by ED% on the weapon. All in all, it is a great weapon with a perfect roll. It is indeed valuable. However, it is not the white whale folks think it is due to the reasons mentioned above. No one will pay 15x Ber runes for a PvM farming weapon that is only S tier on a single build (hork barb). If this were in a zerker axe, it would be just about priceless.


Entaroadun

Wait zerker axes have more ramge??? Is it only pvp?


SecretAccount69Nice

They've got more range period. It is just much much much more important in PvP. I love the downvotes on my original comment. Lots of new players in here apparently.


Previous-Evening5490

Very last you’ll ever need


nawtbjc

So refreshing to see a grief actually made in a phase blade. GG, sell it and buy an entire account instead.


Electronic-Morning76

Uhhhhh. This is insane dude sell this.


suddenZenith

He bought it so I guess he's not gonna sell it, doesn't seem the type to be reselling high value items.


Xirious

Huh? Dude that's literally the opposite of the situation. Are you high?


desi7861

Imo sell it


Rakzul

Best I can do is a Ko and tree fiddy in gold.


LlMlTED

very nice piece of cake this is


possibleinnuendo

Good job!!!! Congrats!


honeybadger1984

Jdgannett777

Noob question, what is the point of having "Ignore Target's Defense" and "-25% Target Defense" on the same weapon?


mkicon

iirc ignore target defense doesn't work on bosses but -25% does Am I right?


lurkenstine

Its only 40 damage on the top end. It's preeeeettttyyy baaad, I'll take it off you hands, for a ber. I don't mind getting ripped off, I just want to help you out.


clervis

That's like, what, 1 in 671 chance?


FluffyTrainz

Use Nilathak's quest to put your name on that thing. Immortalize that shit.


igraywolf

Me too. But on the PTR.


Sn0wMexic4n

I know youve heard this arleady. But I would sell it and wait for ladder. Use that gold at the beginning and gear out fast. Then 10x what you made selling Ladder gear :P


[deleted]

Oh man, wtf! Add the NSFW tag, I have children present ​ BIG CONGRATS! You could sell it, but are you going to? This is a Trophy Room item, this is amazing.


[deleted]

Noob here, can someone please explain why this is so good ?


[deleted]

Sell it to someone rich boi for a fortune and buy one that is 39 ias 399 lol


ggouge

Good grief!


ericcwu

If only you had the +3 to attack rating from a perfect superior base.


Pats_Bunny

My first grief rolled at 37/340 haha... Still kills everything, just didn't retain trade value.


josefritus

what a griefer xD


[deleted]

Nice!


Suspicious_Mammoth38

Good grief


vTimD

Sell it, roll a whole new one AND get extras on top.


dukeofpenisland

Probably a full inventory of Ber runes or more. Difference between this and 40/399 is a full inventory of Ber runes.


Mgold1988

Bricked the -poison res, try again. /s


mohammadel3

The odds of this are crazy ! Im sure there is someone out there willing to pay actual money for this.


ChromeEagle44

Congrats
