Are the days of BOTD gone?

[Nazkool]

Hi all

I just started my new zealot. Now im wondering if he should be equipped either with a botd or a grief - can you help me there? I'd like to do ubers and at the same time be able to perform well in every other part of the game.

Before grief came up, botd was the way to go, i think. Has this changed nowadays?

a grief pb has pretty much everything. Less survivability than BOTD, but much higher average damage.

But some zealots still swear to botd..

if u use grief its not considered a melee duel because the psn and some other crap on their i was told and when u use psn ur not considerd a melee any more so some people wont even duel u then, they say its BM and will bring their own bm in then..

Poison has nothing to do whether or not something is melee. Its either ranged, magic or melee. WW, psn dagger and smite are still melee skills, regardless of the effects attached to them.

Besides, the venom on grief does so little damage its not even worth argueing about.

Is there even any such thing as BM anymore, I mean every class uses tele and auras now. IMO if someone says BM they are just a whiner.....
