Grief pb vs Grief Zerker

[XIJAH]

just want to know the why i keep getting told that Grief Z is better for pvp then a Grief pb when using a smiter, knowing full well that u will have to get 20-25 ias if u make the switch.
How much better is it really,, as i only get beaten by like 3-4 smiters i have dueled so far, and they all swear against using grief pb. could this be why im just losing to them.

cheers

Zerker has range of 3, while PB has a range of 2.

Though a PB won't feel the effects of slow as much as a zerker, the added dmg (zeal) or the added range (smite) shows that zerker is a nice way to go, so long as you tack on ~10 IAS. Added benefit, it requires mostly str, so no heavy points in dex. One might have max block, so likely enough dex (or close), but Zerker is still easier to equip.

they both have their place in different situations and it's very much a personal choice which way to go.

i use a Phase for pretty much all duels except vs some barbs and in some smite v smite matchups (but certainly not all).
