Grief Question

[dingoX]

Sorry if its an obviouse question for I have been away for 2 years.

The new runeword "Grief" has +400 damage, is that applied to the weapon's base damage? If so, wouldn't Grief be the most damaging single-handed weapons? (Assuming its socketed into a berserker axe)

Why do zealers prefer Grief, and Barbs use BoTD?

I believe that yes it does add the the weapon dmg but it will not show it though, also I believe it will add to the shield dmg for smite which makes it amazing for smiters.

Most zeal duels I have been in alot of people consider it bm, prolly cus of the venom, and I do see alot of barbs use it instead of botd, actually my ww barb uses grief zerk. Botd is still a great weapon tho.

i really dont get why people consider the venom on grief is consider BM, the poison damage is 305-325 in 0.4 sec. which after pvp penality and resist makes it so low that i won't effect the duel's outcome

Cuz people don't get good gears themselves and they just need anger management for their losses due to their inferior skills and infant like attitudes. I mean wtf would grief's venom do in such a low damage?
