Chaos - I think you're a little off base here. Let me explain. I'm looking to make a Grief. The purpose of using a PB is because Grief adds fixed damage, not a percentage - so the damage boost is coming from the RW, not the base. The PB base is desirable in this case primarily for it's -30 WSM, which is the same regardless of regular or superior.

For example, a normal PB damage is 31-35, and yours is 35-39. I roll a +300 Grief so a regular PB would be 331-335 and your PB would be 335-339. It's literally a miniscule difference. The %ED doesn't matter. It may matter to somebody for a different use, so I can completely understand if you want to trade it to somebody else, but with such low damage and a tight range, I'm not sure how much more beneficial a Sup PB really is.

Here is the price check thread for reference - scroll down to Socketed Weapons. I have 20 PGems if you want them. Otherwise, I understand. Thanks for posting.

It's true that any trade is about the value that the buyer and seller agree upon but I'd like just to point out that I think Chaos is not that off.

Recently I paid an Ohm for a 15os base and Fabian even more. Basically having 4~5 avg damage is like having a better grief roll. Some players do value that.

The guide has a price for a normal 5os PB.


parsetdx, I hope that you don't mind me barging in to post this. If you do I'm sorry and I'll ask Thyiad to delete my post.

Hi Nulio - no problem whatsoever - I appreciate your opinion and it certainly tells me that a Sup PB could have significantly more value than a base one. For my particular purposes though, I still consider the +4 damage absolutely irrelevant and therefore not factored into my valuation. I guess I will ask directly for a non-Sup 5os PB and pay the lower price - or just continue to hunt them down and cube socket until I find my own. Thanks again for weighing in.

Side note - Grief can actually roll +340 to +400 (my 300 example wasn't quite right). In any case, let's pretend we consider the ED as a way to "make up" for a bad Grief roll. The worst roll possible would be 340. So I roll a 340 and with this Sup PB I'm getting 4 more points of damage..... 4 / 340 = 1.1% more damage. In my opinion, that is irrelevant, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Yeah, for most players it probably is. Some others are just crazier and go great lengths for any improvement, even if it's a small one
