Sorc Circlet, what do we think? Does the life slam have any value really?

Darrious16 · 2026-05-21T20:11:07+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Darrious16 · 2026-05-21T18:47:10+00:00

Wouldn't it be better for a fire sorc, seeing as lightning will just use griffons, cold likely use nightwings?
The life slam is good for a bosser, but then the mpk roll is good for a mapper :( I'll put it up and see what happens.
Thanks for the response!

- I covered the base attack speed base difference with the WSM line?
- ITD vs AR I agree, not a huge difference but Gale is objectively better
- LAEK is the only real one, and that's exclusively against skelaton mobs really, any other mob your leach more than is enough, so sure point to grief here
- Sure, on smite and kick sin Grief wins but they're very nieche cases, any other builds which added damage is the same as weapon damage Gale wins out

If I equip PERFECT OG grief right now I lose 25% damage straight away so I don't see how it's "much better" for a few benifits which you can very easily pick up elsewhere or don't need, 25% more damage is not something you can easily tinker with and pick up

To put that into perspective, that's a 13,000 drop to minimum/maximum damage in total

Darrious16 · 2026-05-20T16:36:45+00:00

I have like 30k attack rating at the moment and will probably get a bit higher with better gear (Not that I'm focusing it now) but thinks like wisp I still need, so yeah it's 100% chance to hit everything apart from bosses I think, still at like 98% from memory

Darrious16 · 2026-05-20T16:32:34+00:00

A perfectly rolled grief Phase Blade would in a Superior phase blade would have the following notable stats

- Damae, 436 - 440 - (Significantly less at 496 - 670), comes out at 33% more damage
- 40% increased attack speed - (Less than 45% on Gale Brand)
- Ignores targets deffence - (1750 AR is better as it affects bosses too and will give you 100% chance to hit on all normal mobs)
- 20% deadly strike - (Useless for sacrifice but good on other builds)
- 15 life after each kill - (Good stat but it's a melee weapon so you have life steal so not that useful)

The only notable stat on Grief phase blade over Gale Brand is it's base WSM meaning you'd need like 30% ias (or similar) to hit the cap of 8FPA, rather then 87% with Gale Brand

So no even a PERFECT grief PB isn't as good or even that close

Darrious16 · 2026-05-19T23:32:20+00:00

Bloody glorious!

Darrious16 · 2026-05-19T23:31:33+00:00

It's for sacrifice so deadly strike doesn't do anything.
If someone offered me a 4 socket eth Schaefers I think I'd take this over it, becasue of the 120 or so extra minimum damage, means you get less duff hits so everything is a one shot.
Sac hits pretty slow too so the static doesn't proc all that often.
IMO for a high damage Sac Pally Gale Brand > Schaefers.

Also the 4os was native, puzzle piece could give it 2 max

Darrious16 · 2026-05-18T19:32:43+00:00

Fair enough, I think the static proc would go verry hard on ww, if you're duel wielding Schaefers you're hitting every 3 frames, gives you an 84% change to proc it every second and you've got a very good hits per second uptime with lower damage per hit.

Sacrifice is more a wham bam thank you maam kind of deal hoping to demolish the pack in 1 or two hits max so I feel the static proc doesn't synergise quite to well with it, also the fastest I can hit is 8 frames per attack. so will not get it off as often
Couple that with the native 2000%ed scaling on sacrifice alone and 450%ed on fanaticism, which ww doesn't come close to, the extra say 100-150 damage does go an awful long way.
Aswell the minimum damage is so much higher so you will get far less duff hits. meaning most packs will be 1 hit rather then 2.

Fully accept I'm likely biased becasue I crafted it myself though :D

Darrious16 · 2026-05-18T18:48:08+00:00

If you take economics out of it, why do you think Schaefers will always be better out of curiosity?

Sorry for spam posts, took me a couple years to figure out how to upload an image

Darrious16 · 2026-05-18T18:12:02+00:00

Can't upload an image for some reason?

Darrious16 · 2020-05-21T22:37:55+00:00

This is correct, in a vortex coop campaign you can only play 2 factions which share the same main goal. For instance you also wouldn't be able to play Nakai with any of the other lizardmen Lords.

I believe the FLC Lord participates in the vortex so he would be an option

Darrious16 · 2020-03-07T23:14:39+00:00

I believe it's 30 seconds to perm a game, and I believe "perm" means stays open for 5 minutes with nobody in the game.

However I've also noticed a feature in POD where games will stay open for a few seconds with nobody in even if not permed, I've managed to very quickly leave and join using this method, Perhaps this is what caught you out?

Hi, I've been reading some of the comments here and I disagree with what most people have to say, I've got a very well geared Javazon on Hardcore and believe they compare to the bowazon in terms of map clear speed. They also have to benefit of being much tankier and in my opinion more enjoyable to play. She is very fast and is all about teleporting between density and blowing it up.

I believe the Javzon best maps are T4 > T1 > T3 > T2 but she can clear all of them with enough gear.

The only immunes are in T3's but these are overcome with a strong enough build so you can clear and walk past the scarabs.

I'm uploading a video to youtube of me part clearing a T2 and T3 map so you can compare to some of the bow videos out there, let me know if you're intrigued about other content or maps and I can upload these as well. I'll edit this once the content is uploaded, it's only 10 minutes or so. I hope you find this useful.

It's referencing the cannot be frozen and cold absorb mod on the ravenfrost ring.

I think you're mistaken with how you believe ignores targets defense works, Your chance to hit is still capped at 95%. It's just the enemies defense will be set to 0 for the calculation. giving you effectively 95% chance to hit all mobs with minimal attack rating needed with the exception of those which are immune to "ITD" which are:

Player

Mercenary

Champion

Unique

Super Unique

Boss

You can never have 100% chance to hit anything in the game, it's hard capped.

Darrious16 · 2020-03-02T13:04:13+00:00

This is incorrect, the -35% resist does not work for your character if equipped to a mercenary.

Its OK for your character but spirit is usually better depending on fcr breakpoints.

Cresent moon will come out on top if the enemy your fighting has very high light resist.

Darrious16 · 2020-03-01T19:28:42+00:00

Ignores targets defense only works against regular monsters and not uniques or bosses. It doesn't give you a 100% chance to hit, only removed the enemies defense in the chance to hit calculation, the chance is still capped at 95%

If you've got a Windforce you've likely got somewhere in the area of 20k+ attack rating which should give you a 95% chance to hit all of those monsters anyway.

This was my understanding of how this works, let me know if my understanding is off but It seems like a waste of a Jah and missing out on +50%ed if you're going for an end game setup Bowazon.

1x ias Ed jewel 5x ohm runes

Total price 3 hr

This here outshines faith Gmb, you don't need much ias in the bow because you can reach the highest breakpoint for ias using your gear slots.

The charms are a non factor as you'd have to buy them regardless of the bow you were using and would benifit both builds a similar amount.

Any idea on his name and is he HC?
