more than 1 grip?

Brayden · 11-10-2007, 08:36 PM

Greetings,

For a while now, Ive been using a Claymore grip (+3% crit) along with my Subduer/Tred Scythe full time. Ive got max crit merits, so it seemed like a decent build.

However a few weeks ago I obtained a brutal earring and recently bought a pole strap (+2% Dbl Atk). Im growing more fond of this setup and have started to use Tred more often than Subduer because of this.

My question then, is this: For those of you who use grips, do you hang onto multiple ones for different uses? Or pretty much find 1 you really like and stay with that?

I don't have much experience with grips (well, any experience above level 40), but I imagine that the same philosophy applies to grips as any other piece of gear. If swapping out pieces for various functions helps you perform better, than you may as well do it.

I've only used one grip so far, Brass Grip+1 because of the obvious gains from DEX and that's really the only (good) grip my DRK can use at my level (46). But I imagine if I could use other useful grips I'd carry more.

Objection.

I can prove it.

Well, I did say that I don't have much experience with them. I would have believed you even without a link. :p

It still might not be a bad idea to have multiple grips for different mobs, but that probably won't be necessary.
