The way Grief is situated into the game is fine. Grief allows the heavy melees to be heavy melees, Paladin, Barb, and maybe SS Druids. Other things can’t really make use of Grief due to how their class skills are tied to requiring other weapon types to be effective. IE: Amazon needs javelins/spears so EBOTD is the route to take, Assassin needs claws so obviously Chaos is the needed, Necro/Sorc are just bad in melee in general, and even Mercs can’t use Grief unless we are talking act v which even with a Grief, would never begin to out-damage an act ii who had even just a Reaper’s Toll.
If anything, people should be asking for bugged damage display in the UI to be fixed so it displays the correct damage output.
