    It's really cool, and somewhat rare of an item in this server. Let's gather up some information on the things that vary on the stats of this awesome sword, and also the builds it is the most suitable in. So, in my understanding and from the different swords i've saw (and based on some forum threads), here are the stats :

    250-350% ED
    20-30 attributes
    5-15% life stolen
    50% Crushing blow (fixed)
    30% Deadly srike (fixed)
    50% Open wounds (fixed)

    One of the things i see people NOT talking about, is the % bonus to attack rating. It DOES vary, although i am not sure on the exact stats. That stat is IMO underrated in this new and awesome sword we've been blessed to have. What are your thoughts on the new Grandfather? Do you prefer it over some runewords called in the past as "overpowered" and what is your opinion on using it vs some classes (in duels that is). Pros and cons on the sword? I've never actually dueled with it, so maybe someone would like to go into a more detailed explanation as to why it is good/bad. Cheers.

    Honestly I didn't know it had all that stuff. A pair of these and one has 100 % CB, that's pretty solid hitting.

    We received many positive feedbacks about the change because for such a rare item, grandfather was pretty useless and over the years people had more expectations (same thing applies to tyraels and templars which are improved here). We have yet to decide if all weapon options will remain as is but obtaining a perfect grandfather is definetly a challange and besides this the weapon is not available in webshop.

    its really good. finally there is an option for barbs in place of grief.
    many consider it BM though

    Arguments? Why do you think it's imbalanced? Please be more specific.

    Hi everybody. I'm back after a long time i guess. So, ¿this server gonna change some stats of very unique weapons or only Grandfather? ¿Why? Just to know, of course.

    See ya in game!

    U can't use gf /beast combo cause loosing mastery on 1 weapon is not worth it also beast grief is better overall than any gf + sword combo. For bvb both can use it so i really dont see what's the problem here
