Yea, I was wondering about "Grave Intentions" too. Even while clearing, a 25% chance to gain Unholy Might for 4 seconds will have a VERY low uptime if you look at how many Zombies we have. Just think, even if there was a way to guarantee that the Zombies take turns killing, with 14 Zombies they would need to kill 56 mobs every 4 seconds for 100% uptime. Even 50% uptime is a crazy thought. The

In reality I would say it is much closer to maybe 20%, 30% if you are very optimistic, overall uptime. 30% uptime would mean on average we have ~10% more damage from Unholy Might. And for bosses it of course does absolutely nothing.

It would be ok if there were not these huge costs. We lose consistent 25%! more damage from not using Brutality, Maim is less effective, and we use 6 passives to get all that.

Nah, I will spec out of Grave Intentions. If I notice my minions dying because of the lost resistances, I can get higher resistances, 37% minion life and 15% phys reduction (to make up a bit for losing Fortify) from Indomitable Army for 5 points. And I get the much higher overall damage from Brutality.

If you are looking at Brutality vs Melee Phys, Brutality only does ~6-7% more damage (~18-19% more if swapping from Fortify). You cannot just add the increase and equate it to a separate more multiplier. Still, that is a significant amount of damage. Pulverize and Bloodlust are also both in the 59-60% more range, both with their own stipulations, and depending on how high you scale minion gems, Minion Damage and Deathmark (with target) will get up there.

Of course, I never seperated the multipliers in my head, I just failed to mention that explicitly. Have you ever considered getting Indimitable Army? 5 points, you save 6 from not getting Grave Intentions, and overall it would more than make up in terms of minion survivability. I just think it is both, a defensive and an offensive gain to take that, drop Grave Intentions and use Brutality.

Guys, BEFORE you craft your maces, plz 6 link them. Use perfect fossiles for 28+q and craft accuracy+qlauity for like 46+q. 6 Linking will be much much easier this way. THEN start crafting for maim+1 gems.

Btw, can some1 explain to me why we use multistrike ? I get like 70k more damage with brutality in there. Yeah i dont have grave intentions cuz it shit. Does PoB not calculate multistrike correctly?
