GFG worth it for sham?

This is an excellent point, since items like the GFG are totally liquid. I think it's just a question of how much TunnelQuesting you want to do. Personally I'm not a huge fan of TunnelQuest, and the time it would take to buy/sell only gives you a slight increase in DPS overall.

But I'm sure someone could make some educated guesses about how much leveling time the GFG's slight increase in overall DPS will save between 25 and 45 vs. how much time it takes to buy and sell a GFG (and run from and then back to your leveling spot each time) ... I'm just too lazy. I'd imagine that the numbers are close enough that it just boils down to, how much do you hate the tunnel?

But if OP likes the tunnel a better weapon is probably going to be the best bang for his buck until the JBB. The only better use I can think of is maybe a SCHW (2k and probably adds less overall DPS than the GFG, but I'm too lazy to math) or AC/HP rings, both of which are super liquid. Normally I'd value even the slightest DPS increase over any amount of stats, but those rings are just such a good deal for the stats they give.
