Next chaotic

[Sylph]

After I get Turmoil, I'm planning to get another Chaotic weapon (longsword, maul, or crossbow). Already got a rapier, don't want staff since it's only good for people with 90+ Magic (from what I heard).

 

However, I do not know which one to get. I looked everywhere for a chaotic weapon comparison, and I found nothing of interest.

 

Stats are on signature (don't tell me I need 80 range for crossbow because I only need like 22k xp to level).

 

 

Take note that:

 

• I don't Wildy PK
  
• I go bossing sometimes (usually at least once a month)
  
• I don't want overloads/extremes yet (too poor lol)
  
• I only need 1 weapon; can't get all 3 because I seriously hate dungeoneering
  

 

kthxbai.

Maul for bandos and maybe waterfiends (haven't kept up to date with this so wait for someone else, rapier might be better). Cls for skeletal wyverns. Bow is for nex/kree'ara I believe, which you generally want 99 range for. I'm assuiming you go to bandos as it's a fairly common boss so I'd pick maul.

 

Not really sure where the staff being good only at 90+ came from, unless you'e referring to the fact that fire surge is the only spell which doesn't require an armadyl staff which is worth using (on glacors and ice strykewyrms - neither of which you can do even if you could cast the spell, but worth bearing in mind if you plan on being able to fight them at some stage and don't want to return to dungeoneering).

Get maul.

Can you explain how Maul is best? I know that it is, but how is it? :)

Not many uses for ccb. Maul>cls in any situation that cls>rapier.

maul>cls in dps on those situations. Not sure what you mean

[Vezon Dash]

The maul is a crush weapon, and there seems to be a shortage of crush weapons in the game. Therefore, wherever you need a crushing weapon, maul is the perfect choice. I'm not going to lie, asking why the maul is the best weapon is like asking why a bronze dagger is worse than a dragon dagger. It is just due to the stats. :thumbup:

So more DPS. Thanks. :)

longsword - only good for bandos/wyverns

 

maul - good for anything thats weak to crush

 

ccbow - in most cases a rune c'bow will work fine instead

[aerendil]

voted ccbow because it's versatile, and, without ovls, no point in bossing really. ccbow is good for ANYTHIGN you have to shoot a bolt at, and you are better off having 1 range and 1 melee chaotic, rather than two melee chaotics, its simply covering your bases,

 

Maul is only good on things like bandos, where rapier isn't accurate enough, and then, only good in max str+ovls+turm. even with that, i still onyl get like 55/45 against a rapier friend of mine who is also using max str.

 

tl:dr get ccbow its more useful than maul without ovls/extremes.

So a Maul is not good for Zil, K'ril, Graardor if anticrashing, Cannoning Slayer Tasks, WFs, PvP, and fun hits?

Maul is great for crashing/anticrashing, combine it with two claw specs and basically any gwd boss(excluding kree) is your kill.

I think the consensus here is:

 

1. You probably shouldn't get a longsword. It's has far fewer uses than the others, especially since you've got a rapier already.

2. We can't tell you for certain whether to get a Maul or a Crossbow without knowing more information, such as which bosses do you like to do, or do you plan to train Slayer etc. They're both really nice weapons (although I think the Maul is really fun :))

 

Also, how is it physically possible to have two chaotic weapons and at the same time hate Dungeoneering? That's some serious perseverance right there.
