Xeones Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 I dont want to spend my money on the wrong things. Planning ahead can't be bad, can it? Please stay on topic and worry about your own stat-raising plans. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberthree Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Lol, I want to know who's Dharok's set you're using. The greataxe hits 3/4 times and while it is slow its power makes up for it. Use a (super) attack potion if you're that worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeones Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 LMAO... maybe 3/4 times against monsters, but not real people. :shame: Let's just say this... :-k In Duel Arena, Verac's > Dharok's. :| In everything else, Whip/D Scim + D Sq > Dharok's. :| I was mistaken to consider it in the first place. :wall: Accuracy and speed are INFINITELY more important than power. \ Whip = 20, 9, 0, 18, 20, 5, 0, 17, 0, 0, 21, 14, 0, 3, 7, 18 Greataxe = 0, 0, 35, 0, 10, 0, 0, 0, 40 ANYONE HAVE THE SCREENSHOT :?: :?: :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberthree Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 maybe 3/4 times against monsters, but not real people. I've spent hours watching fights at world 22. Its works. And not many people pray at the arena so I don't see why you have Verac on the brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeones Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Because it hits through armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smapla Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Okay, uh lots to read here... You're right (partly) about dharoks -- usually the high hits aren't very frequent against other players, and a whip would be better. The thing about dharoks is that when you're using it, you're hoping to get two high hits in, in a row. A player simply can't eat fast enough to counter twin 50s. If you're dueling like.. a ranger or a lower leveled warrior, that'd be the time to use dharoks. When you're pking, it's a completely different game than dueling. In dueling, you won't lose your armour if you die, so you see people using full ahrims / mage book / fury, etc. If you pk in dharoks, you're going after people in full rune (mostly). (Dharok vs Dharok fights are completely random). Then you have the benefit of higher defence, etc. In short fights like dueling, I'd take torag helm over verac, since you probably wouldn't even use up your prayer in that time (unless food was on). hanks to all who helped me, especially Smapla. I am definitely going with Full Verac's, with Torag's plate and legs in PvE. Unless, of course, Smapla proves me wrong somehow. Okay uh... If you're going up against a ranger, i'd go with that (but whip not flail, right?), but if you're going up against a warrior -- possibly in barrows armour -- do you plan to still use this hybrid of armours, or full veracs? The verac special effect is very powerful, and it'd be best to use full veracs, even though it gives less defence. I'd also like to point out that Dharok and Torag have identical plate and leg stats. So, perhaps you could substitute dharok armour components for every time you said Torag; then when you have more money, you could have both verac and dharok. The only thing torag has on dharok is that the helm is cheaper and has slightly better stats. The torag helm is great for tank ranging/maging, etc, because it's so cheap and is like having rune legs strapped to your face. sorry my post jumps around so much, I just kept scrolling through your questions and thoughts and answering them as I thought of answers. and about the helmet of neitzoit, at lower levels defence is perhaps more important than a strength bonus (barrows helm vs neitzoit), but when you're higher leveled, higher strength bonuses are quite sought after.

Xeones Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Let's take a vote. Full Dharok's or Full Verac's in Duel Arena??? I've watched many fights, and Verac's owns Dharok's 8/10 times. Verac's is also good against higher armors because it hits through them. Verac's: 1 Dharok's: 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smapla Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Dharok fights are very unpredictable. I'd say verac is more reliable, against any random player. edit: just have to point out that the verac special (hitting through armour and prayer) randomly occurs; it doesn't happen every hit.

Xeones Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Pfft... twin 50s... not gonna happen too often. If I'm dueling a ranger or a low-level warrior, that would be the time to use my hybrid armor and whip! About Torag's helm > Verac's Helm... I'm getting full Verac's anyway, so I'll just stay with Verac's Helm. If I go up against a ranger, of course I'll use my whip! :D If I go up against a Warrior, possibly with Barrows armor, definitely the full Verac's!!! I'm not planning to get full Dharok's. I don't want to save up for it either, because even if I have it as a side armor for low health, I'd rather use a Whip. Another reason is because the repairs will pile high and fast. Rune legs strapped to your face... LOL that's a good one. So I guess it's settled. Verac's FTW WOOHOO! EDIT: I know it doesn't happen on every hit. But I'm sure it happens more frequently than a full Dharok's guy hitting a 50. I feel that Dharok's armor is one that you get for fun. It's an armor you get to brag that you hit a 50. Other than that, I like Verac's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpieman2 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I heard from hundreds of people that Verac's always wins in Duel Arena unless up against Ancients. Dharok's Greataxe has a GREAT strength bonus, but a NOT-SO-GREAT accuracy and speed. Full Dharok's at max health is near-useless. Also, can someone post a screenshot of a character wearing Torag's Platebody, Torag's Platelegs, and Verac's Helm? Or should I start a new topic on this? True, and guthans beat veracs like veracs easily beats dharok. (dh beats guthans easily) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and guthans beat veracs like veracs easily beats dharok. (dh beats guthans easily) Guthan's completely blows in a Duel. I agree its great for killing NPCs, but arena fights are so quick that the set effect often doesn't fire during the fight. And if it does, you're still using a rather weak weapon against a flurry of DDS specials, whips, and other various means of loosing massive amounts of HP quickly. Now that I know about the armor part of the Veracs effect I can see how useful it is....But I've seen a guy in Guthans get owned 10+ times in a row because his warspear was to slow.

Actually I've heard it's pretty good. Guthan's spear isn't actually all that weak, and every time you heal, it's like you're getting another hit at them.

Xeones Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 OK, great, it can help me raise strength. I'd rather do it with my Dragon Scimitar anyways. Thanks for the fast, helpful support from the guys at this forum!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeones Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Two more things... Would it be smart to use the d b axe special with my Full Verac's while fighting another warrior? Verac's already has low defense, I'm not sure if I should lower it even more. I don't exactly want to use restore pots in dueling unless I'm staking. Also, while using the d b axe special... should I use it every time the special bar recharges then take a restore potion? That would mean a restore potion (4) would be gone in 20 minutes. Is this efficient??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erk02 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 By other playing, do you mean pking or just training? Because dds spec is quite powerful, and all pkers use it. D baxe is really only good for the spec. I do English to Japanese and Japanese to English translation for free! Just keep it under 5 sentences, and PM me to use my fluency in Japanese to your advantage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaus703 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 If you wish to boost your strength you could use a super strength potion, that way you wouldn't use up your special bar. Barrows drops: 27 - 2 SpearsDragon drops: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
