numa Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 the d spear is almost junk now compared to other weapons. i decided to experiment with it. being as rare of a drop as it is, jagex must have made it atleast have some use. so i spent 2 days figuring out what that use was (im perm muted so i have alot of time on my hands). the following have been attempted with a d spear p++, to see my stats look up numanuma1 killing armored dragons FAILURE! it is useless killing these dragons, using this will earn u an instant death unless u are using anti d fire pots and protect from mage. failure to do so will resuly in a 2 hit kill (for u of coarse) kalaphite queen (done in a group, 3 people other than myself used a d spear) this only works on form 1, for form 2 we did the lazy thing, shot poisen arrows and ran and waited for our 4 veracers to kill the queen. SUCCESS! it actually is usefull here, with 4 people using it (1 after another specs..) and 2 lunar mages here giving out spec energy it results in an easy kill, as the kalaphite queen rarely has a chance to attack, and if done correctly she can never attack. if group kalaphite killing noobs can actually be helpful. pking perfect... the spear is amazing for a quick escape, not only does it paralize them it also gives u a head start by pushing them back. perfect for pure meleers. aslong as u dont run out of energy ur safe. stay atleast 14 spaces ahead of ur enemy at all times, they might snare u! the spear is also good at lvl 1 wildy, keeps enemys from escaping through the gap by pushing them back a space and paralizing them. dds spec them once while ur fighting them, u wana poisen them so ur still damaging them while u push them back. combinding this method with snare is perfect, if they heal and ur out of special bar energy, just sara strike then re snare, sara, snare, sara, snare, sara, snare. they will loose all pray points and die so they cant use protect item. the d spear is a very useful weapon when used properly, if they were more common as drops they could be a part of any pkers inventory. jagex should really update them, the hold should be for 10 seconds and not 5, it should also have a 100% chance of doing damage at the same time and if poisened they will always get poisened by the spec... well, atleast the special never misses and requires no runes. [/hide]thats the end, the d spear will always be a part of my inventory when pking gota problem with my lazur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterxman Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 It's also useful in Castle Wars. It freezes flag holder for a second, or even pushes the enemy holding their own flag into the base if it's hiding at the gate, which makes the flag get safed and easier to grab again.

armadillo48 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I use my dspear more than whip in cw. Its the ultimate cw weapon and i never play cw without it. The spec is perfect when you're escorting your flag or stopping your own one being taken. Its my favourite dragon weapon by miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powman3 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 D spear is easier then entangles because entangles don't always work because of the opponent's magic lvl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya_Rly6 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 If it's so popular in c wars, then i might invest in one soon... I know that many people go for the d long and ddp++ wep option.

jessy87 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Nice double post ^^^^^^ lol I take it you've not been on many other forums. :P i take it, you are new here, and xbox is a veteran member whom ive noticed to be at least credible. you double posted, meaning posted consecutively with your own post. maybe next time, dont call some1 out like that? killing armored dragons FAILURE! it is useless killing these dragons, using this will earn u an instant death unless u are using anti d fire pots and protect from mage. failure to do so will resuly in a 2 hit kill (for u of coarse) metal dragons cannot be protect from magic'd and result in lessened damage, just pot and fire shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast647 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I'm pretty sure that you can't use dragon spear specs on the kalphite queen. I tried it before they changed the graphics on the KQ and it wouldn't work. Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rareghoul1 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 in some areas the d spear is the best weapon that you can have. take cw for instance. whip+d spear is pretty much the best combination you can have, just use the whip most of the time and spec a flag holder that's getting away with the spear. then whip again. other than that, the d spear isn't practical. i read the pking section, but my friend said that snare is more effective, since you have to wait for the attack with d spear. off topic here: you guys are ending up going into a flame war. and ya rly, tip it forums are 3 years old, and the website itself is over 6. it's not that junior, but what does it matter if it was? it hasn't had time to be infested by the majority of scapers, whom have kiddish attitudes, this is a generally mature forum.

ltb2006 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 In castle wars it can be useful..but pking i wouldn't say so. It helps evade attacks but instead of using a stun spec like the d spear you could hit anywhere up to 37/38 with a dds. Well maybe stun with d spear then spec with dagger would work :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaerehw14 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 The KQ thing isnt practical. Good luck trying to find emough people with d spears, then trying to find a mage that is on lunars to give up its special attack, then even after all of that, even if you DO get a chain... have fun splitting it between 8 people.

Danqazmlp Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 D spear is used in a few ways. 1) can be used to push people back onto the underground rocks, if youre quick you can quickly crush them while thier stunned. (great for killing flag) 2) good for defence, when used with ancients, makes it very hard for solo scorers to get past you or baricades. 3) If you manage to baricade infront of the flag and d spear it, it willusually disorientate them, and usually stop them from getting past for a good 20-30 seconds so your team can catch up. Also GREAT for fight pits. The second or two dizzyness the spear gives is great when teaming somebody, alot of the time they can be dead without even giving one hit back. Want to be my friend?

baalboy5 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I love using the d spear, for no moment duels I could use the spec and have fun with my hally <3 Don't you know the first rule of MMO's?

Imo a dds has the best mellee spec and i said up to for a reason. I mean i would rather have four chances to hit more than twice as much as usual than shove someone backwards. Most of the time a dds is more accurate than a d mace too. I take it that is what the 47 k.o was?[/u][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot the most fun thing, knocking people into the rocks under the middle section, you know then use a pot on the rocks, boom they're dead. Sig by me....
