Peronix Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I wanted dragon claws, couldn't get them through the GE, so I attempted to get them as a drop. I succeeded. [hide=][/hide] Been testing them at the duel arena for a while now. They're so overpowered it's not even funny. Seriously, you thought barrage+dds combo was bad? This is much, much worse. They're more accurate, They have more str, They have every bit as much def as dds+defender, and they essentially unleash 2 dds specials in one. Needless to say, I've been quite the center of attention when I have these babies on. That's not a good thing in runescape :P Anyway, rate/hate.

Peronix Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 I think I overreacted about the D claws; slightly. It seems that whenever you hit all 4 of them the first 3 add up to the 4th hit. So it really can't do any more damage than a DDS spec. HOWEVER, it's much more powerful than a DDS spec. Whereas with a DDS you get a lot of bad specials, with this that doesn't seem to happen very often. As a matter of fact, I can't think of a single time where all 4 splats hit where I didn't hit for 40-50+ damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkerlex Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Nice! Do you need that hard quest to wear em? or is it just 60 attack? 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Nice! Do you need that hard quest to wear em? or is it just 60 attack? 10/10 I lent it to someone who hadn't done the quest so yes, you can wield them without the quest. Oddly though she said she didn't have a special attack bar on them. So it's possible that you just can't use the spec without the quest; which, I guess kinda makes it useless because it's a spec weapon. *Points at your 99 Attack + Strength.* Don't give nubs like me without 99 (Or close to) Attack/Strength hope. :? That wasn't exactly my point. The point was I was consistently hitting at around my maximum hit. With a DDS, even with 99 attack and strength I will still, annoyingly, get crappy specs like 5-7 or something. But with this crappy specs happen far, far less often (again, when they actually hit; not counting the 0s); certainly less often enough to justify having only two specs whose maximum damage is only slightly higher that of a DDS + defender.

Peronix Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Is it good enough to have the price exceed 1-2M and maintain that price? I don't know; depends on how rare of a drop it actually is. I might have gotten insanely lucky for all I know. It's better than the DDS as a spec weapon imho, but I'm not sure if that justifies it being worth so much. It's total rubbish as a regular weapon.

You're certainly correct. Since I'm so nice I will take that rubbish weapon off your hands. ^_^ Hacked on January 5, 2007 --> Lost: 56.4M, Santa Hat, Purple Partyhat, Green Partyhat, Christmas Crackerpeople who get rich and do it legit like joob and I always get f'd over in the end.
