D mace is alot better than dds for pking yes?

[Neilson1111]

This morning, I was at bounty hunter(Yes, I play bounty hunter in the morning, it's my coffee, wakes me up)

 

 

 

Then, I looked at my d mace and dds. I thought: I should use a d mace for once....

 

 

 

So I tried.

 

 

 

Guess what?

 

 

 

I found out that the d mace is really better than the dds( In MY personal option) during pking.

 

 

 

I always hit 2/4 of the specs with the d mace, and I hit a nice 50 and 40. Got corrupt Zuriel top >.>

 

 

 

I then tried out dds, missed 2 specs, and dealed a 27/3 and a 30/0.

 

 

 

Then I saw someone pk another guy dealing a 27/23 spec. Although that looked like pure luck.

 

 

 

I think d mace is overall better because it's crush, and rune pl8 is weaker to crush than stab.

 

 

 

The spec also makes big hits, like 50's. Making the hit's look intimiating( to the unexperienced pkers)

 

 

 

So whatcha guys think?

 

 

 

( I know dds can deal a 38/38 spec,but really, you see that commonly? )

I'd stick with a DDS if I had to choose between the two. I suppose it depends on your stats as with a high attack & strength level the DDS is likely the better choice. I often see people hit a low 30 and high 20 on their specs (those with high attack/str). I imagine the speed of the attack also helps as it can catch the opponent offguard. I'd choose the DDS, but that's just me. :

I can't wield D mace so no.

[TheValeyard]

If you get lucky, but generally damage output is higher with the dds and it can poison.

[Danqazmlp]

Isn't d mace alot slower between specials than dds though?

[TheValeyard]

The animation is quite slow as well.

Not that it really matters but i have tried using the rune mace in f2p and it doesnt do any better then a rune scim. Even though it has more cruch attack.

OT:OMG you post on Tip it?

 

 

 

Anyway, the whole "crush/slash" thing is EXTREMELY overrated except against three MONSTERS. Metal Dragons are weak to stab, the CB is very weak to stab, and Waterfiends are weak to crush. Against players and everything else, what style you use makes very little difference.

This is why dds is better, it has faster hits, meaning your opponent doesn't have alot of time to respond to that attack, plus the fact it can poison.

Off topic: Yup i used to be a member of the original tip it but then switched the forum used by pepsi24 and all of them.(cant seem to remember the name). Then for the longest time i just used to read the forum and never post then last year decided to rejoin and post again. So there is my little story.

+can be poisoned

 

+excellent againts light armour

D mace can spec 50's, but really, you see that commonly?

Gargoyles are weak to Crush as well.

For me, yes.

 

 

 

Every time i use a full spec bar, it's pretty common.

 

 

 

O_O

 

 

 

But since dds needs to hit twice, it has half the chance, while d mace needs only one.

 

 

 

So yea 8-)

[Skeptical]

I like the dragon mace, but against a higher level or lightly armored opponent, I prefer the dds

[PuppyKing]

Poison would make a huge factor, no?

That's flawed thinking because in total a dds can hit 76.

Higher.

[Assume Nothing]

Just to say, with heavy armour like torags, it's barely noticable to see the difference between using crush and slash. The dds needs luck for both hits to NOT miss and hit high, but it has a accuracy bonus. The dmace requires less luck for it to hit a overall high number, but it has a decrease in accuracy. In general, the dds is better, for it's availablity, poisonability, speed, overall damage and accuracy. And btw, sorry to burst your bubble, but the dds max's 43-43 pvpwise. (Or 53-53 with the ddart bug =p)

 

 

 

I am not compfreak, I refuse to test a weapon for 100's of hours to give accurate results, sorry.

 

 

 

PS - Wrong forum buddy.

D mace is not alot better than dds for pking no

[acowswrath]

From what I understand about pking you usually pull out dds when the opponent has low health so you dont need high hits just enough to kill them. Mace may hit higher but it only hits once so it has a lower KO chance. If it hits a zero your opponent can heal and your stuck. DDS hits twice and usually hits at least once on players so it would normally kill them. Also, DDS is better against dragonhide which is also used alot.

[Troacctid]

Dds is easily better.

[n64jive]

From watching vids, it seems that D claws have amazing KO potential(able to hit around 60-70 hp consistently almost instantly)

[Saunamajuri]

d mace for softening opponents and dds to finish them off?

 

i rarely hit under 20 with d mace so with good stats and prayer, it`s an invaluable tool againts heavy armours

[yuriqiu]

I've been 46-43 spec'd by a dds before in CW without holding the flag. Ever since that fiasco the DDs is better than the D mace in my eyes.
