Dax Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Why s it so highly suggested when I can get a better crush bonus with Dragon Mace/Unholy book? I'm not going to go change, because i'm cheap, but I just want to know why it's the first weapon (or Saradomin Sword) on everyone's mind... #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboi18184 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 im not sure, but i'll be cheap with you i used a d mace and a rune defender :grin: on my last slayer assignement down there. but i think its a faster weapon so it averages more kill per/hr [spoiler=Goals.][/url] [spoiler=99's]99 strength achieved 5/27/09.99 hitpoints achieved 9/30/09.(59,643)99 attack achieved 11/08/09.

Ermy Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 The main reasons that the spear and sword is better is because of the strength bonus they give. Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets_3ekout Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Significantly faster (atttack speed and kills per hour wise), stronger and more accurate than cheap alternatives. Your combination focuses on prayer bonus, but you are actually losing money by using it. Because your accuracy is so much lower, you use more prayer pot doses per waterfiend, even though your prayer drain rate is lower. If you're not going to let people convince you, at least sub out the unholy book for a rune defender (+18 crush +5 strength. Your wasting your time if you don't take it up).

Dax Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 To be honest, I never thought of the Rune Defender. Thanks for that. And thanks for the replies. :thumbsup: #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Zammy spear and sara sword have the same attack speed as a whip, so they're the best crushing weapons. (The sara sword is slightly better because it trains strength with its crush attack.) If you use a d mace or anchor or dbaxe etc, you'll be hitting significantly slower, and you won't get kills as quickly.
