Obsidian at waterfiends?

[Robert_R]

New question:

Do you think the ardougne cape 3 or skill cape trimmed would be better?

 

Old question answered:

 

I'm just wondering if using something like obsidian maul or the mace with the berserker necklace would be any good at waterfiends. I'd use a rune defender with the mace.

 

Does anyone know if they're good or not?

 

This is all using karil top, helm of neitnotz, berserker ring, dragon boots, barrows gloves and trimmed skill cape.

Hmm just did the equipment builder thing, fury with zamorakian spear I would have 87 crush bonus with 106. For a total of about 22m

With a berserker necklace and obsidian maul I would have a crush bonus of 82 with a strength bonus of 115. For a total of about 13m

With a berserker necklace, obsidian mace and rune defender I would have a crush bonus of 82 and a strength bonus of 91. For a total of about 13m

 

Now I think the real question is: Does the speed of the zamorakian spear out wiegh the strength bonus of the maul and extra bonuses the necklace gives?

If it does is it really worth the extra 9m?

Also, is the obsidian mace faster then the maul?

I haven't tried obsidian specifically, but in general what you need there is high crush accuracy and strength. The Zammy spear is probably a better idea.

I'm really just wondering if this would be a good option on a tight budget and not wanting to spend 6.6m on a fury.

I have used it before. It is inferior only to the ZS and SS and is roughly the same with the GS. It beats the whip, barrows weapons, anchor, DBA, and all the other trash.

 

In other words, it's the most cost effective weapon.

You don't need the fury. Stole or glory works just as fine. Zammy spear without a fury > all other options.

Cool thanks I was looking in to this because I don't want to train defensive or controlled. Are you talking about the mace or maul though?

 

EDIT: I totally forgot they were bought out by a stupid merch clan..... :wall:

I was talking about the Mace.

Yes to all three.
