Uses of a Zamorakian Spear

[mega_vegeta6]

I bought a zamorakian spear recently after trying out a SS at waterfiends. ZS is much better in my opinion, and i'd like a few more reasons not to sell it back.

1. WFs.

2. Superantifire + ZS = Epic on dragons so i hear

3. Corp

4. Looks epic

5. Aquanites if you're into that sort of thing?

It looks awesome. It's good for stabbing dragons with super antifires.

This sums it up nicely.

Even if you do have super antifires, zs is really only better for black (and kbd), steel, and mithril dragons. A whip and defender is better for everything else.

 

There's not really any other great uses. Some people say that crush on living rock creatures is good, and I don't really know if that's true. But it does a great job for those few uses, and that's reason enough to keep it unless you're completely broke.

Living Rock Creatures have such low defense, it really isn't worth using a zammy spear down there. Whip + Defender/DFS is way better.

The ZS is mostly an overrated weapon. There are few places where something else isn't better. It's a close second at WFs, but still second to the Sara Sword. In most places where you are fighting a tough opponent where you need stab, full Veracs is superior.

Metals, and any other dragons with super antifire.

Unless you're slaying on task, I would believe. I don't think that Verac's defence breaking effect is better than the +15% of the slayer helm.

 

I'm of the opinion that the saradomin sword is the overrated item -- Zamorakian Spear is just barely worse for crush attacks, but at the same time it is a great stab weapon, giving you (almost) the best of both worlds.

True about Slayer. And yes, the Sara sword is also overrated, but given the importance of watefiends these days, having the best weapon for the job is worth it for many people.
