weapons and XP rates vs waterfiends

[langer]

Hello guys and girls.

 

Just wondering if the introduction of the dragon defender has changed the optimal set-up to use when killing waterfiends.

 

I know the ranks of best set-up prior to the release was something like : Chaotic Maul > SS > Z Spear > Chaotic Rapier with def > whip with def...

 

Here are my questions, keeping in mind dragon defender is used when training with a 1 handed weapon:

 

What's the new best set-up starting from best to worst, including 1 handed and 2 handed weapons.

 

What are the expected XP rates from each set-up.

I think nothing has changed: crapier + def is still worse than z spear.

Anyone with actual rates? Not that I don't trust your word pulli.

Sorry, I don't have rates either, but the ddef is only slightly better than the rune def, so there's no difference in the order, really. I imagine that the increase from rune def to ddef is only a few thousand k/h. disregard that i'm an idiot.

[Quyneax]

A few thousand k/hr? That's like, insane, lol.

 

But yeah, the order is still much the same. The fact that the maul is slower also helps a bit with ss flashing on ct fiends.
