mlskid Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I don't know which chaotic to get when I finally actually attempt to get one? My question is, I have Korasi and I don'tt often slay. I also plan on getting 88 summoning charms through wfs. So would it be more beneficial to get the Maul instead of a rapier? Or should i just slay for the charms for 88, tough it out and get a rapier instead? :unsure: Summoning help:[hide=Wio, lol][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th e Doctor Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Rapier, maul isn't worth it if you're only going to use it for wfs. Besides the fact that ss will still be adequate for killing them.

Content Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I've seen maul own whip/GS in pvp... No personal experience. Personally, I love my Rapier, no regrets in my purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but to sum up the 70+ pages of that Chaotic topic in general discussion would probably look like this: Not maxed Melee, no extremes/high level curses, training to get there but still quite a ways away = CLS Maxed melee with Extremes and Curses that slays = Rapier If you ever plan on training Slayer to any degree, Rapier is a must-have, with Longsword being a close-yet-far-away second. I wouldn't bother with Maul until your 3rd or 4th Chaotic honestly. Click Here for a Common Sense Dungeoneering Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlskid Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I don't have ss yet. i do have an eee for healing though, and I'd like to also use a maul for when i start TDs. I also don't know wether or not I will go and get another chaotic for a while after getting the first one though... depends on how much soloing I will have to do.lol Summoning help:[hide=Wio, lol][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you aren't maxed, the extra time training the rapier saves you far outweighs the small benefit CLS will give you at some bosses. ~It's Super Effective!

I wouldn't bother with Maul until your 3rd or 4th Chaotic honestly. Close, not maxed players will be more accurate with a cls than a rapier on monsters with higher defense. Get a rapier becausea)training monsters don't have high def so you wil max faster with a rapier.b)once you're maxed you wont want to have to go get 200 k tokens again.

mlskid Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm not even considering getting the CLS anyway as I have no interest in it. Rapier is faster and all around better imo for everything. I was just wondering wether or not it'd be worth it for me to get a maul if i had to get a chaotic since i don't dg very often...

sumondskull6 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The only time you will ever need to use a CLS > Rapier is if you're killing a LOT of Skeletal wyverns. And if you plan to do so, take the Chaotic maul, because it [cabbage]s down CLS's throat at Wyverns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlskid Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hmm, well on the debating topics, Where is it best to use a Rapier instead of Korasi, (I know almost everywhere) and also another list of where is it better to use a Maul instead of ZS? :thumbsup: That would be a lot more beneficial atm.

mlskid Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 True, and specs will probably just be used up with my EEE, anyone any guestimates how long it will take me to get both the chaotics with dging like crazy, and usually just solo? haha.

Quyneax Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Yep I second above. I would get rapier then maul, though the crossbow is also very good. @Bassy: the thread more or less sums up: rapier, then maul, as melee weapons go.

eyeye Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I currently am in mad love with my rapier, i've never had difficulty doing a significant amount of damage anywhere with it. I am also 17k tokens from maul, so i'll share my thoughts about it tomorrow. :thumbsup: Rapier, Rapier, Rapier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlskid Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Okay, I think that will be one of my next goals to tackle... :thumbsup: Rapier then Maul! here I come.... :smile: Summoning help:[hide=Wio, lol][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samaster Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Just thought I would chuck my ore in here. Your goal seems to be fairly similar to mine (although I'm going for 99, not 88) I am going to get maul because it does own waterfiends, and I want melee xp so im not going to burst/blitz. The only difference between us is that I will have soul split to heal and extremes for more dps. In short I think its your best choice if you are wanting to get summoning at wfs.

Ezkaton Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 As everyone else has said - Rapier then Maul. As the topic in general discussion says - Rapier = Whip on steroids. CLS = VLS on antidepressants. Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.2672nd person to reach 2496 total.Thanks to Wicked for the awesome siggy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
