Sagittarian Bow vs Promethium

Featured Replies

I have a Shadow Silk Hood along with a Sagittarian bow and arrows bound. I recently got 99 strength and I'm wondering if I should change my bound weapon. I only have 78 attack so I don't know which weapons I can actually wield. I think I may only be able to wield Promethim mauls but I'm not sure.

 

Would it be worth unbinding my Sagittarian bow in favor of a Promethium weapon?

 

My stats are in my signature.

Personally you should only weild a bow if you have a hex hunter, I think you should deff bind a melee weapon, best2h/spear you can, or maul in your case.

The highest level 2 handed sword is going to be your best option. In you case, it is a Katagon 2hr. Using a promethium or primal maul is not a good idea, as in dungeoneering attack styles make a huge difference. With a maul you only have access to crush, which leaves out the very useful slash option that a 2hr can provide, along with the 2hr's crush bonus.

 

Ranging in dungeoneering is never worth it unless you have a hexhunter bow with saggitarian arrows bound. If you don't have those, you should either bind a celestial surgebox or laws, with the surgebox being the best option.

With the choice between primal maul and katagon 2h, i'd rather go with primal maul and have celestial surgebox for other monsters. 3 tiers is alot to give up for a slash option, and mage usually very accurate on other mobsters regardless.

He's 2 levels away from 80 attack though, which is very easy to get. A gorgonite 2hr is nothing to be ashamed of, it's a good weapon and only 1 tier below the highest 2hr he has access to (primal 2hr is 113dge).

My suggestion would be to get the last 2 levels to 80 attack so you can wield Gorgonite and get a Gorg2H or at a stretch a Gorg Spear (Strong Poison). Ranging is pretty useless in Dungeoneering unless you have a Hexhunter bow since, with the exception of Mages, pretty much everything seems quite Arrow-proof.

Since you are also 99 magic, even magic would be more viable than ranged imo, if you find a celestal catalytic staff and a surgebox (or a 2h and a surgebox, crafting an empowered fire staff).
