March 17, 201115 yr Depends if you're in multi or not, and if you're FFAing. I'd assume KS and Claws are on an even keel for slayer.Bossing I'd say claws... KS would suck due to multi-combat situation and therefore chaining. FFA bossing, Claws because you want higher damage output. 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
March 17, 201115 yr No, claws are easily better for slayer, especially because the ferocious ring adds +40 to each of the four hits. KS possibly comes close on metal dragons, though. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

March 17, 201115 yr No, claws are easily better for slayer, especially because the ferocious ring adds +40 to each of the four hits. KS possibly comes close on metal dragons, though. Just double checking - you should run rapier w/ ddf and claws as a spec weapon?Do people have any real use for EEE?

Just double checking - you should run rapier w/ ddf and claws as a spec weapon?Do people have any real use for EEE? Yes, when slaying you should always use claws (except for mauling wyverns). EEE is great for certain bosses, fight caves, etc. @ OP - Claws have a stab option, yes, but they're far less accurate than rapier + ddef. I'd hesitate to say that claws >>> KS on steel dragons. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.
March 17, 201115 yr If you don't have a bucketload of cash to dump on claws, then don't get them. They are the best anyway, but DDS isn't that much worse. I don't have KS, but considering how its spec is melee and magic based, like sara sword, I would rank it above sara sword So, claws > ks/dds. Claws have higher dps then any of them. If you can afford claws, get them. If not, just borrow them from someone But, for example, dag kings, claws RAPE supreme. 2 people with claws will be able to kill supreme very quickly if they both have a full special bar.

March 17, 201115 yr Claws are awesome, definatly better then both Korasi's and DDS. They are really fun to use too :) Whips: 3 Dragon Boots: 15 My 99's: Attack & Cooking Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Goldenjkered

March 17, 201115 yr They all have their pros and cons. DDS is cheap to replace, can be poisoned, and contains several specials. As a result, it's ideal for PvP, especially as a side weapon to something like a whip. Dragon claws are expensive to replace and can't be poisoned, but hit higher and faster. It's good for PvP, but only if you can afford to lose a different weapon, making it useful but...different. Of course, while doing relatively safe bossing it's ideal. Korasi's Sword has the massive disadvantage of lightning chaining, and has a magic based special, which is great on people wearing rune armour but unhelpful at bosses or other vaguely magic/range oriented. But it is pretty cheap, and has good all-round stats. Pretty obvious stuff, I guess, I just thought I'd say so. I'm not an efficienado.
March 17, 201115 yr No, claws are easily better for slayer, especially because the ferocious ring adds +40 to each of the four hits.

March 17, 201115 yr Claws are better for all slayer tasks but miths.

March 17, 201115 yr Its not above sara sword, its way above and long beyond sara sword. So, being "Way above and long beyond" is not "above"? What?Above is above.Saying something is "better then" is the same as saying something is "way way way totally over nine thousand111!!!1! above" it, without sounding like an idiot Runescape player since 2005 Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum
March 17, 201115 yr How did Sara sword even get into this discussion? All I see is some bizarre, fallacious comparison between it and Korasi. Nobody is claiming it's any good, so perhaps you guys should just drop it. Claws are a lot better than Korasi generally, but korasi is better in single combat against very high defense. That basically means miths. DDS is better against opponents with very low hp, so you can one-hit four of them instead of just two with claws.

March 17, 201115 yr The comparison I made between ks and ss is that both of their specials are comprised of 1 melee attack and 1 magic attack, and that ks was better then ss. Runescape player since 2005 Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum
March 17, 201115 yr The comparison I made between ks and ss is that both of their specials are comprised of 1 melee attack and 1 magic attack, and that ks was better then ss. That comparison is wrong. The korasi spec is one hit....it is ONLY magic.The only thing that melee relates to it is how high you can hit (your str level) The KS is NOT 1 melee, and 1 mage attack.

March 17, 201115 yr I'd use ks on mithril dragons, and steels outside Kuradal's (for sure at lower attack levels, doubtful at 99). In Kuradal's, always use claws. On waterfiends I now prefer claws over KS though they are very close really. The interesting comparison is dds versus rapier. On low defence in Kuradal's dungeon the dds is probably worth it, but on higher defence you're really better off with a rapier.

March 18, 201115 yr No, she means rapier. DDS is inaccurate enough that it could easily average less damage per special than a plain rapier hit on higher defense monsters like miths. Join "DG Sweepers" Clan Chat for Dungeoneering Floors | Accepting all tipiters who are Willing to Learn |
March 18, 201115 yr Ah never thought about it like that, usually have claws so never worried about situations like that lol.
