Best gear/weapon for Corp?

[Anon523]

For 6 man and FFA corp.

 

Maxed, turmoil, overload available.

Might wanna try this out: http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=corporeal_beast_killing.htm#setup1

[enfield]

plenty of statius warhammers and vesta spears.

 

 

(in seriousness you want virtus probably; everything else should be pretty obvious)

[HexiledRazz]

In a larger team perhaps void is useful? I've only been to corp twice, somewhat welfaring both times. However void maintains decent magic defense while giving good offense. Other then that Karils is pretty much standard. While Virtus is useful for the increased brew restoring.

 

And yeah, statius warhammers are the best thing you can spend your money on. However i believe the warhammer degrades 1 minute each time you equip it in combat regardless if you unequip it before 1 minute has passed. So this gives you a max of 180 special attacks(with special recovers) per hammer. I am unaware if a V spear or a Z spear is better due to the speed and strength bonus issue.

Neit

Fury

Barrows gloves

Steadfast boots

Comp < max < fire cape

Berserker (i)

Zamorakian spear

Virtus top/bottom > Karil's top/bottom

 

That's for LS/CS corp.

From what I've heard recently, Vesta's spear > Storm of Arma > Zammy spear.

 

However, the cost also decreases exponentially as you go down the list, so yeah. Storm of Arma might be worth it, Vesta's is probably not.

V spear is pretty much free. Buy corrupt, equip for 2 ticks while attacking, replace with zs. Free vspear usage without degradation.

[Quyneax]

When corping, try to keep setups more or less the same. If one person is hitting much more they'll be targeted more as well, which causes uneven brew consumption and a lot of unneccesary trading/dropping of brews.

 

If you are using powerful specials (swh, bgs) to lower defence, use a fire cape and berserker (i). If you're using weaker specials (darklight, bone dagger) use Ardougne cloak 3/4. SWH probably isn't worth using due to the cost.

 

Karil's or Virtus etc., otherwise max melee offence w/ zspear.

Storm of Arma > Zammy spear.

 

 

wow, does this mean the floor of soa is not reduced on corp?

 

(or is it good because it helps all the other team members by lowering def. if it actually does have high dps on corp, greater than zs, then maybe what you would want to do it use it until corp's def goes down enough so zs>soa).

[Powerfrog]

I can't do corp yet myself as i'm a very lazy quester, but i came up with a theory i figure i'll throw at you guys now.

 

Would it be possible to just suicide run corp with 3-4 people, one always being in the room at a time to avoid him heaing, and constantly BGS spec? At least until he's very low defense at which point you'll gear up one by one and finish him off normally.

 

I have no idea how long getting back after a death takes, but i'm pretty sure it's fast.

 

 

 

 

And for your question, i'd only use vestas spear and max offense in a free for all, as you obviously want to deal as much damage as possible per kill to get the loot. In a lootshare team, you can 'get away with' using a zammy spear and tankier gear and not wasting nearly as much money as the extra time per kill will be worth the M's you save from all the degrading spears.

[AHappySeeker]

Vesta's spear doesn't degrade if you use it right.

[LitterBug]

^how exactly do you do that?

(Not that I would corp but the idea is interesting)

 

You can spec then switch to a Zspear, and be hitting with the same stats?

After a quick test, I'd say that storm of armadyl's DPS on corporeal beast when its defence has not been reduced by specials is worse than ZS. But, since storm of arma's damage is not reduced, it is almost definitely better once you've hit the corp with 1-2 swh specials. BGS/DL/whatever probably aren't enough to make it the best.

However that was with no virtus... so I could be wrong.

And this works only for a corrupt vesta spear --> zammy spear switch?

Basically, why does this switch work?

 

Would it be possible for any other weapons?

Vesta Long --> CLS or something of that nature?

[AHappySeeker]

zspear is for minimising loss if you [bleep] up. It only works with corrupt because corrupt degrades based on ticks equipped, while normal degrades by at least a minute of use every time it enters combat. VLS - CLS isn't worth it as the CLS is better.

 

Could try a corrupt SWH switch into w/e for wfiends as a mid-level player with no titan.
