Umanyar Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 So, now that I have stopped range slaying, Im thinking about unblocking waterfiends. But as of right now, I dont have access to any real good crush weapon, besides maybe the ancient staff. Would a vine whip + ddf work better, or should I still shoot for using a crush weapon, even if it cant be one of the better ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Fray Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 You can buy a Saradomin Sword or Zamorakian Spear. I would prefer the Spear, it is a more versatile weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJD Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I agree, just figure out a way to afford the Zamorakian Spear. It's not that expensive and is great for killing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Paul Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Well frankly, waterfiends suck at your level if you don't have a good crush weapon. With that being said, I think that ancient staff or dragon battleaxe would be better choices. Just pot often and pray piety the entire time.

Honestly if you cannot access any of these weapons then leave them blocked, they are quite slow as it is and will be even more so with inferior weapons like verac's flail/dragon spear/guthan's spear or whatever it is people use as a crush weapon.

Saradomin_Mage Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Ancient Staff + Dragon Defender is probably your best bet, failing which Dragon Battleaxe + Dragon Defender > Verac's Flail > Guthan's Spear I personally used Ancient Staff + Rune Defender before and it wasn't really that great, though, but it'd definitely be better than a vine whip. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Dragon mace might beat battleaxe, not sure on that, vine whip could be a decent option certainly at higher attack levels and on task. I'd recommend buying a Saradomin sword or leaving them blocked.

Drazhor Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Don't forget them lovely little items known as "Goliath Gloves", they are strong crush gloves, and you don't need a weapon with them! :P Visit my blog!

Unless each section of RFD counts, which is doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komodo_Jo Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Do you have (or can you get) a Barrelchest Anchor? It's an often overlooked and much underappreciated crush weapon. It's what I used before I got a ZS/SS. I tested it against various options and found it to be better than anything else I could get my hands on at the time. If you can't even get that, then just leave waterfiends blocked. They're too annoying to fight without a good crush weapon.

Hedgehog Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 But rapiers are stab and whips are slash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfield Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 the obsidian mace with a berserker necklace is on par with ss/zs .. but you probably can't afford the necklace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
