Urza285 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Is it worth the 145m? I gutted my resources to obtain it and the book. Maxed [February 14, 2012] | Completionist [October 25, 2012] | Trimmed Completionist [in Progress]Visit my Blog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasar Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sorry to hijack, but I'm considering buying wand and book too. Does anyone know if they are actually broken (ie likely to be nerfed), or just performing normally? best drops (reasonably accurate/up to date): 1x Elysian Sigil (LS), 1x Arcane Sigil (cs), 4x Armadyl Hilt (solo at 100m, 100m, 50m, and 5m), 2x Saradomin Hilt (solo at 25m), 5x Draconic Visage (34m,1.2m,1.2m) and various cs/ls/ffa Nex splits. Drygore Drops: 7 Longswords, 3 Maces, 3 Rapiers, 3 Off-hand Rapiers, 5 Off-hand Maces, 3 Off-hand LongswordsROTS Shields: 12 Seismics: 16Ascension Crossbows: 6 Spider Legs: 10Countless Armadyl armour pieces, Saradomin amulets, Dragon Hatchets, and Fremenik Rings.Range~Herblore~Construction~Constitution~Defence~Farming~Magic~Attack~Prayer~Strength~Summoning~Slayer~Mining~Dungeoneering~Firemaking~Agility~Magic Mastery~Summoning Mastery~Cooking~Smithing~Fletching~Thieving~Hunter~Woodcutting~Fishing~Runecrafting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Don't you usually ask the question before the purchase? :P I believe that magic damage is actually tied to weapon tier now and not just spell, so virtus wand would be quite a step up from the t70 wands. As to whether it's more worth it, you get to use Concentrated Blast, which provides slightly more damage output than Sonic Wave with the Chaotic staff. I can't think of any other perks that dw magic has over 2h magic, but I'm sure someone who knows will be along soon. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

JeRambo Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Not worth it if you had to break your bank for it. I'd stick with Ahrim's or Treachery. Who really needs a 150M wand?

Cheat Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I suppose one of the main areas duel wield has an advantage is Sara GWD's having main hand Ice Barrage and off hand Blood Barrage means that you can increase your staying power while still hitting the Sara mobs with water spells their weak to.

Th e Doctor Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 And now I hate myself for buying one when they were 75 mil and reselling once they hit 80...

Ammako Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Lol, I had bought Virtus wand + book back when they were ~100m for both, then sold back when I realized I could afford to get a main hand Drygore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think they work better with barraging via momentum than cstaff. I almost always use it over 2h because of conc blast; but I would not consider them to be a necessity at over 200m a set. 'Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.' T.S.

Bxpprod Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 It will crash when if they decide to nerf fix several areas that we are seeing extremely high and extremely afkable easy magic experience coming in. In theory - yesIn practice - mmmm it's better than AW/B but by how much you'd have to ask someone with the #s. If you dropped your entire bank for it I'd be inclined to say it's not worth it, even if only because of how volatile the price is.

Hedgehog Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Definitely worth it over ahrim's. Not sure how much better it is than a chaotic staff, except that it attacks faster, which makes you a lot more resistant to KOs, i.e. it's a lot safer for use at Saradomin GWD.

Aiel Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 had some guy at abyss last night telling me wand+book was double the DPS of chaotic staff since it attacked faster. Glad to see I was right. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

Urza285 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Well I didn't sell my "bank." I actually just gutted my bank of resources I collected over time. I'm sitting on all three GWD sets, glacor boots, automaton gloves and superior pop armour. I already have both drygore maces and royal cbow. I am wanting to make the move to the next best mage pieces. I currently have 153m after selling my ahrim's book and treachery.

Urza285 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'm just going to sell my subjugate, rebuy WoT and ahrim's book. Then buy full Virtus.
