Magic Weapons.

[Noxx]

Right now i'm still using a Chaotic Staff, but i wanted to get something for DW too. I'm not sure on the current Virtus prices, but i'm sure it's way beyond my reach. I'm assuming i'd be better off using a C Staff over Ahrim's Book and Wand, but what about situations where i would need a shield (however small they might be). What would be a good option to fall back on?

I'd grab wand of treachery for your wand needs.

Only like 300k and it's lvl 70 so its the same as ahrim.

 

Also I don't really see any situations where you would 'need' a shield.

If your being the tank at the few bosses that use tanks with shields then you should easily clear the gp for virtus wand.

If your fighting dragons you can make do with mage protect or get 85 herby.

If you are fighting anything else at all there is no reason to be using a shield.

The price for virtus wand and book is roughly 130-140/40-50. If you don't want to shell out the money for it, a chaotic staff is only slightly less dps than the two.

Imo chaotic does more dps than virtus duo :s

[Quyneax]

That only happens if you use it wrong. Spam Concentrated Blast and your dps should be high.

Not the case when i go kk with my friends :s...70% of the drops were mine on ffa i dun even see them hitting over 5k with omnipower. I on the other hand almost always hit 5k plus with it

[Quyneax]

That is probably due to any number of other things... such as your teammates not using scrimshaws/overloads/prayers/power armour/whatever. Omnipower ought to have the same max hit with any t80 weapon.

[khandajatt]

nah they are they are even using scrimshaw and im not :s and ofc they wuld use ovld n prayer lol :s unless they are dumb

For dw and 2h to have the same DPS, the max hit on 2h has to be higher to counter the lower amount of attacks due to them taking longer.. right?

[chenw]

For abilities speed does not matter in the least, only the weapon type (2h or DW, class etc) weapon and ammo/spell levels.

[Sattern]

If you don't want to pay for the repairs, a staff of light is a good choice. I personally use it at 99 magic and have to say it is very powerful for its level. It also gives a bonus chance of not using any ruins every so often. Using a wand results in faster spell casting, but will have less accuracy unless you have a magic book to compensate for the loss.

[Quyneax]

I think you mean runes, not ruins, which isn't an issue really, as abilities don't use ammo anyway. Using a wand doesn't reduce accuracy, it reduces damage. If you don't want to pay for repairs, you should a) not be doing any combat and b) be using an Armadyl battlestaff.

no cuz if that was the case u wuld have a longer waiting period between abilities. The attack speed is for auto attacks only im pretty sure of that
