What is your Favourite and least Favourite Specials and why?

Featured Replies

 

 

 

worst: d long, it doesnt really hit high or do that much at all

 

 

 

You must be kiding.. Compared to any other weapons, such as Rune Claws, Dragon Scimitar, or Abyssl Whip, you think D long is crappy?

 

Maybe it's because your 55 str?:roll:

 

 

 

My favorite spec is obviosly dagger, and I cannot stand D simi spec.. Absolutly terrible and pointless.

My favorite is Dragon Battleaxe

 

 

 

Least favorite is Abyssal Whip

My least favorite special is the dragon scimmy, it's just useless vs monsters. My favorite special has to be the Excalibur special. Self explanatory.

The self-proclaimed king of bronze.

I think d spear special is kinda useless. U push back the enemy..so what?

 

All it does is give you like 3 seconds to run away.

 

 

 

My fav sp would hav to be d dagger or d long-original yet effective :P

 

 

 

Never seen the d2h sp (in action) but i think it may be pretty good.

favorite: dragon dagger (add super poison for a bonus). you get the ability to use one of the fastest weapons, hit your max twice, and possibly poison up to 6 hits per poison damage. thats a lot of damage in 1 hit. not to mention with full special meter, you can get 16 normal hits into 4 auctual hits with poison.

 

 

 

least favorite: rune throwing axe (used it and didnt see it hit multiple targets, so i gave up on it) also the dragon spear is kind of useless. sometimes i used to use it in castle wars on the flag carrier just to mess with them. didnt really work though. bind is more effective if i were to use, oh say, a dragon dagger with special on while binding/snaring.

 

 

 

middle of the road: whip. i guess in some cases taking away energy is [grime], like in pking, or in castle wars, but most of the time, i wouldnt use it.

i now hate short bows special, one use and i always hit weak...

I wonder...

 

 

 

If you go to the duel arena, and turn mage and range off, and movement off then use d spear special then switch to hally...

 

 

 

Are you gaurunteed a victory?

already tried it a few months ago. and the answer is no. the same little "stunned birds/stars" go around your head, but you stay in the same spot.

Good ones:

 

 

 

DDS/DD+/DDP - Obvious reasons.

 

Dragon Battle Axe - Saves money training/

 

Dragon Long/Dragon Mace - 30 and 60 strength bonus? Count me in!

 

 

 

Mediocre ones:

 

 

 

Granite Maul - Easier to get KO's with than dagger, but for whatever reason when I use the specials they seem far more inaccurate than if I were to just hit with the maul regularly so I dont know what's up with that.

 

 

 

Magic Shortbow - Good, but 55% doesn't help.

 

 

 

Dragon 2H - Good, but 55% doesn't help. Also Castle Wars is dead as is P2P multi so it has no real use.

 

 

 

Dragin Scimitar - Good, but 55% doesn't help. Also Castle Wars is dead as is P2P multi, which is where it would get most use since whips are common in single wild when you have the time to protect item and won't get smited by 10 people.

 

 

 

The rest aren't worth mentioning.

special i like: d long looks cool and u can hit high

 

special i dislike: scimmy just plain sux

Currently training all skills to or above 60.

 

Barrows drops: 87 runs done so far. Torag Platebody on 4th run. Guthan Chainskirt on 35th run. Dharok Helm on 45th run. Torag platelegs on 49th run. Ahrim Robeskirt on 86th run.

DDS - Best PvP spec, etc.

 

D 2H - Best multi-way training

 

Excalibur - Best training spec cost-wise(free def pot FTW)

 

Darklight - Best spec graphics

 

 

 

 

 

Whip - just a horrible spec... I would use it more often if you could get npc run energy :shock:

 

D scimmy - another horrible spec

PM me in game to use some skills of mine (glories/potions) free or to ask a question.

There is a little part of me that wishes Jagex would renege and make Claws poisonable...

 

 

 

hmmm... Dragon Claws?

Like:

 

Dragon Dagger

 

Dragon Battle Axe

 

Dragon Mace (I hit 36s with them :D ?

 

 

 

Dislike:

 

Whip

 

D Scimmy

I love the dds spec because (like everyone else has said) you can hit up to eight times, and when I'm potted, I rarely hit a zero. I also love the exicalibur (sp?) special when I'm runecrafting because it brings my def up to 70 =). I hate the d b axe special as it lowers my atk, def, and various other skills, while only raising my max hit by one or two.

Best: Dds, Dspear

 

Worst: Dscim, Rune claws (lol)

 

 

 

I say that the d spear is one of the best because it has saved me and my friends so many times in the wilderness, lol. Whenever we are out there near the Mage Bank and (inevitably) some whipper comes at me. I just keep walking away, my frends dspear specs and then we both run and log :P. People dont think of some of the other awesome uses for this...

 

Meanwhile, dscim is just terrible... I never have enough spec bar to use it on someone that is actually praying, and half the time it misses lol.

d dagger is best by far and u get more than one use of the special, whip is worst, even when u use the special you will most likely get a 0, dragon spear is also crap, but who fight with that anyway, d long = ok, d baxe = ok, d scimmy is almost ok, d hally = sometimes good.

 

 

 

I suppose you could use KB paste on it though, then switch to a DD, then finish them off :)

well every1 says dragon dagger lol but when i go to dual arean with me DRAGONLONG i easyly hit 47s on those dragon dagger noobs when they take off all armor

 

 

 

by far its dragon long special for high levels low levels are probably better off getting 8 hits in with dds but people with 99 str like me own with teh d long

Most of you seem to have put in your opinions. I may tally then post up what % likes which special. Ok bibi!

P.S. Guthix is my lord

Like: dds, maul, long

 

Dislike: mage long, whip and d scimmy

The most liked special is Dragon Dagger, followed by DarkLight, Dragon Longsword, Dragon mace,and a few others.

 

 

 

The least liked was the Abbyssal Whip followed by Dragon spear, Magic Longbow and Rune Claws.

 

 

 

This is the rough rankings. I may now open a topic on special restore prayer/pot.

Mmm, i got a D Mace a couple of days ago for a laugh, just hit 18 with the special (which is 4 more than the tip.it calc says i should be able to unpotted).

 

Nice :D

In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes

I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose

I offered up my innocence, I got repaid with scorn
