hi there...i m pure int s/s and planning to farm at penons at 52
so i m thking shld i buy a SOX spear instead of a SOX sword for farming?

as a nuker i shld just nuke non stop in farming and use little weapon skills
so wif a spear i will nuke harder than a sword and save pots/farm faster (spear cost more than sword tho)

any opinions? plz feel free to correct me...thx

:)

bow wast one of your options but i recomend one of those, those are really Expensive. Spear would be good since you can kill fast and use less pots. I would rather save money then spend it.

i m thking of the same thing, but i would hv a problem in fighting giants as i wun hv any spear weapon skills ( nt intending to get any as well, no intention going dual weapon )
or i will be just fine nuking all the way w/o weapon skills?

any more feedbacks and thx urtoasty for the fast reply :D

You could always use the spear for one hit/quick killing and still carry a nice +3/4 sword & high br shield - quick slot the s/s and spear to toggle back and forth as needed. If you have any ice, you could get away with using just the spear. Ice nuke them or frost nova to slow them down.

get the spear first ... if u cant 1nuke or 1nuke+shout (wif ur weaker nuke) kill mobs .... sell it and get a sword. wif shield u can tank better more mobs. and last better against a giant.

penons aren't agro so spear could be a good choice if you hit pretty hard. (maxed nukes for the mastery lvl and good int bonuses)
