Which Spear should i use to farm SP?

SOS 16+3

Phy = 95-109 (+0%)
Mag = 163-192 (+12%)
Attack Rating = 64
Crit = 14!!!
Blues = Int 2, Blocking Ratio 35

SOM 16+3

Phy = 122-141 (+18%)
Mag = 210-248 (+24%)
Attack Rating = 72
Crit = 7
Blues = Str 3

Normally i would obviously use the SOM but does the 14 crit on the SOS Spear make it better than the SOM? What is more important, 7 more crit or 30 more phy damage and 50 more mag damage? My thought is that since i'm farming SP at bandit, everything will be dying in 1-2 htis anyway so crit isn't really an issue?

Yes, i know. I just thought the 14 vs 7 Crit might make a difference.

Would you rather be stronger and crit every so often or do low damage and crit a lot?

strong

what if the sos crits are as high as the soms normal attacks
get the attack ratio as high as possible on the som and youll be fine

better to have medium dmg overall and crit high sometimes then
have low dmg overall and crit medium a lot

bow works better in the bandit stronghold. not that u cant use the spear, but u be at the mercy of other bow farmers.

I ever thought criticals affects more phys skills and phys damage then magic skills and magic damage.

At least when I use only weapon skill I crit way more times then I use only nukes.

But my opinion is toward SOM, better have a higher damage then hope to hava a high crit hit.

You always want to be stronger so you choose the better/powerful weapon. In your case the SOM :roll:

a som spear with all stats at 0% is better to use than that sos spear. =)
