Spear because that's what real dark knights use

You need a Normal speed weapon to be approximately 10% stronger than a Fast speed weapon to even it out, otherwise the Fast will be more efficient.

[quote=Bramzy]Polearms are faster.

If you have both a spear and a polearm that are similar attack, then go for the polearm as it's a faster weapon. Polearms are usually fast speed but have less weapon attack, wheres as spears tend to be normal (higher levelled ones, anyway). The only time it would be more sensible to pick a slower weapon is if the attack of that weapon outweighs the faster weapon so much that even the extra speed doesn't compensate. How you calculate that though, I'm not sure.

But yeah, basically, higher level polearms are faster than spears, so go for polearm unless the spear increases your range by enough to compensate for the lack of speed.[/quote]

^This, but remember that the polearm has roughly 10~ attack less than the spear.

^ You as misinformed my friend,Emp Polearm is Fast, whereas Emp Spear is Normal. Though the Polearm is faster, it has a LOWER base attack compared to the spear.
