Darkknight

Pole Arm vs. Spear

Hey guys, I need your help.

Lets say I can choose between a Fafnir spear and PA for my dark knight, which one do i chose? They will be scrolled with RED scrolls and enhanced. Furthermore, no Decent SI or +1 attack speed Inner Ability. What will give the highest dmg output per minute?

Thanks

[quote=Landicho]i don't know if anyone noticed, but the new jobs were made to use weapons that were previously dead. Before aran, spears were all the rage and arans basically made pole arms alive

same thing with demon slayer, mechanic, wild hunter and bm[/quote]

On a somewhat related note, I'm glad that Eunwol uses knuckles, an existing weapon.

It makes Aran and Evan feel a bit less separated from the rest of the heroes. They just need their link skills next.

It's not even noticeable.

[quote=Heinsenberg]i'm glad u realize i'm mad at the fact that spears are less used than Pole arms, for real. anyways i'm happy that Sweet water Pole arms are exactly the same in terms of damage and speed with sweet water spears. I wish it will be the same thing with Lionheart and Fafnir/RA.[/quote]

sweet PA's are actually pretty weak compared to sweet spears, if i remember extractions right.

i just don't get why they don't make fast spears, really, hell arans would be so much happier if spears were fast and PA's were normal.

Thereotically PA as most end game spears are normal speed whereas PA is fast (5).
However, as people have said, spears are so unwanted that they are super cheap so if you have a limited budget and you come across a good bargain....

@Heinsenberg:

Oh, so it's just opinion.

It sucks how they made spears so inferior to polearms, even for Drks. They need to do something about it.

[quote=Heinsenberg]Spears because soon the HUGE gap between overpriced Pole arms and it's BS Att speed-Dmg ratio will be fixed , no more fast speed for PA.[/quote]

Soon? What are you referring to when you say that.

OT: In that scenario, Polearm > Spear easily.
