Let me first introuduce the position i am in so that who ever this might regard can comprehend the angle i am coming from.
I have a 94 crusader and want to restart another warrior. Probably roll it into a Dragon Knight. Decently well funded, stats for the new warrior is so far so good. It's at a current level of 21 and most likely going to go hardcore grinding.
I am very fimiliar how a dragon knight operates and etc but it always boils down to this questions to probably many other maplers such as myself making a dragon knight. Hybrid? or Pure Spear? Sorry Polearm doesn't quite cut it for me, no offense =P.
Hybrid probably the most favored and well known of them all. I understand why so many would choose this path. "Screw Final Attack! Who needs that when your a DK and it's completely useless for DKs" Assuming your high enough level and you have Dragon Fury and Crusher both maxed out. What is the difference of Fury and Crusher when it comes down to a pack of mob? I understand Crusher can only hit 3 but more well designed to hit single targets. While Fury can any number of mobs where as it only a fraction of Crusher's damage.
Here's a scenario for you all to see what im trying to get at.
Your a hybrid Dk and have both Fury and Crusher maxed out.
You just rallied a group of Himes and you have your spear out.
You really think like most of us are going try to swatch our spears for a Polearm and go through all that exit combat hassle? No right? Your just going to go "Screw it, ill just stick with my spear and crusher them"
And your entire day of training at Himes just progresses on like that.
So what was the purpose of having Fury and being Hybrid? And suffer through 2nd job and level without Final Attack when that chance of using a Polearm as DK doesnt come quite often?
Pure Spear, probably the easy way out for spearmans to Dk and suffer through 3rd job.
You get to level with Final Attack and still get your Dragon Crusher.
Sometimes, you see a huge mob and you kind of kick yourself and wish you were hybrid.
In addition, lacking variety of combat, such as just spamming Crusher can really kill your mood to train. Thus holding you back.
Yes! i know im somewhat contradicting myself on these two comparsions, but i want you to see where i am coming from and my thought behind this. Maybe you guys can help me choose based on my thoughts.
To be Hybrid or To be Pure Spear? =D
Thank you very much.
