with caster setup you can cast on monk :> which is appreciated since most climbs missing healers/casters nowadays when there are more HH then ever xD


While this is very true, there's a good bit of people who cant cast as warlocks much less as monks. I hate off casting on a monk personally because I don't have the mana gear below lvl 40 to help. But there's some people who make off casting look easy as pie lol.

Can always go melee 1-25/30 on the monk since no1 needs to be healed at those low levels. Then go casting and manapool shouldn't be a issue.
Issue when going swords + casting setup is when/if you lucky getting to HH you obsiously need Axes since that class can only use it :D But i never ran into that issue since i never gotten to HH :rofl:

depends on who else is in the climb. When there's 2 others dealing more damage than i am, then yes easy and i usually go full damage other than a very good level 20 dagger i'm basically using warlock gear.
The pain is when there's other offcasters running out of mana and refuse to fish/shrine at 70% or less exp (arguably 90% exp+ you can get away with, i usually have 100 mana fish for that :P ) or when you are the offcaster with the highest damage in a climb will usually mean you'll run out of mana regularly and need to use fish.

Any new offcasters whom don't have specialised gear should melee upto level 20 minimum whilst statting intel. Even with my specialised gear i deal more damage with ~100 fg of melee gear than i do with 1k worth of offcaster gear.

Axes and Dagger = Consistent damage

Clubs, swords = chances of low and high end damage

They do the same average damage, but I suppose it is up to the user what they like... at time I like seeing my longswords 1 hit kill, and other times cursing them for low end damage... Spears are annoying, not sure if people have noticed, spears have a higher chance of hitting a 0 vs battleaxe of the same tier (& EE) at higher levels. some may notice this with Daggers & axes.

Do... long story short, up to you... they both deal the same average damage.

Daggers and axes. Then all you need is a caster set and you can use every class.

With swords, you need swords, daggers/staves, and axes and a caster set.


I have the same opinion ;)
