Well what if this happens when your using your full dharoks : You get TBed, Barraged, Smited, and then k0ed eventually. GF 10m?
And if people got 100s of mills to spend, then why should they buy a 40k weapon instead of a powerful 100m one. You can't buy good weapons from a NPC for 40k. Just like how you can't buy a GS from a NPC.
You said that you can hit 40-20-10-10. Well thats 80 damage right there... Which is enough to k0 some players. A k0 with one spec? Thats awesome..
Now think of it this way :
You barrage someone, get them to about 500hp. If they use magic pray, then take out your whip, and if they use meele wait untill they use magic pray. When their hp goes under half take out claws and finish the job. With a dds that barely works. It is too slow even though more accurate.
And if claws were the price you guys think they should be, everyone would have them.
