Well im Hybrid, really useful, but everyone notices i have a PA equiped, and do the usual questions theylle start out "dude... hey dude are you a PA dk?" Ill resond no, hybrid. theyll say oh good, cuz PA dks suk. I mean, in all seriousness PA dks are perhaps one of the most versitile Classes around. Fury has the most amazing range of all the warriors. It mobs, and when the pink bean comes out which warrior will be killing ariel. PAs and Hyrbids, cuz they can and its free. But i still dont like how they are frowned upon by all maplers, and their one of the smallest populated class. even less populated then pallies and MMs.

Because when you're trying to 1v1 crusher is used with Spears. And most people care about 1v1 DPM so that's one of the reasons.

lol yeah, pa dks are underrated its just because pa crusher is kinda... lol its the same as pure spear but just weaker for crusher i would personally go for pa dk if i likes final attack or if i didnt like spears as much

thats the thing, If my mechanics are correct, PA dks hit more on certain bosses, like horntail and Zakum. a PA dk can hit all 4 arms of a side of zakum, and a head and arm a HT, this is supposedly better considering for TODAY ONLY XD they are the most recognized bosses, tommorow when the pink bean come out PA Dks are still in the lead cuz they can attack ariel.

Mr hybrid Dk thanks for reaching out to all hybrid (including yourself) but noone has really answered why their looked down upon, i already proved they dont suck at bossing.

well there could be a other reason because people dont see pure pa often dishing out massive dmg

xxxFreeze said: "Idk why, I'm pure spear and no one says anything to me." Well spears are more popular then polearms and their crusher damage is better And then everyone thinks that way

@ kithanna yeah thats pretty much it @ xxxfreeze duh, this is about POLEARMS @ isayhi I cant wait till it comes out OT: pure polearms are looked down on because people are so used to pure SPEAR dks. i personally dont see many pure polearm and when i do ask around to see why they werent polearm dks, they said oh they SUCK, so wrong i had a lvl 54 pure polearm spearman but i quit it because ap stats were all screwed up xD
