FI>       One question... has anyone run a test on the Holy Avenger vrs.
FI>the Skull Sword?  I have both on my Ranger, but it sure seems that the
FI>skull sword is much more accurate... is this correct?  I wouldn't think
FI>this would happen beings the holy avenger is limited to (1?).
FI>       I've already read that it may not be limited to 1 so please don't
FI>respond to that... I just want to know if anyone has run a test to see
FI>which weapon is truly the best.
FI>       Oh ya.. I have found that the double-crossbow is much better than
FI>the mythril cutless, the manitcore tail, heavy-bone mace and other
FI>weapons I've tried.  I've tried everything I could use, and the double
FI>is the best..... for my W/H anyway.  :)

  When i was recently a level 32 Thief, I had both avenger and Skull
Sword. I kept both for a while, Then Switched to Avenger. Merely because
it hit HARDER then Skull sword and bs's harder. To testing results on
the practice dummy i got 141 backstab at level 32  and a
134 backstab with Skull sword  but the avenger was SLOWER.
I got 4/4/4/5 with Skull Sword, and 3/4/4/4 with the Holy Avenger. The
holy avengers Maximum and Minumum hits were BOTH higher, but with
Combat-4 i would say you should use it, because you will swing faster.
And i do believe its limited to 1, We have killed Prismatic Dragon many
MANY times.
  On the topic of your 31st witchunter, I would have to say Manticore
tail would be the best if you dont have 90 strength to wield it. And you
hould get 4's, Our level 40th Witchunter has used Manticore tail from
about level 32 i think.
