I know i'm a noobie cuz check my posts but I have a really good example of why not to use a wand..
I was leveling my friend's warrior and found a 1sock elite poleaxe and thought what the hell i'll use it. I made it +2, put a NORMAL dragon in it and went hunting. Later on when my friend got on he was like oh cool a poleaxe. He used it and told me that it gives around 1k less exp than his unique 1sock level 110 wand with a normal rainbow. Since then we got it to 100, about 2 days after with boring hunting, and found that it is 2x as strong as the wand. Yes I know it is elite +2 with a normal dragon, but the point that on superman it does 257k to birdmen with boreas and isn't 110 yet, as where the wand has more stated attack and does 160k to them with snow both fixed is worth saying.
SO.. If you get hit exp in the lab, my wand does 160k with superman at level 110 and the poleaxe does 257k at 100 then what is better on a perfect snow/boreas?

Alot of people still love wands but I have fought a 100 rb war with the poleaxe while he uses his level 100 super +2 2sock wand that has 2 ref dragons and I out-hit him when you add back the 30% damage he DOESN'T take from me. Just a quick explaination.
I hope it sheds light on wands vs. poleaxes... yet this wasn't a comparing thread... what was it about again?
