Vorpal and paralizers question

[RS-Makk]

On what situations would I use vorpals instead of a dps weapon, and also when would I use paralizers instead of dps? (and how far into the game do both of these have use?)

[Impatiens]

Vorpals, in my opinion, are nicer for mobs with a lot of hit points. The trash devils in VoD are a great place for vorpals, as is Shroud trash. If the mob has minimal hit points half the time you'll just beat it to death with your vorpals before you ever roll a 20.

*edit* As Arkat also said but I neglected to mention, vorpals will only work on non red/purple named mobs.

[Arkat]

Vorpals are best used on non-red named and non-purple named mobs with LOTS of hitpoints, especially at the end-game. The devils and orthons in the the Subterrane and Shavarath quests are prime examples.

Paralyzers work well in the level 8 to 14 range. They're not very helpful at levels 16 to 20 as the mobs tend to make their saves much more easily then.
