that’s all up to you… i never got accustomed to swapping items and using secondary weapons, the idea just never crossed my mind tbh when i was beginning
it just seems more of an annoyance to me, taking up loot space, and you end up losing more than you should when you carry more than one item. so, i only pick and choose one “optimal” weapon for each class should i obtain em. (usually, i use UT’s and sell tiered, even if tiered would be better in every way)
just more efficient that way to max, and make use of a UT, though at times, i feel forced, using a UT in place of a tiered weapon i own that would benefit more.
ended up typing more than i shoulda per usual, just read the first line haha
if you’re used to swapping, then carry both
now that i think about it, there are rare situations when tiered REALLY gives you a noticeable boost which was looting from thessal with acclaim 100% of the time as warrior, and only about 70-80% when i acquired a.s.s.
same with stone guards
i don’t see a reason to switch from dblade to an acclaim, or any single shooting sword, in tombs because one, you really don’t need to be in shotgun distance to hit a boss with one of the shots, and two, you have ample time to put in SB (the lowest dmg threshold i counted so far was for geb, which was exactly three ice star throws, which i have recorded, unlisted on youtube).
the way i play and stuff like that are really unpopular, and most everyone carry both pixie and another sword.
