Ever since I got my DrK to bossing levels, 140, I've always considered DPS to be my number one concern. That being said, my obvious choice of weapon were Sky Skis for their additional attack speed (the accuracy was just an added bonus). With the introduction of Maker and Reverse Items, the margin between DPS with a Ski and a Slow spear has significantly closened. Testing has shown that Skis are 10% better (approximately) than slow spears. I have a 120 attack Sky Ski, hammered that I've used for a little over a year now that was scrolled for me by a friend, it has it's material value as well as a sentimental value, so I don't really want to part ways with it unless it's absolutely worth it.
Excluding all other gear and only taking into consideration the attack of the spear, all one needs for a slow spear to be the equivelant of my Ski is a 132+ slow spear or better.
I'm more or less at a place of indecision. I don't know whether to sell my skis (I have some ridiculous outstanding offers on them) and Maker and mass scroll Pinakas (average cost per spear using a Stimulator, Advanced Diamond, and Intermediate Black Crystal is approximately 45mil). If I do this I am hoping to come up with something close to 138+ (I know, that's extreme, but I set high goals).
Should I stick with my Sky Skis, or sell them and fund mass scrolling Pinakas?
Also, using the Crystals and stim stated above, what is the max possible clean attack on a Pinaka that I can obtain?
