AX: all around the best.
Spear: kc basement/ sebilis crypt not much else.
Tunare: is the best for solo play in all situations

What about small duo / trio stuff? Paladin / Mage / Bard. Would Tunare or Vulak be better?

I think it would be a toss up. Personally I would favor the axe. Ratio is worse but increased delay makes it easier to pop off a spell between swings or at least minimize the white damage action potential loss.

I’d personally take the lifetap over the root from a Paladin’s perspective.

From a paladin yea for my sk I preferred tuna, having access to a root and not a shit ratio to get it.

How so

The pal wants lifetap, a spell associated with Sk.

Sk wants root, a spell associated with pal.

The SK often doesn't want root, due to fear kiting being a more powerful option in a lot of scenarios.

Herbalist's Spade exists for the scenarios where you want root.

If you can get Vulaxe and Tuna Sword, that's great. If you had to pick one, Vulaxe all the way.

I don't often fear kite, I just face tank on my sk. What you might do maybe different.

People who know how to play the game and want to take less damage than simply face tanking mobs while soloing.

You can fear kite just fine in difficult areas like Sebilis. I am not sure why you believe fear kiting is only used in zones like Dreadlands.

I mean you're geared out and fear kiting entrance mobs in sebilis. Anybody leveling doesn't have access to all that gear. Anybody with that gear, at 60 isn't wasting time farming sebilis entrance mobs.

The bigger question is why would a 60 sk even want to farm sebilis entrance mobs?
