Description
The dire bear's hypnotic effect of swinging its head from side to side is dispelled when you realize that you have encountered a foe with sharp claws, powerful jaws, and quick reflexes.
In Depth
Dire Bears are much harder foes than their neighboring Silver-backed Bears. Someone who can dance four Silver-backed Bears will, unfortunately, die in three to four hits from a dire bear. They are approximately as strong as Shaggy Black Barghests (daytime barghests), but with better spawn.
- Low range is a minimum, and even then, without decent supernatural or magic defenses you're going to have a bad time. Probably closer to 115-120 for more than one or two and they spawn quickly.
- Defenses Soft cap (1/34) at 160. (5/19/2015)
- Bottom cap for offenses around 70
- Teaches defenses fine in the 140s.
- Locking Evasion and stealth good at 158.
- Teaches skinning great at 160, but still not getting perfect pelts.
Special Attacks
NONE.
Special Defenses
- APPRAISE CAREFUL info: NONE.
