This. Before ardy cape, and SW cape I would have said so, since the only real alternatives were fire cape and ava's accumultor, as well as god cloaks. Back then I thought things like cooking cape has a 5% chance to cook 2 items at once, same for fletch/craft etc, STR has a chance to hit 3% higher, etc, but now the main use for 99 capes are for cheap defense in pvp/dangerous areas, or to show off.

thanks, also what attack was that defending against? since eagle only reduces range and mage im hoping with the new hitsplat and reduce splat update that they shields will get buffed/fixed jagex stated the reaosn behind this update was the dung shiles so maybe theyll become worth it. or at least balanced to be as good as the chaotic weapons Oh, my bad. He was using the KITESHIELD, I misread what you said.

Part of the reason I'm not training herb more is because I'd rather end up with MORE overloads, then get 99 herb sooner and have fewer overloads, and have to make more (I don't really value herb xp above 99)

All I know about eagle eye (Except from what the KB/RS wiki/TIF have to say) is when fighting someone wearing it, I was told in my chatbox that they reduced damage by 13, 18, and 18 damage respectively, against my rapier. So 49 damage out of their 990, while my divine would have soaked up 297 damage.

Oh, so we should drop our chaotic weapons and go get fulll DH because it has the potential to outpeform every chaotic weapon? Oh, so we should drop our chaotic longswords and get a rapier cause it has the potential to outperform the longsword? POTENTIAL =/= FACT You really don't understand this difference? This is the same reason people buy strength boosting gear, because of the POTENTIAL to boost their max. It doesn't mean every hit will be higher then without said strength boosting armor, but rather that you have the possibility of higher DPS (Which is in actuality a reality). In other words, the chance of hitting higher every time averages out to BECOME a higher DPS and max hit. I fail to see how anyone with any knowledge of basic RS combat can fail to understand this. As well, only an absolute IDIOT would say that "If you don't have it you can't judge it." With a basic knowledge of RS combat, and how combat works, you can "run the numbers". You don't HAVE to train strength with both a SS and D scimmy+Defender to be able to figure out which is the better training weapon. It is quite simple really. And yes, I can categorically say that CR>CLS for MOST slayer tasks (Even more so when turmoiling, x pots, etc) and CLS is better at bandos. Do I have a CLS, no. Do I have a CR, yes. As a matter of fact, I considered getting a CLS very much. However, considering I have optimal slayer gear (imbued rings, etc) the small boosts benefit the CR more then the CLS. A serker (I) raisies the max hit by around 20. Thus hitting 100 times with the CR means I can hit a theoretical 2000 LP more then hitting 80 times with the CLS for a 1600 LP extra damage. Of course, one could say that you don't ALWAYS hit the extra 20 with the CR, that is true. However, the same is true for the CLS. The deciding factor then becomes accuracy, which, as I explained before, is insanely high with the CR, especially when factoring in the smaller boosts (X pots, turmoil, slayer helm, rings, defender, etc). In other words, the potential bonuses to the CR will, over time, become a fact, a testable fact. True, you may be able to 2 hit an abby demon, but can you do it consistently? There also comes in another point, "wasted" damage. If you often hit 635-565 on an abby demon, you still need a 3rd hit to kill said demon. Thus, you "waste" any extra damage not needed to KO. The same can be said of a faster, less strength weapon, however, less time is lost. This is why that using DH+ a whip/scimitar to finish off low HP monkies can so dramatically increase your Xp/hr. (Up to 15k allegedly)

How do you figure that since cls has better attk bonus? Better gear should benefit cls not rapier as was demonstrated with my trials with Sir Izenhime. Because STR bonus isn't a % boost, but rather a direct increase to your max hit. Thus a berserker ring will boost your max by 10 LP on a CR as well as on a CLS. Thus, since you get 4 CLS hits for ever 5 CR hits, you get a POTENTIAL higher boost (Over time) with CR then CLS. Same for fero ring. Everytime you hit wearing it, you get +40 damage (On task in kura's DG of course). So hitting 12 times with CR will boost your bonus damage more then the 8 hits with the CLS. That is assuming approximate accuracy. With x pots/defender/slay helm/ardy cape or fire cape/turmoil, the CR is insanely accurate.

Max hit calculator is [cabbage]. Want pictures? Using the Max hit calculator as the "end all" to determine a max his is not only asinine, but based on far too many unknowns (Compared to the old whip/defender combo) to be reasonably accurate.

LOLOLOLOL. Rapier hitting over 700's in kuras dungeon says high.

I'll have 99 FM, I already have it IRL

I find that highly offensive.

This is how bad Saru will fail IRL Good thing saru doesn't need to impress ladies.

This is his favorite football player.

Needs a fridge there too.

I find this more fitting for your monkies to play my cowbells@@

How do you know what I did and order, are you snooping?

You can't help it, you are a p mod. *hug* And it should be "rian" not "rain"

Well I'm pking so GF.

Obama. Posting here isn't efficient bye nubs.

THIS #*()T^&_(ehigop:idlkbsn IS SPAM This isn't. lrn2sparta.

But if you don't plead the 5th it doesn't count/.

Use K top instead of arma so you don't lose melee bonuses; you are already losing defender. And before I got my claws I used Hally for spec and whip+defender for normal melee. It was surprisingly good.

When I was in Ireland I didn't e-mail anyone at home, and My mom got mad at me I was like LAWLWUT I was only gone for 2 weeks.

I've been semi-lurking dis blog for awhile I just saw how much win is here now. How are those teletubbies dood

MUDDER [bleep]ER THIS BLOG IS MADE OF WIN I'M NOW IN MIT#####################

You buy bandos and a dfs once. Gotta have prayer level (costs money..usually. although just once) Then prayer potions... Wearing DFS while meleeing on any task that is not called skeletal wyvern or scabarite automatically qualifies you as a "noob who wears the funniest things". Why? And I agree with whoever said this is a lot of personal preference... Because a rune defender is better and is easy to get and costs nothing. Preference...I like having more defense. That's fine, but in terms of efficiency I imagine a rune defender would be better. I don't need to imagine, I know for a fact that defender is better. You NEVER need the defense. Ever.
