First of all, that's this thread. Secondly, compfreaks calculations were based on efficiency in training, while I am talking about pking. His argument was that in the time it takes to get a torso, you could have gained a ton of exp using a simple addy chain. But thats PvM in PvP the defense bonus of the torso vs rune plate is negligible, it gives 1 less slash defense, which is most warriors attack with, and 4 more strength bonus? Thats completely worth it, imo, and in almost every other zerker pures opinion. just look up zerker pure on youtube, almost every one is wearing torso + rune defender+ barrows gloves, these things are what bring our strength almost to the 1 defence pure range. But whatever, the pro-pkers on tip don't think so. EDIT: it has better slash defence than rune plate. Its obviously superior to Rune Plate in PVP.
