curmudgeony Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I've been looking at the debate between a rune kite and and obby shield Rune's stats are stab slash crush magic range + 44 + 48 + 46 - 1 + 46 Obby shield stab slash crush magic range + 40 + 42 + 38 + 0 + 65 Is the extra range protection worth the additional price?

Bludragon124 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Rune defender is better than both: Less defence, but the extra +20 attack bonus, +5 strength bonus is totally worth it. But given the choice between the two, yes, obsidian is worth it. Noted raw mackerel drop... Wtfh? Always buying: Watermelon seeds, 2K each. Strawberry seeds, 800 each. Contact Via PM on forums.

LJoker Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I say yes if you don't have a Rune defender. If you have a rune defender, well: I say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Fox Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 obby sheilds way better, i personally use it mainly cause of the str bonus. rune sheilds are used by lower lvls, or f2p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlanders Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 You seem worried about the price. I say, get a rune defender in the warriors guild, it's free. All you need is any set of armour, and depending on your level, a couple of hours. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freesia Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Rune defender > obby or rune shield Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severation Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Rune defender > obby or rune shield Depends on the situation. If you're fighting a monster that hits often, use the obby shield for the extra defence. If you're just wanting to hit hard and often, go with the defender. Rune kite has no real use.

Tim Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 stick to the topic, its obby vs rune, no defenders were in this. OT: id vote obby, caz of its str bonus, range def bonus and i like obby =] Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneChef Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'm using rune kite and it's been pretty loyal to me. I'd personally use rune kite but if you have the money, go for the obsidian shield. Plus, range bonus isn't that useful against monsters rather than players.
