Guthans useful without spear?


Vulxai

Recommended Posts

Is guthans useful without the spear? I'd be using it to train and I'd be wearing:

 

guthans helm

 

rune gloves (barrows once I get them)

 

whip

 

guthans plate

 

rune defender

 

guthans chainskirt

 

ROW

 

rune boots (dragon if I manage to get them)

 

Obby cape (99 cape when I get one+)

 

 

 

So would guthans be useful without the spear?

 

 

 

If I didn't use guthans, I'd use all of the following but replace guthans with:

 

Helm of Neitiznot

 

Rune Plate

 

Rune Legs

It's not worth the money without the spear, so I think that you'd be better of with torag's plate/legs with a neitiznot helm. I'm still using the rune plate that I bought from oziach in classic, by the way.

Would it be wise to buy the full set, and then bring my regular training equipment (rune) and then switch to guthans when I need to heal instead of bringing food?

Great setup for Slayer: Black mask, Guthan's plate and skirt, Abyssal whip/dragon scimitar + rune defender, rest can be mixed. Bring along the helm and spear, so you can switch to full Guthans when you want to heal.

In short a Torag/Dharok mix is the best armour (I forget the exact combination). However Guthans can heal you which is a HUGE bonus when training. Verac's is OK for it's prayer bonus but not many monster's are prayed on.

 

 

 

As for training I personally keep my Guthans plate and skirt on for all tasks (cept when I need dragon hide, or prayer bonus). Then equip the helm and spear when I need to heal. Otherwise I use black mask and weapon/defender.

 

 

 

Some people prefer to use rune/dragon plate and legs to save on Guthans cost. However it costs me roughly 110k every 11 hours to recharge all 4 to 100% (72 smithing in house) and I easily make that on drops.

Why do people suggest using Torags over guthans, while the guthan counter parts are actually CHEAPER???

 

 

 

Guthan plate is like 500k max with the EXACT same bonus as torags (which i believe goes around 600k?).

 

 

 

The skirt is worse than torag's legs by 10, which is not a lot compared to the stats it already has.

 

 

 

Guthan helm might not be worth the 1.9m, because you can get torag's helm for far less, and their bonuses are the same.

 

 

 

In short: Guthan Body and Skirt are VERY useful on their own, with or without set. Helm? get torags if you want the defence, or go for Black mask/Helm of Neitiznot

Since I am cheap/poor, I use my rune plate, slayer mask, dragon skirt and whip/defender on combat training (=slayer). When I need food, I use the set to heal, then switch back. It's a very cheap way of melee training.

 

 

 

Of course, this does not go for mage/range assignments.
