sarg1010 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 You could try an Obby sheild, Granite if you need range def, Rune defender if you have a whip, or just a Rune kitesheild would probably do.

Made0f12une Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Im using a rune square TBH. It's cheap and effective. And not many people use them, so you'll be unique. ^^ClicK^^"I backed my car into a cop car the other dayWell he just drove off sometimes life's ok...Alright already we'll all float onAlright don't worry we'll all float on" - Isaac BrockDays Hunting:4 - Kingly Imps Caught:2Money Earned: 4.5-5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Smither Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'd use the Berzeker Shield from FOG since it's cheap and I'm guessing you can't afford a DFS atm. But an obby shield is good too.

Lenticular_J Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Dragon square shield. Pure win. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderJ Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Eh, just get an obby shield. Little strength bonus, and the same great ranged def as granite. Orrrr get a Rune Defender. Orrrr get a Crystal Shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmath Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Eh, just get an obby shield. Little strength bonus, and the same great ranged def as granite. Orrrr get a Rune Defender.

RyderJ Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Ah yes. D Squares are ftw. But I personally use a rune defender on slayer. With a whip, it's quite amazing offense, and it's also +20 in most defense anyway, so it's not like your completely forgoing shield defense.

Deathmath Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I have no experience with defenders, but as multipurpose I really like d squares. Still for most slayer (low atk high hp low def) I agree that a defender would be a much better choice. And to add to that I may be just about the only person that likes these but a guthix book of balance can give some nice multipurpose stat boosts.

RyderJ Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 The Guthix book attack bonus is... nothing, really. Same with the defense. You'd never notice it. If you want the +4 magic def, get a sara book instead. Or a Mind Shield. But I suggest getting a Rune Defender for multipurpose, a D Square for harder monsters, and save up for a Dragonfire shield.

Canineteeth Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Obsidian shield is a pain buying though, and almost evrything goes over it in case of death. but I still like my obby shield. so pick obby shield. tokzt-ket-xil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinguimmaiden Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 4 good options: Rune defender Obby shield Granite shield Rune defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Is_Great Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Rune defender, but i could take a while to get. Also, granite shields are cheap, rune kites, d squares are all good choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Servo Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Dragon square and obby sheilds are the best. (I prefer the Dragon square) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidium Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 i don't really like obby shields...if you want cheap good def use granite...if you want cheap good mix of offense and defense use rune defender...obby shield is much more expensive than granite and only gives a 5 str bonus...for harder monsters try using dragon [] which is very good value for its low price...dfs are a bit over priced if u ask me but well you have to expect that from the best shield in the game... maxed out melee on 10/10/08, current goal: 94/99 cookinglife may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?my fake plant died because i forgot to pretend to water it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyPunchers Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Level 128 and using Rune defender. 8-) You're best option imo. But obby shield is good too. And imo better than a dragon shield. I can't stand a shield without atleast some offense bonuses. But still, dragonfire owns all 8-) Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide.

MicroLegionnaire Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'd say an obby shield. Its a lot cheaper than a dragon square, and it doesn't really lose out defence wise. Not a big fan of rune defenders though. Yes, flame me for it. I use a dragon square, acts as bling while still being useful. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderJ Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Okay then, here's my solution. Get 90 Defense and THEN use a rune defender. :P Really, that offense is totally awesome. And as long as you use Guthans/B2P to heal instead of an inventory of food, it's not that bad. I tried out a d sq for a while, but I really did miss the extra attack. Get a Rune defender or twelve.

Star_Fox Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 DON'T use prayer books. something effective like a dragon square or an obsidian shield would be good choices. dragfire would be probably too expensive. rune defender is only useful on higher lvls because of their sustainable defence.

cat666 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Rune Defender is your best bet. If you are getting hit too often and need defense the the Dragonfire Shield is the best option, however a Rune Kite should suffice. Guthans and Bunyips help a lot ;) Trust the Gene Genie!
