asianboy7o7 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 stick to obby or rune def Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoknight2 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Im 117, and I find I use obby shield more. Dragon sq has like +8 more defensive stats, but -15 more range stats. I use obby shield a lot, but then again I only use shields at dks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Locust Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'd stick with an obby shield, that works just fine. The defender or a prayer book works fine too. The only reason I use a dragon square is because I got a shield half drop. Even then, purchasing the other half of the shield costs something like 700k from the Legend's Guild. I don't think it's worth it if you haven't done the quests.

noobs r us Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 hummmm i checked the stats and obby has lower melee def than rune kit -.- so should i either use obby or rune berserker? shame on all you people who call others noobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inuashakent Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 hummmm i checked the stats and obby has lower melee def than rune kit -.- so should i either use obby or rune berserker? It's Rune defender. Secondly, obby shield gives +5 str, just like a Rune defender. However, I would stick with the rune defender for it's slash bonuses... By the way, D sq's are useless.

curmudgeony Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 The defender is worth it, when going after monsters of lower level then yourself, it really give your attacks a punch. Take the time, the drops and exp are worth it, even prior to charm drops. Now, if you are fighting an equal level or higher, a d-squire is the way to go. The main problem I have with the obby is that its price vs protection isn't worth it. It literally isn't much better then a rune kite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobs r us Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 c thats what i think as it is so expensive i might as well just use my berserker. anyway i was wondering how long it takes to get a rune defender from the cyclopes, counting the time i have to spent to get the tokens to go in there..... shame on all you people who call others noobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_moocky Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 No. The amount of work you would have to do to be able to wear a dragon sq would be a waist. A rune kite has better melee defence then an obby shield, but the obby does have +5 str bonus. Another option is the rune defender, which has +5 str along with +20 stab, +19 slash, +18 crush, but with less then half of the defence of a rune kite. It's up to you what you would prefer: Lots of defence with a rune kite, a bit less defence and a bit more attack with an obby shield, or bad defence but good attack with a rune defender (keep in mind it takes a bit of work to earn in). Disregard the beserker because it wears out too quickly to be efficient. quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobs r us Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 yeah thanks although i think i will regard the rune berserker cuse i got more than 5k of tokens lol :lol: :lol: :lol: im addicted to fog i can't quit :wall: :wall: :wall: Its all I do now in rs :-# :-# :-# shame on all you people who call others noobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives 5 str bonus however which makes the rune kite useless compared to obby shield.

If ask the fog shop guy to wear them all out and then dump them in the GE and you won't have to worry about the cost of an obby sheild. Buy an obby cape and dragon boots while your at it. Get yourself a rune defender when you have the time though. quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidium Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 i bought my d [] to use specially for castle wars =P cause it has little or no negative mage bonus...i sometimes use it against nechs too as these can hit really hard even with torag...i would suggest using rune def on easier monsters and d sq on tougher ones...obby shield is a bit of a mix between rune def and d []... 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...

I know you probably bust a lot of money on skills etc, but with your combat stats, shouldn't you have a DFS by now? It's like...amazing for castle wars.

dorcus1 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'm becomming memb 4 first time ever.

There really is a simple way to look at this. You can buy an obby shield. You can't buy the dragon shield. Get an obby shield. Don't worry about the dragon shield. Just have fun in runescape, and do what you feel like doing. Before you know it you'll have the req's for d square. I personally find that I always end up using either my zammy prayer book or my rune defender. Or an anti-dragon shield when I go green dragon hunting.

Star_Fox Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 if 700k is too expensive for you, use an obby shield. sure, the defence is lower then a rune kite, but the range def, and the str makes up for it and it's one of the best shields to use at monster hunting.

Umoria Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 i'll think about the defender. I'm more of a safe type of person so i would pefer a shield... :| And i also don't know how long it usually takes to get a rune def, including time for tokens The time is good spend when you get a rune defender. Although it might take a hell of a time. I went too cyclopses and used over 4K of tokens before I ever had a bronze defender. Prepare for the worse but expect the best.
