pureprayer Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 My spending limit is 1m-ish. I want to camp slayer using Torags and a shield but i want to use a better shield than Granite. I am planning to get a D Square and see if that works. Also no crystal shield. Pureprayer, you're awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathmath Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 A d square is for you. Unless you want an obby shield for the mixture of atk and def. Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathmath Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Hey, but his budget is a mil and he doesn't want to use a defender. EDIT: I am saying that although a dragon shield is not a great value it fits what he wants out if it. I myself would still personally recommend a defender and also agree that we should know why he doesn't want to use one.

On topic, you could try using one of those berserker shields from FOG, but in all honesty you should just get a rune defender...

Seanthorn Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Even someone like me would say defender is best. Defender is 'basically' the best melee 'shield' in the game, no one can argue against that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_bubbabob Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Get the obby shield. It looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamster Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Rune defender is definitely the best if you're doing Slayer; nothing else really comes close. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecardj Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 The best defense is a a good offense. If your d sq would have saved you a few hp per monster, the rune defender would have taken down the monster faster resulting in less hits, saving you the hp. on top of that your getting alot better exp. defender is best no doubt, no other shield is worth considering imo but if you really insist against it, use a obby shield instead Dragon Drops: 80+ boots, 7 med, 3 skirt, 2 left half, 2 Spear, 2 2hSlayer: 30+ whips, 4 Bows, 1 Mask, 3 Granite Legs, 1 Visage (Wyverns)Notable GWD Splits: Bandos Tassets: 12, Bandos Chest: 11, Bandos Hilt: 2Proud Slayer of 99 Att/Str/Def/HP/Range/Summoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecardj Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I can notice a massive difference in accuracy between the obby shield and rune defender, defender is really amazing Dragon Drops: 80+ boots, 7 med, 3 skirt, 2 left half, 2 Spear, 2 2hSlayer: 30+ whips, 4 Bows, 1 Mask, 3 Granite Legs, 1 Visage (Wyverns)Notable GWD Splits: Bandos Tassets: 12, Bandos Chest: 11, Bandos Hilt: 2Proud Slayer of 99 Att/Str/Def/HP/Range/Summoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptbaker08 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 obby is also better if you dont have a rune defender....like me. but still i tested with a friend and the obby shield does protect from alot of damage that the defender doesnt.

child_sycopath Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I would always go for the defender, It works so much better for slayer, For almost everything melee related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel555555 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 several options all depend on which monster your killing rune def for weaker monsters that u want to kill faster like cave crawlers obby shield if ur doing tougher higher hitting monsters like gargoyles, because obby shield gives a def boost as well as giveing same str boost as rune def zamy or sara book if u get monsters that have a magic and melee based att like pyre fiends and bloodvelds i wouldn't use d sq because it doesn't give as much att and str boost as defender or obby [spoiler=click you know you wanna]Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies.

Obtaurian Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Defenders are by far your best bet. If you absolutely refuse to use one for whatever reason, an Obsidian Shield works quite well. A Dragon Sq is really just for looks. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
