Slayer Dart or Claws Of Guthix at Dagannoth Rex?

Featured Replies

Slayer Dart

 

Accurate, and is only based on your magic level. This means you can use any armor and the spell won't be effected.

 

 

 

Claws Of Guthix

 

Good spell, hits high: but is affected by armor. In other words you need to wear some magical attack bonus items.

 

 

 

It also uses 3 blood rune for the Charge+1 more for spell itself.

 

 

 

What one is best to do fast and good kills, but at same time last long inside the lair?

 

 

 

I want detailed answers please.

 

 

 

I myself think that Slayer dart might be it. Cause i can have high prayer+prayer, which is good ;)

Claws Of Guthix

 

Good spell, hits high: but is affected by armor. In other words you need to wear some magical attack bonus items.

 

 

 

 

Really? Why don't you go try it yourself.

 

Claws is obviously better

Not true, it's the same as any spell. It is not true that mage bonus doesn't affect it.

 

 

 

I'd go with CoG, just for faster kills. Twice as many bloods used but Rex dies a lot faster, and you only have to cast charge once every 5 minutes or something.

Actually i have tested it: and slayer dart is not affected by magic attack bonus in no way. Yes Rex dies maybe faster, but can you say anything about how long the trip lasts? (i haven't used COG at Rex)

Why are you posting for? I asked clearly for detailed answer. Yet you reply by saying to me to go and try it myself.

 

 

 

I got a question for you: why are you posting in this thread for? to help me or flame me?

 

 

 

If claws is better: please tell me why. As i said, i want detailed answers: as i know most of things myself. I am not being picky, but your telling me to go and try it myself. How is that helping me?

Yes Rex dies maybe faster, but can you say anything about how long the trip lasts? (i haven't used COG at Rex)

 

Just as long, obviously, as claws don't use any extra supplies or something. You kill way more rexes/trip though.

Ok i have analyzed Claws of guthix setup+ slayer darts.

 

 

 

Here thing:

 

 

 

i get 23 prayer bonus ( i forgot about voids prayer bonus)

 

+ When it comes to Range defense (spinos are major damagers , not rex): the difference between a dragon boot and a infinity is 0. As for the other defences, dragon boots is more, but it only matters if rex gets a hit on me which is rarely.

 

 

 

I also get -4 magical attack bonus: so my question is: how often do you hit on rex with -4 magical attack bonus if u kno?

 

 

 

Tell me a bit about much damages u do with ur setup please?

 

 

 

Anyhow here's my stats for setup i am gonna use.

It looks nice but i am unsure about the -4 magical attack bonus (Does that affect you hitting often, i need to check)

I suggest you do slayer dart, you can take better pray bonus gear and still hit high...

I have used Claws of Guthix with a magic bonus of about -10 before, still much quicker than Slayer dart.

I have used Slayer dart alot, and it's excellent spell. But seeing as SirHartlar answered my final question:

 

 

 

My conclusion will be: COG beats Slayer dart. Cause you do not loose any defense+prayer ( which matters for the trip). You just get a spell that kills rex faster and also +2 more prayer bonus.

 

 

 

Why? When using infinity boots (instead of dragon boots,slayer darT) you do not loose any range defense bonus (Spinos attacks with magic+range, and you pray magic most of time).

 

 

 

Also, when you use Guthix cape for the charge spell, you loose -4 prayer bonus but you get that prayer bonus back: from Void knight mace.

 

 

 

Void Knight mace gives +6 prayer bonus and it beats Skill cape.

 

 

 

So i can't wait to test this out once i am member again.

 

 

 

Thank you for your answers \'

Dragon boots don't give a range defense bonus

 

 

 

claws are better: hits higher

 

= faster kills

 

= more loot

Yeah, i got my answer. I also used my analyzing ability to figure things out. ::'

 

 

 

So no need to waste your time :|

Slayer Dart is affected by armor you (...Mod Edit: Don't attack people ~assassin). Charged CoG wins by default. :roll:

Odd. I checked Runescape wiki (long time ago), must have misread the text. Anyhow i did test Slayer dart with great magical attack bonus, did not see any difference between that and me killing Rex.

 

 

 

I don't find it more accurate using magic armor or barrow armor. Anyhow i know COG beats it at rex.

 

 

 

Thanks for that info: and reported for bad language.

Rs wiki is like the normal wiki I think, any idiot can edit it. Will you report me too for saying idiot? Seriously, you're asking to be flamed. In your siggy you ask (Edit - Asked) us to ignore your posts if we don't like them, would you mind doing the same for us?

I have heard that you+toast are friends. And both have the same thing in common: you both dislike me.

 

 

 

But i didn't think that you two would sink so low and stalk my threads.

 

 

 

Toast guy: "Go try it yourself" =This is help and advice section isn't it?

 

 

 

Hevendor: "Slayer is affected by your armor you idiot"

 

 

 

What are ya trying to prove with your postings?

 

 

 

It's time for you two to stop posting, but not me. I did a mistake about slayer dart, as i said: i misread what Runescape wiki said+i have myself tested slayer darts accuracy with and without magical armor. Have not notice any changes.

 

 

 

Anyhow you two weren't one to help me: so ...goodbye :mrgreen:

  • Author

I would like to advice for those who haven't notice to read the thread throughly: i have gotten my answers. :twisted:

 

 

 

As for slayer dart: goes, i did a mistake and i got corrected with insults. Real mature :|

They both have each other added on Ignore and argue a heck of alot on IRC.

 

 

 

On Topic:

 

 

 

Slayer Dart use to be better then CoG only for Auto Cast, since void mace became more popular its a cheap-mans dk tool, thats how i see it.

Yeah. Also reason why slayer dart is better cause you hit well and could use defensve armor.

 

 

 

Now i know that COG works well too with defensive armor and -4 magic attack bonus.

 

 

 

Also void knight gives+6 prayer bonus :) It's +2 better than Trimmed cape :twisted:

But no void piece goes in the cape slot...don't compare mace to skillcape, it's the god cape. :roll:

ok.....

 

 

 

Lemme explain then.

 

 

 

You use Guthix God cape instead of Trimmed cape for Chargespell+magic attack bonus.

 

 

 

Then the skill cape prayer bonus (+4) is out====

 

 

 

Then Void knight mace=backs it up and adds+2 more.

 

 

 

That's how it is.

 

 

 

I am not comparing cape with mace, i am just showing how Void Knight Mace can work as a prayer item+a replacement for Skillcape.

I know it's been answered, but claws is far better, good enough to make up for any lost defense bonuses. I've beaten 2 people using dart when I was using claws alone.

Np :mrgreen:

One question that wasn't answered was how long can some-one last with CoG. I start with a tortoise then switch to a bunyip when the tortoise is empty. I can usually last around 2 1/2 hours using this method. Haven't counted but I would guess between 50-60 kills. You could probably go longer with 99 def and titans.

Same as with dart lol. Only difference is you get a LOT more kills if you use claws.
