RayOxide Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I know for a fact that a rune defender is obviously better than an obsidian shield, especially when theres no need for the defence. I can stay at many places I've been for a while without the need of an extra +20 (Rune defender gives 20 and obby round 40 = 20) So today, (muted if anyone noticed. Only 24 hr) I decided to get my iron defender :lol: up to rune, It took around 3 hours to get the defenders. Black from Mith was really quick, but iron - steel - black was atleast 1 hr each. Anyway, with my new rune defender; which looks awesome in comparison to the obsidian shield, I'd love to know how this has advantages over the shield. I know it has attack bonus, and I havent tested it yet since I've been running around aimlessly for no reason today. So, what shall I do with my rune defender? I know kinda pointless but I just need to know the differences ;) I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00bfiterpk6 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 rune defender is alot more usefull for like ererything then an obby shield. It has massive attack bonus's which are very helpful, the more accurate hits mean faster kills, meaning you take less damage then you would with the obby anyway. IMO a rune defender is even better then a DFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo0 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 The Rune Defender gives you the extra 20 to your attack (As you already know, no doubt. :P) This makes your attacks more accurate. That's more helpful than defence in a place where you hardly get hit anyway. Yes... Yes, that's what he said. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddo89 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Faster kills, which means faster XP. With the best weapon you can use a defender, the whip, you are essentially added almost 20% in attack bonus, which is no small number considering the power. Extra strength always helps. There isn't really many instances I can think of that would make me want to use an Obby shield. If I can't survive with a defender for too long, then I prefer something like Dragon Square over it. Just go and use it, satisfaction guaranteed. Templar GuardiansWhen are trying to lend something, the word to use is borrow. Not barrows, which is a mini-game.

psvstef Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 exactly wat i was thinking. :lol: you can test the rune defender on many places,just a monster with alot of hp,who hit you sometimes. for me that would be: dust devils fire giants nechs edit:saw you slayer,so fire giants may be an option ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderducke Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 The rune defender is obviously better, as it gives you more kills over time then an obsidian shield. I assure you this is not a sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grogthurk Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I got a Rune Defender the first day they came out. I have to say, the second I got it, I got rid of my obby shield. For awhile, I was ridiculed for using my Defender, but now who's laughing? Defender is always going to win this debate, UNLESS you need the defense, but if you need defense get some barrows.

RayOxide Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Tells me what I already know. Is it not possible to tell someone in what situations obby shield may be needed more?

Grogthurk Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 To be honest, there really is never a situation where you should use it over a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 That is not true. Boss monsters perhaps? I would use the defender when the thing you are killing does little damage and has high defence. If you have a very high attack level, the dfs is a better option, for it's huge defence bonus. Its strength bonus is also higher than a rune defender's. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inuashakent Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 To be honest, there really is never a situation where you should use it over a defender. Scarabites is the only non dragon exception.
