UnknownRemoval Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I hear people saying that black mask and helm is useless due to it's low defense, although I fear it is not while slaying. Have you ever encountered this, and what are it's cons? Retired Crew Member | Retired RuneScape Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnknownRemoval Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Wasn't aiming for 50k, I was asking this anyway. That post just made me ask it now rather than later. :oops: But this is genuine, I want to know the cons of using the mask.

CampbellMC Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 People who say it is bad for slayer because of its low defence are complete and utter idiots. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinguimmaiden Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Agree cause if you lose def on helm you gain at using a DFS for example.... Or get 99 def and wear the mask :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnknownRemoval Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 So, people have no base ground for arguing against the effectiveness of a black mask and helmet? This is annoying. :?

cat666 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Only use helm/mask with slayer tasks. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnknownRemoval Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Obviousy, but I was wondering about why many people disagree with using it while slaying. Retired Crew Member | Retired RuneScape Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampbellMC Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Many people don't, and the few that do disagree with the helmet are probably level 50's with 15 slayer. You have two people with 92+ slayer posting in this topic, listen to them. I am 99 slayer and I have another account with 93, I know a little about it.

UnknownRemoval Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks. I do know that the mask/helmet is good, I just wanted to know why people say it's 'rubbish' Retired Crew Member | Retired RuneScape Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampbellMC Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 These "people" that call it rubbish are just reffering to the fact that it has low defence compared to a torag's helmet or some other barrows. The fact is that it gives +15% att and str which no other helmet does at all, and those bonuses are huge. Another way to look at this is compare a rune defender to say a mithril kiteshield. Sure the kite has more defence, but the defenders bonuses overpower it by so much that it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnknownRemoval Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 That was my thoughts. And yeah, who needs a bit more defenxe when you kill it before it has a change to hit you. \ Retired Crew Member | Retired RuneScape Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_way2go Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 also slayer helm > black mask due to it's better def bonusses.... - Back to casual f2p scaping due to limited time (university and girlfriend ) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat666 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 also slayer helm > black mask due to it's better def bonusses.... and the fact you don't need to remember to carry a nosepeg with you when you take the shortcut to Mages/Bloodveld/Gargoyles/Nechs/Abby Demons.
