What's The Best Combat Armour For 1 Defense?

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

 

 

I've got 1 defense and I was wondering what the best possible Armour for combat is? Is it just full iron with iron boots etc? or am I missing something?

 

 

 

Thanks a lot!

Best dhide chaps you can wear, not sure about a torso though. Are climbing boots 1 def?

Yup they are, but i think you had to complete Troll Romance to a certain point to access them.

 

 

 

I'm not sure, but wasn't Khazard armor stronger than iron plate?

 

 

 

Anyway, other than that, don't forget obby capes >.> Might not be worth the extra gold though. Many pures just take the mage cape.

If you're wearing dragonhide vambraces and you've got a hunter level up above forty or so (it might be even lower than that, I'm not sure atm), you can get obtain kebbit claws from deadfall traps and give the vambraces [bleep]es for an extra +2 strength bonus.

Regen/combat brace is better. They give +7 and +6 strength respectively with no wielding requirements.

Awesome, thanks!

Tbh you shouldn't bother with trying to get your defence bonusses up... You're 1 def anyway, it doesn't matter ;)

Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)

Dagannoth kings drops: 73

Barrows item count: 51

GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)

Whips: 4

Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)

Tbh it does matter, as +50 def bonus is much better than 0

I'm retired from Runescape due to my really bad connection, maybe coming back soon

Extra "dodge" always helps...

HELM: Not sure. Coif? Robin? I seriously don't know.

 

AMULET: Fury/Glory

 

TOP: Iron

 

LEGS: Best dhide chaps

 

GLOVES: Regen/combat brace, or rfd gloves if you can get any better than those. Not sure if a 1 def pure can though.

 

SHIELD: Zamorak/Saradomin Book I believe? Or is it elemental shield?

 

WEAP: Whatever it is you use

 

RING: Zerker/Warrior/Life

 

BOOTS: Climbing

Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide. Because of you all I will start rewriting it asap.[/color]

Range top unfortunately requires 40 defence.

I said Rouge. It's the armour you get from the Rouge's den minigame.

Correction. Rogue. Rouge is a kind of makeup. A rather silly thing to confuse. :P

:shock:

 

 

 

Anyway, I looked up the stats for both. Iron platebody beats the Rogue top in every defensive stat, except magic where there is a 16 difference. The Rogue top is very light, however.

 

 

 

I would still use Iron Plate though.

5 def on a strength pure is serious epic win. :D

I dont need a siggy no moar.

regen/cmb brace, or get mithril gloves from recipe for disaster

 

 

 

theyre pretty good, have +6 str, i have them on my pure.
