I know this question has probably been asked hundreds of time on this board, but here it goes again. I have enough money saved up for anti-fire shield. I already have a Saradomin sword and all the Barrows equipment I care for.

 

 

 

Should I get the anti-fire shield or save up for a God sword. And if God sword which one is the best all around. I don't care if your opinion is based on which one looks raddest or this one will impress other players more cause it costs more. I could truly care less about all that. I want what is gonna be best all around. Or should I get some Bandos or Armadyl equipment.

 

 

 

As far as combat, when I do start working on it again, I plan on doing Slayer and maybe do some fighting at God Wars Dungeon which by the way I have never done, but definitely have the stats to do it. I may be doing some Aviansie killing to which I also have never done. Once again, my stats are good to go on that. I hope this helps on which is gonna be better priority wise.

 

 

 

Thanks for any help, greatly appreciated.

Its dragonfire shield and i think you should get it for the defence (if youre doing slayer)

ags pvp

 

sgs slayer

 

zgs cwars, sgwd

 

bgs cheap ags

Well, if you do some ranging on the side, DFS is awesome. And i think in the long run, DFS is good all around look/stats.

 

 

 

As for SGS, i think think all gs are good for any PvP activity, but in the long run, a waste of money.

might try out each of the gs's through lending. their really all good all around. they each just have different specs that might go great with certain things. dragonfire shield would be great with gwd and avianses like i think someone else put above here. have you thought about sarasword? cheap alternative to gs's plus its like a cross between gs(str bonus) and a whip(speed)

ags pvp

 

sgs slayer

 

zgs cwars, sgwd

 

bgs cheap ags

 

 

 

I don't do pvp, so I guess that kicks that expensive bad boy out.

 

I am probably going to be concentrating on Slayer mostly, so Saradomin God Sword is looking good.

 

I am assuming you mean Zamorak God Sword for Castle Wars as a first choice, then a Saradomin God Sword for a second choice. I don't do Castle Wars either, so that can help narrow it down.

 

Then I guess you mean Bandos God Sword is a cheaper slightly less effective version of Armadyl God Sword?

 

 

 

Since I would mostly be doing Slayer more than likely, and more than likely a little God Wars Dungeon action, still leaves Saradomin looking good I suppose? I was more or less leaning towards the Dragonfire Shield though and whip for Slayer, and thinking it could also be used in God Wars effectively.

 

 

 

I don't mind waiting and saving for the God Sword, but at the same time if I can get by with all around effectiveness at a cheaper cost, I am all for it. I am far from a wow factor player. All around effectiveness is more important to me than impressing other players with expensive, although awesome items.

 

 

 

I suppose my main question is. Is saving for a God Sword going to be the better decision. I am thinking the shield is the better choice just for all around play and effectiveness and the sword could come later. As I mentioned. Wowing other players is the least of my purchasing concerns.

 

 

 

Edit: Well, while competing for yews and trying to type this post, a few replies were made. Thank you everyone for your input. I think I will go with the shield, especially since I already do have the Saradomin Sword and whip. And I have seen in a lot of guides where the Saradomin Sword is actually suggested over God Swords anyway. Thank you, I was leaning towards that and you all just confirmed what I was kind of thinking.

rune defender>dfs

 

 

 

go for sgs

Would you mind explaining a little why Rune defender is > than DFS. (I do have defender by the way) Is the attack bonus really that much better than the awesome defense of the DFS? Also, having that much more defense especially when fighting dragons seems like a nice added bonus. Especially since I don't pray on blue iron or steel dragons. I find sharks more effective than praying and using prayer pots, at least in my mind, seeing as how I get full inventory of drops using sharks anyway. Even though I can make my own prayer pots, sharks are cheaper than prayer pots, and why waste them when you get full inventory using food? And that is using Rune armour. No degrading barrows or fancy smancy high dollar armour.

unless your a hardcore slayer who likes fighting dragons

 

rune def more efficient that dfs in terms of low def monsters

 

 

 

barrows top/bottom>rune

 

 

 

10k an hr in repairs

If you plan on slaying, then get a Saradomin godsword.

SS has the same slash, strength, and speed as a whip, but is 2 handed to no defender. Know before you post.

 

 

 

...I am assuming you mean Zamorak God Sword for Castle Wars as a first choice, then a Saradomin God Sword for a second choice. I don't do Castle Wars either, so that can help narrow it down...

 

He means that Zgs's are used at Saradomin god wars dungeon.

The shield is good at dragons, and that's about it. Current armour had plently of defence, and healing isn't an issue especially with a Sgs.

Saradomin sword is good for strength training, and nothing else.

 

 

 

rune defender>dfs

 

 

 

go for sgs

 

Yep.

19 slash > 2 strength. Barrows gives plenty of defence. Why the hell would anyone use rune if they can wear better?

Okay then. Say I forgo the DFS and decide to go with SGS. I do eventually want to get Bandos armour too. Would you suggest getting SGS or Bandos armor first. I do already have SS if that would have any bearing on the decision. Armadyl is nice, but I am more of a melee guy than a ranger, so Armadyl armour can wait.

 

 

 

Edit: I wear rune when it is plenty good for the task. Makes no sense to me to pay for degrading costs even though I can afford it, especially repairing it in my POH. As I have stated, I am a sensible player, I try to make cost effective decisions. I guess you could say I am a tightwad. But I don't wear something just because I can or to impress other players. If I can get the job done just as effectively and save a few pennies, then that is what I use/do.

 

 

 

Yes, I have been called a noob plenty of times wearing rune. But hey, that's their demon to deal with, not mine.

 

 

 

I personally find it silly when I see someone training in torags or some other barrows outfit when they clearly don't need it, but I guess that is my demon.
