Best bolt for pvp?

Featured Replies

I was thinking either addy diamond e for the armor piercing effect or rune for higher hits, but don't say something like onyx bolts or something overly expensive

I've never fought a ranger who used bolts in pvp worlds tbh. I'd recommend crystal bow if you have or msb with addy/rune arrows. Maybe someone who has used bolts will be able to give better advice, though.

The glory bolts are the best as long as the other guy isnt wearing a dragon fire sheild, or anti-dragon fire sheild, or has drank a antifire potion.(hits 60+) The onyx bolts dont really leach all that much to make a difference in a pvp fight. They good for dualing or fight caves or places where you cant recover health.

dragonstone bolts are the best for pvp, hits up to 70 but are quite expensive....(4k+)

Sorry, I guess I worded that wrong, I'm not necessarily looking to go to pvp worlds, just generally pvp. Duel arena, clan wars, fight pits, etc.

broad bolts are cheap and hit pretty well, imo the best choice for soul wars/castle wars and stuff. Diamond (e) 's armour piercing special is really nice, if you got enough money these would be my choice...

you only fought the darkbow/void pjers? Most rangers use bolts in pvp...

As others have said numberz, broad bolts are the most popular bolts for general pvping for its cost-effectiveness. You can use diamond bolts (e) if you are rich enough, I sometimes use sapphire mithril (e) to drain prayer, but the special is pretty unreliable. Basically, use broad bolts.

Guild Wars 2-In game screenshot, the MMORPG you are waiting for. Click for thread.

Diamond (e) bolts or dragon (e) are the only effective options to be honest.

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)

Broad bolts do not do well in PVP. Diamond bolts if your cheap, dragon if you don't mind spending a bit more.

Dry streak records: Saradomin 412 kills Bandos 988 kills Spirit Mages 633 kills - Slayer Sucks

Diamond (e) or at least runite, and use dragonfire when your opponent is at low health and hope for a ko.

Diamond (e) bolts or dragon (e) are the only effective options to be honest.

If you plan on doing Soul Wars, ruby (e) are good for killing the avatars.

Be specific? PvP could mean a lot of things. For worlds or BH dragon/diamond, for CW use crystal, for Soul Wars broad or diamond.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

OOOOOOHHHHHHH Dragon (e). Next time I am PVPing with my friend, I am gonna bust these out and see if he can survive the ONSLAUGHT!
