Should i buy a Saradomin Sword?

Featured Replies

Well ive managed to work myself upto 12mil in 3days killing a crap load of Aviansies. I want to start training my Attack and Defence again as soon as i have 93 Ranged. By then i should have about 17mil or 18mil in my bank. I was wondering wether or not i should buy a Saradomin Sword to train those to skills. I know most of you would say that whip is the best weapon to use when training them but i have found a SS to be a bit more accurate and theat i find myself gaining Exp a little bit faster than with a whip. Should i rather save the money i have or will a SS be a wise investment on my way to maxing out my skills.

 

 

 

Please not the i will most likey still use my SS after i have reached 99 Attack and Defence on some slayer tasks till i have enough money to buy an Armadyl God Sword.

dont. its only good for str. the slightly better accuracy is just fluctuations in the data, over time, whip with defender will destroy SS. get bandos tassets/plate instead.

hmm.. i ca nt say from experience but because you can wield rune defender my guess is whip is better, then you can buy fury berserk ring or even a bandos piece

Maybe get Dfs instead then?

You are 92 defence, don't spend your money on a DFS, it's really just not necessary and will cut down on your exp/hour dramatically.

 

 

 

If you were going to use a whip and DFS to train att and def it wouldn't make sense because that is pretty much like using a SS only with a shield. The rune defender makes all the difference here, and you won't need the defence from the DFS anyway.

 

 

 

Stick with the Whip+Defender its been tried and tested over and over and still remains at the top for training.

Apparently, my signature was to big.

Well for Melee i use Fighter torso, Torags legs, Neitiznot helm, whip and rune def. If i was to buy a Dfs i would have a very good def bonus which would make my fighter torso a bit better than it is now( most people say its rubbish coz of the bad def). For Ranged im going to buy full arma once i have enough money and then probably also use the Dfs for def bonus when tanking. The Dfs will be very handy when i slay dragons (which i do quite often), thats one of the main reasons i thought of buying one.

then go ahead and buy a dfs, and use a efender when not killing dragons.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with a dfs, its only good for killing dragons and things with no defense(blessed spirit shield is better for gwd, the +3 prayer and no negatives outweighs the 20 extra defense)

 

I would buy bandos, looks badass, has enough defense to handle most monsters and a nice strength and prayer bonus

2Xeo5.png

The ONLY reason to ever buy a saradomin sword is to train strength as a focus (since the whip can only train strength through controlled).

Whats your current setups?

Get void range instead

yes.png

You want to train attack with a saradomin sword? What? A whip is the same strength and attack but 2 handed so you can use a defender, no reason to spend the extra 5.5m on a worse weapon.

quit

The only good thing about the SS is its crush attack, which most people use on Waterfiends, and the +2 prayer bonus but thats minimal to what you can wear. The Spec is ok but switch to a DD(p++) for the specs if you do so.

I think i kind of mis worded myself there. When i get enough money, will DFS/Whip be a better combo?

Whip+dfs would be better then SS, but Rune Defender is better then DFS.

 

There is what i ment, accidently put it in the quote instead of after it. But whip/DFS is better then SS due to the higher Str from the DFS and the defense bonuses it gives. But the Def is better due to the Attack bonuses from the Def.

Well with 92+ atk, is an attack bonus really needed? I can also just wear a warrior ring to make up for it?

But you also got a high def so no need for the Def from the DFS, the more accurate the more often you'll hit something, therefore the faster you get exp. The DFS as i see it is only good for Dragons and boss hunting. Other then that Whip+def is the best for training.
