Gargoyles crush?

[Gonalo40]

Hi

 

 

 

a friend told me its better to kill gargoyles with ss and crush on than whip

 

 

 

is that true?

[Cptbaker08]

They;re kinda equal. At my stats i can use a Whip+rune def and kill them just fine. They are weak to crush but its not as bad as waterfiends (also weak to crush) where you absolutely need a crush weapon to be able to kill effectively. OF course the crush weapon helps, but you also lose the choice of using the Rune Defender which helps.

[manitstinks]

Pretty much the same. Shouldn't go all through that just to attack a monster's weakness.

[Zaaps1]

The weakness isn't big enough to make a profound impact. Stick with whip.

 

 

 

It's the same with dragons. I bet you didn't know that dragons are weak to stab attacks. But it doesn't matter since their weakness isn't big enough to make stab weapons better than the whip.

Yes, SS is better than a whip for gargoyles. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong and inexperienced.

I gotten 3 tasks of Gargoyles. 2 of which i used Whip+Def, and the other i used a SS on Crush (i was going for def the first 2 tasks and str the 3rd). I did not notice any different in the time it took to kill them. Also i have a large group of friends who also say the same thing. Gargs do have a weakness to crush, but since they have a weak defense themselvees, you can easily kill with a whip.

 

 

 

And as Zaaps1 said dragons are weak to stab, but up to irons you can easily kill with a whip. Steels and Miths are easier to kill with a LBS.

Leaf-Bladed Sword.

 

 

 

Side note: most people say that its not as good as a whip on miths, but it does work quite well. I did a small test and noticed more consistent hits while with a whip i did higher hits, but a lot of 0's.

Leaf bladed sword, best 1 handed stab weapon.

 

 

 

Edit: beat me to it.

Oh, I'm sorry, I totally did not know that you tested it a total of ONE TIME.

It doesn't matter, if you have high stats and the Gargs have low defense their weakness doesn't make much of a difference. Yes gargs are weak to crush, but if you're using a whip it doesn't make much of a difference. And im not the only person to have killed them. If you go to a spot of gargs you will notice that people kill gargs both with whip+def and a ss. Its up to you which to use. Same with most creatures. But the stronger creatures, like waterfiends and mithril dragons, you need to use what they are weak against or you will have a hard time killing them.

A lot of people fish sharks because they think it's good money, but does that make it true?

 

 

 

No.

 

 

 

Keep in mind that most players absolutely suck at Slayer. Players with much higher slayer levels than you have done extensive testing, which is why we know these things. You wont notice a difference in just one slayer task.

You have 86 and he has 90 you have a much higher slayer level don't you. And they don't have that high defense, but if you want to use a crush weapon you can if you feel it helps.

[Cptbaker08]

Ok but SS may be better, but its not much of a differenc. I also know a big group of people, and just asked. They said ss is better, i've been told that whip+def doesnt make much of a difference. But still if u have good enough stats, and don't have 7m spare, whip+def will work just fine.

 

 

 

Lulz at Death. (btw i just got 90 slayer and only had a total of 3 Garg tasks. So i never killed them much.)

[Zaaps1]

Between the rock hammer and their extremely annoying flying animation, I have gargs blocked. They're a great task and all, but they annoy the hell outta me...

[Tribbleman]

Considering your stats, whip+def will probably perform better. If you end up using another type of shield (no atk bonus), then the SS would do better.

[deadngone]

I use whip + defender and yet and yet, I hit constant 30s. EZ task.

 

 

 

NOTE- I use slayer helm.

[ilovecardj]

I noticed no difference getting 99 str with ss on slayer (lots of garg tasks) and 99 def on slayer (lots of garg tasks)

 

 

 

Basically if your training str use ss with crush, if not just use whip. If you have a dscim id not use it and use a whip.

[Lets_3ekout]

They're just about equal - ss will have more accuracy by a very small amount while whip will have a small strength advantage (from defender).

 

 

 

Don't go buying a SS just for garg assignments, unless of course you want to train strength :thumbup: Choose your weapon based on what stats you want to train.

[meme79]

SS is marginally better, but save your money and don't buy ss unless you already have for str training

It's the same with dragons. I bet you didn't know that dragons are weak to stab attacks. But it doesn't matter since their weakness isn't big enough to make stab weapons better than the whip.

 

 

 

I beg to differ on one count. Killing mith dragons with a leaf bladed sword on stab is far better than killing them with a whip. Steels it is close, and irons are weaker anyway so lbs=whip it seems.
