June 13, 200917 yr I've been reading some questions and guides on this topic: Whether or not Proselyte is better than Bandos at Armoured Zombies. So i pose the question to you, which is better for experience at Armoured Zombies?
June 13, 200917 yr Isnt Void best? **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide]
June 13, 200917 yr Bandos. People use prosolyte so you don't have to recharge your prayer as often, so you don't have to pay as much attention. But unless you have bandos chest/fighters torso and tassets, neitiznot, and barrows gloves, void is better. quit

But unless you have bandos chest/fighters torso and tassets, neitiznot, and barrows gloves, void is better. I'd assume Void would be better than the above due to high hits, but I never been to AZ's. #-o [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]
June 13, 200917 yr I'd go with proselyte the extra time between altar trips is going to allow you to save more time then an 1 higher hit here and there. Void gets me an extra 13k per hour over proselyte.

June 13, 200917 yr I would say Bandos... Cause it got a little prayer bonus and strength bonus :D By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. - Confucius
June 13, 200917 yr If you want str bonus AND prayer bonus, you should do this... Bandos ( full ) = 6 str bonus and +2 pray DFS + prossy = 7 str bonus AND + 14 pray ( I think? ).
June 13, 200917 yr ^ But because you're using a DFS instead of a rune def, you will hit less often and gain less esp per hour. The above setup gives higher def and pray bonuses allowing you to stay longer, but the +1 str bonus will not compensate for the -19 slash bonus. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots
June 13, 200917 yr With full bandos and a bunyip I could do trips with piety alone and no melee prayers almost taking no damage. This means that I can stay longer because im not using both protection and piety and high str bonus. Void is definitely better for a higher exp/hr, but I prefer bando because I don't have to worry about my hp and can multi-task.
June 14, 200917 yr Bandos is the best. Because 1) It has best ranged defence in the game and AZ use ranged+melee 2) It has good melee defence 3) It gives you +6 Strength bonus. Void - low defence Proselyte - No need for Prayer bonus, all you need is to stay focused. Kill,Kill, go recharge..Kill,Kill. Bandos - Greatest ranged defence+Strength bonus - YES PLEASE!

June 14, 200917 yr Just tested each for 5 minutes myself. No pots, only Piety. Prossy: 5,612 xp Bandos: 5,680 xp Void: 4,748 xp No offense but you can't conclude anything at all by just testing for 5 mins. Also void's effect is increased when potted because its a percentage of your skills boost.
June 14, 200917 yr Proselyte is probably going to outperform when the difference in defense becomes irrelevant. If your bunyip is overhealing you in Bandos, you can probably switch to proselyte and the prayer bonus will beat the strength bonus. Or you can always use the bandos for the top and prossy for the bottom. Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP
June 14, 200917 yr I prefer Bandos. Thats what I use, anyway. I make up for it by using a stole instead of a Fury, so I still get good prayer bonus and good strength bonus. Just tested each for 5 minutes myself. No pots, only Piety. Prossy: 5,612 xp Bandos: 5,680 xp Void: 4,748 xp 5 minutes isn't enough for a valid test, because of the luck factor. But I think it puts things in perspective. If you pot, the Void will perform better, but not enough to outshoot Proselyte/Bandos. Did you restore your prayer during the test? Because the advantage of Proselyte is that you restore prayer less and thus have more time for training. ¤¤ 20death04 in Runescape, Semi-Retired ¤¤100M+ Net Worth - Yes I do own the AGS in my avatar.
June 15, 200917 yr I prefer Bandos. Thats what I use, anyway. I make up for it by using a stole instead of a Fury, so I still get good prayer bonus and good strength bonus. And then you miss the defence and accuracy from the fury...

June 15, 200917 yr yeah 5 minutes isnt long enough for a good test I would think void has the best maximum potential, but im not sure what is going to do the best when you arent training at 100% focus. Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.

Because the advantage of Proselyte is that you restore prayer less and thus have more time for training. Yes, I did. 5 minutes is pretty much worthless data. Without pots is even worse. Salve and Void are based on your stats so the more boosted they are the more damage you can do. If you did about 10 sets of 5 minute data then it might be considered close to being accurate data, but just 5 minutes is about as bad as you can get. Do atleast 30 minutes each method with a few runs for better data. Void is far better then prossy the only reason I wouldn't use void would be for better afk training. In 5 minutes you have to pray 2 twice with void compared to once with prossy, although if you lengthen it to 6/7 minutes it changes to 3 compared to 2. The gap gets smaller the more minutes you go. Like I said after doing about 4/5 45 minutes trips with both, void gains atleast 10k exp more per hour then prossy for me.

June 15, 200917 yr Void gives the fastest xp. Proselyte is the most convenient because you need to recharge a lot less often. Bandos is not the fastest and not the most convenient. Therefore you shouldn't use it. Always use a rune defender over DFS by the way, it's faster. And please, use super attack and strength pots.
