June 19, 200917 yr I was looking at some gear options for range tanking and came upon an interesting item comparison http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?item1=1219&item2=6908&rs2item_tools=&compare=&submit=Compare What it basically comes down to is which of these two items would be better for range tanking at something such as aviansie. The bracelet of regen has better defense in general along with the healing boost, the vambraces have a higher range bonus Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.
June 19, 200917 yr To me, it looks like the vambraces would be better, because the ranged attack bonus offsets any defence bonuses gained, considering you're not using the regen bracelet's attack bonuses or strength bonuses anyways. However, this topic is probably better suited to H&A than DC. There's not much potential for debate in this. Being immature is a part of being mature.

Actually, I'd disagree with vambraces ( :lol: ) For a regen you get the health restoration, too. Since you're tanking, chances are you want health. The regen, in addition to defences, can help you use less food. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr

While this doesnt have pages and pages of argument in it(who would have thought that about the torso vs addy chain) its certainly has some interesting discussion value.

But really, discussion value != debate value. There's not really any two sides to this - it all depends on what you want. If you want the HP regen, go for the regen bracelet. If you want the attack bonus, go for the vambraces =P Being immature is a part of being mature.

If you want the attack bonus, go for the vambraces =P So which is better? The attack of vambraces, or the HP regen of the bracelet? I'm talking about a fact/efficiency basis, not a preferential one. This has a lot more discussion value than the old scimmy vs longsword debate, until somebody proves one superior to the other. [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]

Don't remind me. =P Unfortunately, I really haven't been around RS enough at all to answer this one, so I'll leave it for now, being proven wrong. I never even heard of a regen bracelet before this topic o_0 Being immature is a part of being mature.
June 20, 200917 yr I would go with Vambs It allows you to kill the Avansies much faster. +10 range is quite alot for armour. The little defence and health regain are not useful if you take even a second more to kill the Avansies. Dungeoneering isn't a skill. I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden. PM me if you want to chat. My PM is always off. My keyboard is on fire. Want some?
