July 7, 200916 yr Hi I am becoming a member soon and I am debating wether to get either Fighter Torso and Dragon Plateskirt or Statius Platebody and Statius platelegs. I think I am just going to get Statius Platebody and Dragon Plateskirt. But I am not sure. So can I get your advice? Oh and if it's corrupted how do I fix it? And how does it get corrupted? Sorry for so many questions just very curious.
July 7, 200916 yr Don't get statius, it degrades in an hour. I would recommend barrows until you can afford bandos.
July 7, 200916 yr Author Don't get statius, it degrades in an hour. I would recommend barrows until you can afford bandos. Well i guess now I know what I am aiming for. So I am just going to get Fighter Torso and Dragon PlateSkirt. Then go for dharoks Platebody and then Bandos? What platelegs to get? I know im a try to get bandos tessel but inbetween Dragon Plateskirt and tessel
July 7, 200916 yr Don't get statius, after an hour of use it will completely decay and disappear and you will never see that money again.

July 7, 200916 yr Unless you either like playing BA or you have a torso, i wouldn't suggest getting it. If you can, just wear either Torags platebody and legs or Dharoks. If you have the money bandos is nice to have, but not really needed.

July 7, 200916 yr Don't get a Torso. Anyway, I'd reccomend Torag's Platebody and Platelegs. Failing that, the basic Rune Platebodt and Platelegs. Aim to get a Helm of Neitiznot and a Rune Defender along with Dragon Boots. As for a cape, well, Legends is pretty good, however, Obsidian beats it slightly in stats (like +2), so Legends cape is the one I prefer for looks, but requires Legend's Quest done. Of course, ignore that if you can obtain a Skillcape. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198
July 7, 200916 yr Guthan's/Dharok's/Torag's platebody with Verac's plateskirt works well, it has the best melee defence and a nice +5 prayer. quit
July 7, 200916 yr yes its true the torso's deffence fails but it has +4 str which helps alot in max damage just dont got as much deffence as bandos so in my opinion torso is good to have just you have to go through the boring mini game plus if you lose it, you can cry or say bad words to your computer..... maybe 99 defence reached 7/7/09 99 strength reached 12/28/08 barrow drop since 7/7/09 ahrims top(1), guthan spear(1), dharok legs(1), verac helm(1)
July 7, 200916 yr dont go for any barrows waste of money and not to mention you have to repair it...just stick with fighters torso and dragon plateskirt and when you have the money go for bandos
July 7, 200916 yr Don't worry too much about strength bonuses. These don't mean all that much, and generally the defense bonuses mean more. What you get, then, really depends on how much you want to spend. The PK armors are too expensive, since they degrade to nothing in an hour. Torag is a decent investment, as you will likely save more in the damage you avoid than you will spend fixing the top and legs. If you would rather have something that does not degrade, at all, dragon is the next step down. Bandos has a strength bonus, sure, and a better crush defense, but you will find slash and stab defense more useful, and the strength bonus really doesn't matter as much as the extra defenses in most cases. If you are aiming even lower, rune plates still have quite solid defenses. As for legs below Torag, the d skirt works well, but, again, you will likely find yourself saving more in food by using Torag than you spend on fixing it up. Also get some prosalyte (forgive my uber bad spelling) by doing the Temple Knight series. The prayer bonus is used for many beasts. It's defenses aren't great, but who wants to take hits, even with the best defenses, from some of the stronger creatures? It would not be your normal armor, but its worth mentioning as armor to aim for!
July 7, 200916 yr dont go for any barrows waste of money and not to mention you have to repair it...just stick with fighters torso and dragon plateskirt and when you have the money go for bandos Repairing costs next to nothing, and the defensive bonuses are some of the best for such a low price. You would rather cut your defense by using something weaker than a rune platebody for 1 more max damage? Unless you train a lot, you wouldn't have to repair often, and you should make back much more than you should need to spend on repairing easily. I think it was something like 10k/hour in repairs for barrows body and leg armour. I don't see at all how it is a waste of money, considering their massive defensive bonuses, and nearly non-existant repair costs.
July 7, 200916 yr DO NOT GET A TORSO. Use barrows. Fighter torso sucks, to be frank. yes its true the torso's deffence fails but it has +4 str which helps alot in max damage just dont got as much deffence as bandos so in my opinion torso is good to have just you have to go through the boring mini game plus if you lose it, you can cry or say bad words to your computer..... maybe This is the common mentiality. In reality, you will have to train for upwards of 1000 Hours to make getting the torso worth it. The torso is ONLY worth it if you love Barbarian assualt and want all the rewards for the sake of completion.

Only good for Berserker pures :D Oh, and, tbh the torso sucks and PENANCE GLOVES rape :P Err, I wouldnt recommend the Veracs plateskirt until you're into your higher levels like 80+ all melee and have a decent slayer level since you wont need the prayer boost really... I dont need a siggy no moar.
July 7, 200916 yr Personally I would say torags top and veracs skirt. Its a prayer bonus which is ideal when your coming to the end of a slayer task and you want to speed it up (5% prayers will last a while even with low prayer bonus). The repair costs are nothing to worry about especially if you have an armour stand in your house.

July 7, 200916 yr not like in runescape you need alot of defence unless you are hunting boss monsters or pvp other than that most monsters is easy with just fighter torso. yes torags armor is cheap and has great defence but not like you really need it.... i used fighter torso still now and acually never wear barrows. barrows is just a pain to me. i would say instead of torso and dragon skirt get torso and torag legs instead that way you can have ok defence but also +1 more damge max hit. please stop saying torso suks just coz its defence stats is just like rune plates. barrows armor is not needed unless boss hunting pretty much or doing a super hard quest overall though monsters like dragons, yaks, trolls, etc can be killed with ease just with rune armor defence. 99 defence reached 7/7/09 99 strength reached 12/28/08 barrow drop since 7/7/09 ahrims top(1), guthan spear(1), dharok legs(1), verac helm(1)

Torso is like an Addy Chainbody with a str bonus. And if you're fighting hard hitting monsters such as fire giants, gargoyles, and plenty of other monsters you get from slaying they do hit high and often and the defense of torags is greatly needed. Even in torags i was hqving a hard time staying alive on the CT fire giants.

July 7, 200916 yr but he doesnt have high slayer atm so its better for torso at begining 99 defence reached 7/7/09 99 strength reached 12/28/08 barrow drop since 7/7/09 ahrims top(1), guthan spear(1), dharok legs(1), verac helm(1)
July 7, 200916 yr please stop saying torso suks just coz its defence stats is just like rune plates. barrows armor is not needed unless boss hunting pretty much or doing a super hard quest overall though monsters like dragons, yaks, trolls, etc can be killed with ease just with rune armor defence. Torso does suck. It has been calculated by Compfreak that it is a total and utter waste of time getting it unless you plan to spend 1000+ hours training. FINAL CONCLUSION: TORSO SUCKS.
July 7, 200916 yr overall they are good the barrows and torso just depends if you want more defence or more damage. if you take less damage it would waste less money except the repairs but if you want more exp while training use torso 99 defence reached 7/7/09 99 strength reached 12/28/08 barrow drop since 7/7/09 ahrims top(1), guthan spear(1), dharok legs(1), verac helm(1)
July 7, 200916 yr you can mix and match f.torso with torags, there you will have defence and offencenot like in runescape you need alot of defence unless you are hunting boss monsters or pvp other than that most monsters is easy with just fighter torso. yes torags armor is cheap and has great defence but not like you really need it.... i used fighter torso still now and acually never wear barrows. barrows is just a pain to me. i would say instead of torso and dragon skirt get torso and torag legs instead that way you can have ok defence but also +1 more damge max hit. please stop saying torso suks just coz its defence stats is just like rune plates. barrows armor is not needed unless boss hunting pretty much or doing a super hard quest overall though monsters like dragons, yaks, trolls, etc can be killed with ease just with rune armor defence. i think that way too just to be even and not all ofensive or deffensive its alot better than torso and d skirt ill tell you that 99 defence reached 7/7/09 99 strength reached 12/28/08 barrow drop since 7/7/09 ahrims top(1), guthan spear(1), dharok legs(1), verac helm(1)
July 7, 200916 yr i wrote torso and torag legs too as an idea i guess nobody read it 99 defence reached 7/7/09 99 strength reached 12/28/08 barrow drop since 7/7/09 ahrims top(1), guthan spear(1), dharok legs(1), verac helm(1)
