For armadyl, DFS is definatly the better choice. About the prices I really do not think the prices will drop unless JaGex updates PVP again, nerfing 76k'ing.

What would be cool is if Drakan and his minions kill all the sig heroes in the quest except Raptor who is wrecking. You and him team up and cave in some vampyre heads. He becomes a total bro in future quests and in a GM quest he receives a fatal injury and his last dying words to you are "Brofist, mang"

The DFS has a relitively good use, and is necessary in some places, whereas the BGS is useless and only useful in GWD.

 

 

 

So if you go to GWD often (Bandos) you should get a BGS over a DFS.

 

DFS over BGS if you dont GWD very much though. But neither are even that great.

 

 

 

Personally I would BGS if I went to GWD since the money could be made back relitively quicker than killing things with a DFS.

I dont need a siggy no moar.

I think DFS is one of the items that are almost always protected.

They both suck.

 

Get a Blessed spirit shield instead of dfs, and bgs just plain out sucks.

 

I would recommend spending the remainder on ranged, prayer or magic.

[hide=Drops]Notable drops-

Dragon- 10 Platelegs / 3 Med Helms / 10 Plateskirts / 1 Spear / 3 Left Halves / 4 Claws / 3 Ruined Armour Lumps / 200+ Boots / 3 Pickaxes

Godwars- 1 Bandos Chestplate / Shard 1 / Shard 2 / 4 Sets of ancient robes

Barrows- 250M+ LOOT Including 10 Spears (back in the day) / Guthans spear and Dharoks helm in 1 chest (at the time it was worth 8M, a big deal to many people then lol) / 8 Guthans helms / 3 Dharoks helms / 4 Veracs Helms / etc.

Other Slayer stuff- Whips 20 / Dark Bows 3 / Granite Mauls 20 / Ranging Ammys 6 / 1 Visage (steel dragons) / 40+ effigies

 

I play on and off. I'll play the game solidly for a month then quit for the next 3, lol.[/hide][/size]

Why blessed over dfs might i ask?

 

Difference in defense is minimal, +3 prayer is nice, but the main thing is the lack of a negative range bonus.

 

Its also 15m cheaper.

 

Jesus christ I have gone through this with so many different people :shock:

Hmm, good point. I may consider buying one soon then lol.

 

Thanks.

I wouldn't listen to ross quite yet, the defense difference isn't minimal, its actually around 20 less than dragonfire in ever category.For armadyl, you miss out on +8 magic defense, but you don't have a negative range bonus. If you're strapped for cash go with the blessed spirit shield. The dragonfire is far better,however.

Actually, the crush bonus is the same (A tiny bit better), and most monsters use crush.

 

As for the magic defense, I think the extra 5 range bonus makes up for the lack of 8 mage defense, if you use the maxed setup, since magic defense shouldn't be an issue at all anyway.

 

Besides, if you are going to get hammered at +200 defenses, the extra 20 isn't going to help all that much.

Is there a source for this?

Try basic logic.

 

Unless a monster is using a sword or some other bladed weapon, it is basically punching you.

 

And most monsters don't have weapons.

BSS is just about the same as a D [], but has no negative attack bonuses, and +3 prayer. However, a DFS is far superior for Armadyl, DKS, and dragons. Since you don't have much cash though, a Blessed Spirit Shield would be a good choice for you. I would get a BSS and maybe save the rest. Another reason for the DFS is it has +7 strength. Although normally a rune defender is greater for camping or slayer, a DFS and its str bonus does have its uses.

Based on the type of activities you just listed, DFS and Spirit shield is the best for you. If all you do is Range, Spirit shield. Otherwise, DFS has a more broad spectrum of uses.

 

 

 

 

 

BGS is mainly for melee boss hunters. Anything with a high defense level gets nuked with a BGS.

The DFS is basically redundant for melee combat. period. (Dragons are the one exception for this)

 

My main point is the +3 prayer and no negative range. I believe that those 2 factors outweigh the DFS's minimal boost in defense over the BSS.

Can't forget DFS costs around 15m more.

Wow, if he has enough cash or can make a bit more, he could probably buy a BGS and a blessed spirit shield :shock: personally, from what I'm hearing, I'd go the BSS over DFS. 15M extra for (apparently) minimal bonuses over a BSS just doesn't seem worth it. And BGS is only good for GWD, even though Bandos is my favourite god :thumbsup:

I believe the DFS would be a better choice, you can use it at AGWD, SGWD, BGWD, ZGWD, pretty much all GWD rooms, use it for DKs...The BGS wouldn't be as useful
