randomkid81 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 1. Whats better for long term slaying: Torags or Bandos? 2. If I were to get Bandos, should I sell my dfs and buy or wait for Bandos to drop (I have around 30m in cash) 3. Which is better: rfd dragon gloves or bracelet of regeneration?

Bandos/dfs are crashing hard atm, because it's the end of summer. Sell the dfs, wait out the bandos crash, and buy bandos. Try to get barrows gloves, dragon > regen though.

testingsomestuff123 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Torag's might save food because you get hit less. But the reparing of Torag's will cost a bit. Bandos is just all around more expensive. So.. Torag>Bandos To above post. Bandos and DFS uncrashed. Don't look at GE graph. Those lie. < I think this is just temporary.

Bandos is better for slayer. They haven't "uncrashed," they will level out/rise for a few days and then crash harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because your loosing a massive accuracy bonus from a rune defender, which is honestly the only thing you should use in the defense spot during slayer. NEVER use a DFS for melee against anything other than a dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use items such as a cannon you would not need that higher accuracy, such as dagganoths or kalphite(which poison tears you apart Grr >.>). If you do tasks such as skeletal wyverns then you will need that high defense until they are unagressive and you can range them over the entrance.

Personally I just use a fighter torso with dharok legs and a rune defender because I only have 24m total atm. If you can afford bandos then sell the dfs and get a rune defender with bandos. About the gloves, dragon gloves are better then a regen bracelet. Compare item: regen bracelet/dragon gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does, the amount of time you would be attacking would be reduced due to you spending more time on reloading the cannon therefore your need for attack bonus would be reduced and your need for defensive bonus would raise due to many monsters attacking you.

zotto Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The DFS has its uses for slayer. I use it for tanking iron dragons for instance. And currently I am using it for a nech task because nechs hit quite hard. Andyway if we are going to be that realistic, for most tasks you don't need torags either. D'skirt and rune platebody would be quite enough in combination with rune defender, d'boots, RFD gloves, fury, and slayer helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do tasks such as skeletal wyverns then you will need that high defense until they are unagressive and you can range them over the entrance. No trust me a cannon doesn't decide whether or not you should ditch the rune defender. If a lot of monsters are attacking you it's still more beneficial to be able to kill them faster anyways. You use a mind shield for Wyverns I thought... actually I am 99% sure you do. Not a DFS.. --------------------- Anyways, as said before DFS' are for dragon slaying, boss hunting (situational TBH) and looking pretty.. other than that they are outdone by a rune defender in every way. I say keep the DFS but use a rune defender. As far as bandos is concerned consider this... [hide=Read here...]Dharok's Chestplate (312,000 gp) vs. Bandos Chestplate (16,300,000 gp) Dharok's Platelegs (583,600 gp) vs. Bandos Tassets (15,000,000 gp) To be honest all your paying for is a grand total of +2 range defence, +6 str bonus and +2 Prayer bonus... to be completely honest with you.. you are paying what 31.3m for that bit of bonus instead of 900k? Yes yes blah blah Barrows degrades... but I honestly don't think some people can wrap their small brains around the fact that 15 hours IN COMBAT is an excruciatingly long time.. If you ask me, which you did by coming here.. GET DHAROKS[/hide] In your case it would be Torags, but you get my point. Apparently, my signature was to big.

No offense but you said Bandos is better than Barrows for slayer. :| Dont get full barrows just body and legs - probably Dh like Ulti said. I dont need a siggy no moar.

randomkid81 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Ok thanks for all the responses guys. I'm going to wait a few days for prices to stabilise and get bandos. Til then I will stick to my current torags, slayer helm, whip and defender setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptbaker08 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Ok thanks for all the responses guys. I'm going to wait a few days for prices to stabilise and get bandos. Til then I will stick to my current torags, slayer helm, whip and defender setup. Good choice. I'm using the exact same setup because I'm to poor for bandos ATM. Off Topic: As for the cannon thing, most tasks that you cannon on you either don't need the extra defense from the DFS as you are either praying, or damage isn't that much of a problem. There is only one task i know of that goes for the later, and that are dag tasks. They aren't that strong, and in just Torags and a Rune Def I can keep at 80+ hp the entire task. As for the others, you usually pray on them and the DFS just makes it seem clunky. The Def helps the task speed along as sometimes the C-balls can't/won't hit a monster so you just have to melee it. Also a God Book/Fally Shield 3 might be helpful as they improve prayer some, but the accuracy and str of the Def helps out more imho, and many others i slay with.

ilovecardj Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Use neither. DFS is bad for slayer, and bandos isnt very good compared to using a verac skirt with prossy top and using 10% str pray. Money would probly be best spent on summon and prayer levels, as well as cannonballs, pots etc Dragon Drops: 80+ boots, 7 med, 3 skirt, 2 left half, 2 Spear, 2 2hSlayer: 30+ whips, 4 Bows, 1 Mask, 3 Granite Legs, 1 Visage (Wyverns)Notable GWD Splits: Bandos Tassets: 12, Bandos Chest: 11, Bandos Hilt: 2Proud Slayer of 99 Att/Str/Def/HP/Range/Summoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zotto Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 you can use 10% prayer with bandos as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
