Guthan's set?

[Cheefoo]

I used to own full Guthan's set of armor, and I liked it. I bought it for about 4.5m, sold for 5.5m or something like that. I was thinking of buying it again, recently. I have about 20m cash currently, the most I ever had. Why? Because I got lucky at Barrows, let's put it at that.

 

So I was thinking, is Guthan's set worth buying back? What are its uses?

 

Also, it Guthan's any good for Barrows? I've been noticing the biggest thing holding me back at Barrows is the food. I pray on Dharok, Karil, and sometimes Ahrim if I have the prayer left over. I usually get 3 or so chest lootings before I have to go back to a bank. Should I use Guthan's set to heal in the tunnels? I usually find myself taking minimal damage when fighting any brother without prayer, but it usually adds up. I was thinking, I search for the tunnel, and when I get low on health, I go in there, and heal on the monsters.

 

So those are the questions:

 

-Is Guthan's worth buying?

-What are the uses?

-Is my strategy to use it at Barrows viable?

 

Thanks for your help.

The use of Guthans has been largely replaced by Enchanted Exalibur(and pony sometimes) especially for high levels. Uses for Guthans are combat situations where you take a medium amount of damage, and if guthans can heal you fast enough. I'd say that no, It's not worth buying.

Guthan's most essential effect is the healing bonus: so unless you have other good healing bonusses (bunyip, pony, sgs) it's a piece of armour you can't miss.

 

I've used it very, very much for slayer tasks (beats having to go to the bank).

 

But even if you don't need the healing, guthan's body provides amazing defense, and I still use the body/legs as my standard-pvm outfit: so it's definatily worth the money...

 

 

I've got too little experience with barrowing to really comment on guthan's usefullness there....

I bought it to try it out at Barrows, and it's pretty awesome. It eliminates most need for food, I just need to find the tunnel and stab some monsters. Healing doesn't take long, I'm sure it's faster than banking to get more food.

 

I had a hard time even buying at max, so it might be rising. If I don't like it, I can just sell it back, hopefully with a minor profit.

 

I'm probably going to use it for Fight Caves, because, even at level 120, I still haven't done it. Last time I had it, I tested it in fight caves, and did awesome with it.

 

Thanks for the input, any more would also be appreciated.

DKs and tanking bandos are pretty much the only places I use mine.

Everything else sgs [or EE if you have the stats] (I'm getting to the stage where guthans is surpassed by veracs at dks, with sgs and titan of course) or bunyip/titan is more then enough.

 

Its nice for barrows as you simply heal in the crypt, only barrows is a bit boring compared to the other options I have available (soon to be TD's).
