Hmm the trouble is that all the weapons typically suck except in very specific situations, and even then only Verac's and Dharok's are worthwhile. You are almost universally better off with a mix-and-match of Barrows armour (Torag/Dharok plate, Verac legs, Verac/Guthan/Torag helm) plus a whip.

Only pieces i find useful from barrows are the Chest and Leg pieces. The helm is covered by the Neitz and the Whip+Rune Defender beats all other weapons. For now I'm slaying in Torags Top and Veracs skirt.

I strongly suggest you either get TORAGS BODY + LEGS if you are poor

 

If not, GUTHANS FULL SET gives an amazingly useful effect which you can use to train melee afk in several places (Bandits, Kalphites etc...)

 

If you DO get TORAGS BODY + LEGS then definitely use it with a NEITZ HELM and a WHIP + rune DEFENDER !!!

you might as wel buy dharok legs+plate, it's cheaper than torag's, has the same stats and i think it looks better

Do this. Or, if you can get it, Verac's Skirt and Dharok's body.

^^ What they all said.

 

But if you can afford it - full Guthans is incredibly useful for things like slayer, not worrying about food and being able to stay indefinitely is really useful. If you combine it with a whip and only use the spear when you need healing, you can make it last a bit longer too.

That's how I do it... I'm slaying to L85 atm and I just take whip, r defender & slayer mask with me...

Makes me do most assignments without banking...

2017 goals: get at least 3 more master capes (start xp: invention done@21st Jan, mining done@2nd April & ranged 76/104mil done@June 20th) & all skills +40mil xp (done 24th August)

Or you can be smarter and get Guthan's Platebody.

 

Cheaper than the others, and same defence. Though the Chainskirt has worse defence.

 

I'd say Guthan's Platebody and Verac's Skirt.

Really? I thought that the Torag's has a better defence bonus than Dharoks.

That's a common misconception. The full Torag's set has the highest defense of the melee sets, but not because the defense bonuses are higher than the other sets--it's because it combines the exact same defense bonuses as the best pieces from the other sets. Torag's helm has the exact same stats as Guthan's helm; Torag's platelegs have the exact same stats as Dharok's; and all three of their platebodies are identical. In addition, Verac's helm and skirt have the same melee defense as Torag's, sacrificing some ranged defense for prayer bonus.

Hm, I was not aware of this. Thank you

Get veracs skirt for sure. Costs like 1.1m so thats 1.9m left over. I'd say get maybe a dharok plate with that, its like 600-900k, cant remember, that still eave you with 1m to play with.
