Redaing through the tormented wraith guide i noticed on the melee section the best option was plain black platebody,platelegs etc etc surely they should be the best on them but is it really worth the cost,weight and time as you will be praying anyway should i bother investing in some elite black or keep with my normal black?

Wait, so are you asking whether you CAN use elite black or whether elite black is WORTH using?

whether it is worth using

You will be protecting melee, and you are suggesting spending a couple of 100k on armour to protect you from melee?

I'm just wondering if maybe i ran out of pray pots then i would have some decent protection is it worth it or not?

Seeing as you pray anyway, no.

As a Def orientated player, I used normal black armor and it protected me but not enough to stand on my own for several rounds of fighting. Just pray or safespot, whatever your fancy is.

I tried tanking them even with unicorn and 93 defence I still got hit a bit too hard so you'll definitely need to use prayer. By the way I haven't been there since but I went there maybe a day or two after the RT5 update and all of the safe spots were removed. Some things were changed or "fixed" a bit after the update but I'm not sure if these were affected.

Well I guess safe spots have been taken out, at least the guide says so now. So don't listen to me. :P I miss that safe spot now.
