February 2, 201016 yr OK well im almost 99 def and i can tell i wont be using barrows near as much as i currently am. However, i do plan on changing my setup and i was wondering which of the following would be the best setup in the long run? Setup 1:Helm of Neitiznot / Slayer HelmAmulet of Glory / Amulet of FuryDragon PlatebodyDragon PlatelegsDragon BootsBarrows GlovesDefence Cape(t)Warrior Ring / Berserker Ring Setup 2:Helm of Neitiznot / Slayer HelmAmulet of Glory / Amulet of FuryFighter TorsoBandos TassetsDragon BootsBarrows GlovesDefence Cape(t)Warrior ring / Berserker Ring Setup 3:Helm of Neitiznot / Slayer HelmAmulet of Glory / Amulet of FuryFighter TorsoTorag / Dharoks PlatelegsDragon BootsBarrows GlovesDefence Cape(t)Warrior Ring / Berserker Ring Setup 4:Helm of Neitiznot / Slayer HelmAmulet of Glory / Amulet of FuryFighter TorsoDragon PlatelegsDragon BootsBarrows GlovesDefence Cape(t)Warrior Ring / Berserker Ring
February 2, 201016 yr What's your budget, or how much would you prefer to spend? What is this setup for? Slayer, armored zombies, bandits, green dragons, ect? All around I like setup one and two; Dragon is a well enough defense and torso/tassets offers you strength. Suggest a poll for Tip.it - Here!
February 2, 201016 yr Author This will be a slayer setup. At the moment i have 16m and im hopeing at 99 def ill be somewhere between 20-25m if not more to get a fairly good setup.
February 2, 201016 yr I would say, if you could afford it, bandos is the best all around slayer gear; and I say Dragon is second. With 99 defense, all of your slayer assignments (aside from ones that require protect melee) will be easy enough to finish with dragon/torso/bandos/barrows and a familiar. So, my answer is, choose from a category; looks=Dragon Strength=Bandos/Torso. My personal preference is, I like Dragon, go with that :thumbsup: Suggest a poll for Tip.it - Here!
February 2, 201016 yr Author I like the Bandos/torso setup myself (dont really plan on getting the bcp instead just getting the tassets). So what im thinking so far is either Torso/Dragon legs or Torso/Tassets. Just gonna kinda wait until i see what some other responces give me.
February 2, 201016 yr Torso is a piece of crap unless you like playing BA. Use full bandos, whip, rune def, b gloves, d boots, firecape, fury, zerker/ferocious for MAXIMUM RESULTS. I piety the fool.
February 2, 201016 yr I personally go full Bandos when melee slaying, and of your choices, 2 is the closest to that, so I say go with 2. Fisher/Woodcut------Me-----Miner/crafter----Stabber----Leecher ^Golvellius must be so proud^
February 2, 201016 yr Author Like i said before...im NOT buying the bcp and i dont like the fight caves so firecape is also out.
February 2, 201016 yr I hope you're talking to the person above me, because I didn't tell you to buy bandos. Fisher/Woodcut------Me-----Miner/crafter----Stabber----Leecher ^Golvellius must be so proud^
February 2, 201016 yr Option 2 when you can afford the Tassets. Option 3 until then. A fury will be better off to use. Don't use dragon, unless its the boots.

February 3, 201016 yr Author K good to know thank you Cptbaker, Option 3 is my current setup actually(glory over fury while im saving for tassies).
February 3, 201016 yr Well, my opinion is somewhat different from what you've heard; so it might give you something different to consider. I am lvl 99 slayer and all through the leveling I focused on what gear to wear that would permit me to stay the longest, cost me less and complete the task with the most experience gained. Any time I could use a cannon, I did so & I made my own cannon balls. Any time I could use Guthan I did so because it saved me much more on food than I needed to repair it. (I have the POH workshop you can use anytime if you don't have one.) Guthan also permits me to stay with waterfiends quite a bit longer than most other players stay. (Just switch off and on with saradomin godsword, using a bunnyip and the task costs very little to do with great monetary/skilling rewards.) Instead of "dragon boots", I would suggest "infinity boots" for the mage boost, especially if fighting an npc that hits you with magics. The armour I most use if I range an npc is Armadyl with either bandos boots or infinity boots, depending on what def bonus I need. I am what I am! Acknowledging this is the beginning and my growth is yet to end!!

I find I can do all my tasks with just bunyips, or a unicorn if i need to use it. But i know of at 2 top ranked slayers that still use guthans, Mrs jjb cyn and Mythiquedame. On NPCs that use magic, it still is better to just use the dragon boots as the miniscule amount of mage def you get isn't as great as the str you get from the boots. If you don't have the money to afford Armadyl, Void Range works fine.
