February 2, 201016 yr I've noticed a lot of high lvl players with 99 defence choose the Toktz-Ket-Xil(obsidian shield) over the dragon sq shield. Is this purely because the toktz-ket-xil is cheaper or am i missed some hidden factor between the two?

February 2, 201016 yr The Toktz-ket-xil has a +5 strength bonus vs. the Dragon Sq.'s 0 strength bonus. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~
February 2, 201016 yr Also, the obsidian shield has a far superior range defense. That is quite handy at places like DKS, etc. [hide=Drops]Araxxor Eye x1 Leg pieces x2GWD: 5000 Addy bar Steam B Staff x3 Z Spear x6 Sara.

February 2, 201016 yr D sq has better melee def Tz has better Range def, comes with a str bonus, and is A LOT cheaper. Fisher/Woodcut------Me-----Miner/crafter----Stabber----Leecher ^Golvellius must be so proud^
February 2, 201016 yr It really isn't a lot cheaper. Obsidian shield is ~130k and D Sq is ~300k. But for melee defense, D sq has better alternatives when defense is what matters.

February 3, 201016 yr It really isn't a lot cheaper. Obsidian shield is ~130k and D Sq is ~300k. But for melee defense, D sq has better alternatives when defense is what matters. Which makes it odd why people pick the obby shield over the rune defender when offensive bonuses are needed. Finding a middle ground is usually a not worthwhile practice. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug

There are *Lots* of stupid people in the world, and many of them play RS. That is the same thing with DFS. The +2 strength is USELESS compared to the +20 slash of a defender.

February 3, 201016 yr the DFS vs Defender depends on what you're fighting I think, there are some monsters where you really need that extra def, but for just simple basic training, defender is almost always better.
