May 12, 201016 yr Bandos is for when you want strength which is a huuuuuuuuuge focus in this game....that's why godswords are so leet :rolleyes: Dragon armor is nothing more than novelty wares this day and age. It's cheap and is great if you have higher defense and don't want to waste time using barrows armor that degrades and proves no further use. If I want a top for strength, I wear my fighter's torso. If I want defense, I'll use barrows. Both are cheaper than either of your choices. tl;dr Niether
May 12, 201016 yr I'll always wear my D Plate. Sorry. I've just wanted that ever since Classic, and now that I have one, I'll be damned if I ever let it go. :) About the stats thing - it's really just personal preference. If you really like the way something looks, then you'll choose to use that. TBH, I'd wear Armadyl for ranging tasks if I could afford it... (looks play a huge part there).

May 12, 201016 yr Well, I have full dragon, which is in my opinion, the best looking armor in the game. Also, I don't really care about a +4 strength bonus.
May 12, 201016 yr A dragon plate stat-wise is inferior to barrows/bandos. It's a cosmetic item, although I think bandos looks much better :3 Interactive dungeoneering floor mapper

Spinning Dragon Plates anyone? PM me in game anytime It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet. That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying.

And with the constitution update allowing us to hit fractional damage, marginal strength boosts are significantly more relevant than they used to be. Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP

HOURS!

May 15, 201016 yr Dragon plate looks the best by far and is a reasonable price. And to even bring fighter torso into the picture just makes me laugh. It's a free plate you get from a minigame that looks garbage It looks good with.... erm.... NOTHING ! lol. To say Dragon plate never had it's 'brief period of glory' is ridiculous. There's many people out there who wear this plate. To don a Dragon plate with a trimmed att cape looks unbelieveable ! All of what you said is superficial. You're not looking at the stats, you're looking at the looks. By 'brief period of glory' he meant everyone uses it, like the whip has been for the past 3 years*. *Date?
