Soulthresher Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 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).

Dinstruction Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashNburn Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

HOURS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilo Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 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?
