Waterfiends and Defense

[3PointMan]

is there any way to get charms at waterfiends while training DEFENSE? Is there any good weapon there that only trains strength? I don't really want to do controlled, but if there is no other option I guess I could..

[Bladewing]

Could do aggressive with saradomin sword. You can get defence later with an abyssal whip.

[L0rdAki]

Agreed with blade, but if you're allergic to str exp at fiends you could range them or use v flail/t hammers. Not much variation for defensive crushing.

[3PointMan]

Well, I'm 99 strength and I don't want extra str experience when I need defense experience. If I'll be killing 10k waterfiends, thats like 96 defense, and I don't want to waste that experience/

[Bladewing]

Oh I assumed by your signature that you weren't 99 strength since it's not listed XD

[Assume Nothing]

There is no efficient way to kill waterfiends using Defensive mode. Your best bet is to either; Use Zspear and just put up with slow defence xp. And powertrain at armoured zombies after. EDIT - You can Defensive barrage at Rock Lobsters. That would give you some fast xp in summoning, defense, mage and hps.

your fault for getting 99 strength before 99 atk + def :)

I know plenty of players that plan ahead, you should have.

other than training with a z-spear on controlled, you don't exactly have many options.

 

now it's time to suffer the consequences.

[L0rdAki]

Full verac's with turmoil and overloads is semi-efficiant for pure defence exp at waterfiends...otherwise, no, you'll need to train str or Mage.

[Bladewing]

Full veracs is not at all efficient. A v flail with karils would be better.

[L0rdAki]

So even with the big defence buffs of melée armor and the set effect, praying mage, wfs hit you heaps? 0-o that's new to me.

 

Anyway, if that's the case, full karils is more efficiant.

[Bladewing]

You want magic defence at waterfiends, not melee defence.

......

 

Waterfiends hit you with mage based ranged. Karils > Bandos.

[L0rdAki]

Oh, it's maged based range?

 

I feel like an idiot now. Carry on.

[SirIzenhime]

yep, they have a pure mage attack, and mage based range attack.

 

as for the question at hand, your only options for a defensive crush weapon is a verac flail or maybe torag hammers.

If you have 99 attack and 99 strength you can whip them with constant piety (NOT turmoil, piety is better than turmoil at waterfiends). I posted this on a previous waterfiend task topic and got heavily doubted.. I will make a video when I get back members but at maxed melee (no extremes) and piety I got ~75 crimsons per Unicorn roughly which equates to 100 kills an hour. Lucipher6 is also known to whip waterfiends. Comparing this to Z spear and Saradomin Sword, you only get about 10-30 kills less an hour, so I'd say it's pretty decent. Oh, forgot to mention this is obviously on a slayer task, it'd be much less off task.

Ok, I'll just get controlled with z spear =D
