BGS vs. Whip + DFS

[Sportz]

Which is better for me to buy once I get the cash? Either would be fine for me, but I'd like reasons as to which I should buy, not just a 'bgs owns all' or something like that.

[tortilliachp]

it really depends on use. for boss monsters, a godsword is usually quite effective.

for slayer and the like, a whip and rune defender provides the fastest killing, substituted with a dfs when you really need defense bonus.

a rapier (dungeoneering) is even more effective than a whip, so at the end of the day, it's up to you what type of weapon you want depending on what activities you like :)

Whip + Defender is better

[Sportz]

I'll probably be doing slayer or training at SW, most likely I'll mix some depending on what I fee like doing. And reason I want either one of those is mostly for looks, not how effective it is... I can always sell back later if I need cash.

The general consensus is that the DFS is only useful at dragon tasks when you lack super antifires and a few niche cases where you need lots of defence like range tanking.

[bedman]

If you just get them for looks and not effectiveness, get whatever you think that looks the best.

I prefer the DFS + Whip for purely aesthetic purposes, but this really isn't the kind of question others can answer for you. And if you want to actually DO something with these things then a DFS would be more useful for slayer (though not as good as a rune def) and training, and a gs would be better for boss hunting.

Both suck, use a whip and a defender or a saradomin sword. Rapier if you've got one.

If you want them for looks, why make a thread about it? It's your opinion that matters most.

 

If you want them for effectiveness, it depends entirely on what you do.

Whip + Rune Defender for Slayer. DFS for SW if not high defense or BGS if you like high hits.

 

Tbh though, neither is worth it and its best to spend the money on prayer/herblore for help while slaying or while in SW.

Guys, he doesn't care about effectiveness. So basically, he's just asking which of those 2 gives him the most "e-respect". Well, none tbh.

[Bladewing]

I have much more e-respect for someone using whip and defender than for someone using whip and DFS.

 

Now I am stuck in an ethical quandary because I thought I didn't give e-respect. Maybe whip + DFS earns negative e-respect from me.

[SirIzenhime]

a High prayer, summoning and herblore are what gives e-respect, while also being 100% worth getting
