Synthox Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Should I use a c bow or throwing knives? I'm leaning towards c bow for the extra power but the throwing knives have the speed factor. Any ideas? Also, don't try to tell me that ranging the sea troll queen is a bad idea, because it's the only thing i can do effectively.

Quyneax Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 On high defense opponents, the knives won't hit often at all. Diamond bolts are the way to go, or rubies for the added damage.

Bad911 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I would go for poisoned knives over the c-bow. Your not going to hit very high, so I would definitely choose that. Quantity > Quality. As for the above opinions, I agree with them, I wouldn't take their suggestions lightly. If ranging is the only thing you can do, then by all means try.

It's just that i said not to say that ranging is a bad idea, and you went ahead and did it anyway.

Mythrandir Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I wouldn't even worry about poisoning her. From what I've read, if you range her from afar she'll just keep draining your prayer and cast very accurate mage spells. I would stand within melee distance and let her melee you. You'll be wearing full d'hides so hopefully you should be able to withstand the mage attacks while praying protect from melee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilformen Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 i did swan song with around 75 range/1 def and it wasnt a big deal. the magic attacks barely even hit w/o praying. just wear hides and use good bolts. 32,606th to 99 magic || 15,388th to 99 dungeoneering || 12,647th to 99 farming14,792nd to 99 range || 24,954th to 99 herblore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
