rocko510 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Ok, so I just got the Balmung today and I have two questions. 1. For strength training while doing slayer sould I use the Balmung or D scimy, I'm not buying a sara sword? 2. Would the Balmung be a better choice than the whip for barrows? 99 Cooking Since 10/19/10|99 Magic Since 2/13/11|Quest Cape Since April 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Balmung at barrows? Just how many dagganoths does Guthan summon? Joking aside, never use Balmung on anything besides dagganoth, and even on those it's questionable.

Quyneax Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Balmung is a Fremminik war axe you get during the Blood Runs Deep quest. It has considerable offence bonusus versus dagganoth and is used to defeat the Dagganoth mother.

rocko510 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Balmung at barrows? Just how many dagganoths does Guthan summon? Joking aside, never use Balmung on anything besides dagganoth, and even on those it's questionable. Ya, I know it is best at dagganoths but it still has nice bonuses and can hit high while fighting other things. 99 Cooking Since 10/19/10|99 Magic Since 2/13/11|Quest Cape Since April 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiel Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Ok, so I just got the Balmung today and I have two questions. 1. For strength training while doing slayer sould I use the Balmung or D scimy, I'm not buying a sara sword? 2. Would the Balmung be a better choice than the whip for barrows? Sorry for ignorance But what is a balmung?its an axe gained at the end of blood runs deep, it deals extra damage to dagnoths. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).
