Dungoneering question

[Adino]

I have rather high overall stats and many friends that do dungoneering, as such I am starting to get into it a little but have some questions related to my skill lvls as to what would be my best approach.

 

First question should I mage or melee? My melee stats are better but I have 99 farming and 96 crafting which let me make all the tier 10 mage stuff. With 73 mining I have a hard time getting good ore for melee armor.

 

Which stats should I raise before dungoneering? Runecrafting to 77?(I really hate rc) Almost have 90 magic so thats a no brainer but should i go higher? Am i close to a important smithing lvl?

 

 

Also should I bind tier 8 platebody or tier 10 mage body for my second bind? I have a tier 10 maul bound in first slot. Is it fine to wear mage armor while meleeing? Any penalties I should know about?

 

Despite my dungoneering lvl of 53 i have almost no exp with the skill I got 49 of the lvls off tears of guthix, so I am an ubber noob in the area, but I have read the various guides around the site.

 

 

So my big questions are

 

1. Magic or Melee

2. What should I bind that I can make and what should I bind that is ideal for my stats if i get a lucky drop.

3. What skills should I raise before doing serious dungoneering?

Melee, you dont really need armour in daemonheim

Prom 2h. Get it any way possible. Try dg smith cc for people that are able to make it.

Try raising range because some bosses are better killed with range

Actually, you should get a promethium spear p++ first. Until you have enough tokens for a good berserker class, the strength of the 2h doesn't make up for its lack of a stab.

The first tier berserker is already +11% strength and costs around 150 tokens. Also, stab is not that neccesary, really only hobgoblins are better stabbed.
