November 19, 201015 yr Hey, So back before chaotic weapons, I've always found SS on crush attack mode to be more effective in killing gargoyles than whip + rune defender. I never actually did any rigorous testing though. So what I am wondering is whether that^ was correct? If it was, is C rapier + rune defender on stab better than using SS now? Thanks.
November 19, 201015 yr Rapier + rune defender is better, yes. Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)Dagannoth kings drops: 73Barrows item count: 51GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)Whips: 4Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)
November 19, 201015 yr Rapier by a lot. Gargoyles have low enough defense that the huge extra strength bonus means way more than using crush vs. stab. Join "DG Sweepers" Clan Chat for Dungeoneering Floors | Accepting all tipiters who are Willing to Learn |
November 19, 201015 yr It used to be fairly even between ZS and whip+def, but now crapier+def is faaaar superior. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots
November 19, 201015 yr Author Sweet thanks everyone. So other than water fiends there isn't really any other task which is a whole lot weaker to crush then? Out of curiousity any one know if there are any tasks from Kuradal that are specifically weak to slash as opposed to stab? I.e weak enough to justify using the slash mode on rapier rather than the stab mode? I know that in Dungeoneering the weakness to different styles are way more emphasised but never really noticed it too much outside daemonheim.

For crush, Skeletal Wyverns, but tanking them without a DFS/ele shield isn't really reccomended. For slash, nothing to justify slashing with a rapier, but Dark Beasts are weaker to slash then they are stab, but not by much, so stabing is still better Fisher/Woodcut------Me-----Miner/crafter----Stabber----Leecher ^Golvellius must be so proud^

Besides that, I'm having trouble thinking of a task that even has noticeable defense when I'm using a rapier and turmoil. I'm only coming up with mithril/black dragons, which of course are weak to stab. Join "DG Sweepers" Clan Chat for Dungeoneering Floors | Accepting all tipiters who are Willing to Learn |
