Obtaurian Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Balmung sucks. Always use a whip if you don't have a rapier. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactuaar Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I would go with whip and a DFS, or a defender. I don't duo much, but I always use a whip (well rapier since I got it, but before that) for solos, and duos as well. Though it shouldn't matter, as in a duo supreme will die extremely quick. For solos though I would recommend whip and a obsidian or dragon fire shield, as the extra defense helps with tanking hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 balmung=speed+power Balmung is slow, fyi. There are very few places where a whip is not the best non-chaotic weapon, and this is not one of them. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewing Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 whip + a shield imo, you are only going to be killing supreme like 25% of the time (maybe 30% if you cannon) How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxx Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well seeing as Defense really isn't that much of an issue, i guess sticking with the book will be best? It provides a great bonus for 2 of the styles used and a meh bonus for the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewing Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 if you are at dks then defence is an issue. if you lack the money for a DFS then obsidian can substitute and is very cheap. How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxx Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 What i meant was that i don't have an issue with defense in that sense that i get hit very few times. And when i do get hit 90% of the time EEE and Uni is enough to keep me well alive. This is so during duo and solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirIzenhime Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 And granite shield is even cheaper if need be. You're mainly going for range def when there. Shield slots basically go...

stonewall337 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 You are either solo maging or doing something like running upstairs and coming down just to kill sup if you aren't getting hit much. If you are 2.5brid, you are tanking sup, and if you are maging, you don't need a whip. Balmung sucks. Whip+obby shield is decent, DFS is better, and ely/divine is best. BSS has too low range def for hybrid, but is fine for solo mage, especially if you are praying mage 100%. [hide=Drops]Araxxor Eye x1 Leg pieces x2GWD: 5000 Addy bar Steam B Staff x3 Z Spear x6 Sara.

Noxx Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 I killed all 3 :/Oh wait. well i get hit, but i just SS on Rex to make up for what i've lost. So either way i still didn't drop below a dangerous LP level. Anyway i guess i should get something a bit better just for the safety of it. Seeing as DFS is out of my range i'll stick with Obby shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'm saying it simply because DFS was out of his price range and I usually hear the BSS as the second recommendation. But I guess the Range difference doesn't outweigh the better offensive mage/range stats & prayer bonus. I'm sorry then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry then.Well, since you pray against mage and only tank a tiny bit of melee if you mess up luring, ranged defense is literally the only defense type that matters. Normally you'd be right in recommending the BSS though.
