Ewww Strength Training

Featured Replies

Well now, seeing as today I managed to take my total to 2 out of 3 melee 99's I have 1 left - Strength.

 

I was just wondering what the optimal way for me to train it would be. I am currently 66 dungeoneering about to get 67 tonight doing a large with friends and after 94/95 slayer or so I plan to non-stop solo dungeoneer with the occassional duo with Octarine and large with Hunter Ghor and Drazharr44 joining in for a rapier.

 

But until then what should I use? Sara Sword? D scim + Ddef? I have absolutely no idea really. Any tips would be welcome.

 

(Also I will probably be doing dungeoneering after 94 slay not 95 depending how much I hate SS or Dscim.)

Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.

Thanks to Wicked for the awesome siggy :D

Korasai's/Dragon scimmy and dragon defender would be my primary choice - depends where you're going to train tbh

Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!

Use korasi's, its free and has a pretty good spec and +1 more str than ss.

I'm 97 dungeoneering and I've gotten over 3m strength xp from Dungeoneering alone. If you plan on training your Dunge to a high level, I wouldn't even bother training strength in the overworld.

 

Plus, after 80 you'd pickup a Rapier. If you ever melee slay that would solve the question on what weapon to use.

 

+Weekly triple charm waterfiends if you do that kind of stuff.

Well the plan is to get 88 or so dungeoneering so I can grab CLS, CR and a few other nice things and then slay to 99. But you're right about getting good exp in dungeons which is good for me.

1) Don't get cls.

 

2) Ss: +82 str +82 attack. Dscim + ddefender: +72 str +91 attack. Korasi's + ddefender: +76 str +94 attack. Ss for low defence, ks for dragons (stab) and high defence. Though ks stab is controlled I think.

 

3) Get a rapier fast.

1) Why not the cls? Octarine and I have started bossing more and it sounds like a good idea? However I obviously wouldn't use it for slayer.

 

2) Alrighty, sounds a plan then.

 

3) Will do! :3

Because even for bosses, rapier > cls.

 

Except on high defense bosses where you're better off just using the maul. This leaves the CLS superior in only two situations: wyverns (since super antis don't block the ice breath iirc) and when using a divine/elysian shield on a high-defense boss.

You don't have divine, so you have no use for cls. Either use rapier + defender or maul (especially in teams, where defence is even less of an issue than normally). Also the crossbow is far better as it helps at tds, dks, Kree'arra and Nex, which are all some good money bosses.

I did the majority of my strength training (and probably the remainder) through dungeoneering, so you should be able to get some decent exp on you way to 88 dg.

Alrighty thanks for the replies guys! :D Guess that sorts it! Drop 94 slayer atm, get 88 or so dung, grab CR and CM and then start slaying again :)
