IeatWindex Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 So I did originally plan on buying Bcp and the tassets for 37m or so, but that seemed a bit pricy and after going over the stats didn't seem much better than Barrows except it's strength bonus. So I'm thinking that maybe Guthans armor with dragon boots and a dfs would be better? And I'd still have alot of money left over. Would that be sufficient basic armor for just everyday training/slayer tasks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Guthan's platebody + Verac's skirt for ordinary melee. Proselyte when heavily praying, torso when you don't need defence. Generally torso > prossy but you may not want to get one.

Johannas Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Depends what your levels are/what tasks you do. Alot of people consider barrows overkill, which is part of the reason they use bandos (and the str bonus ofc) My setup (for general melee monsters)...Full slayer helmFury Guthan's plate (could use Dharok or Torag, same bonuses - guthans was cheaper when i bought it)Verac's skirt (could use dharok or torag, but i like the added prayer bonus) Dragon bootsDragon defenderWhipSW cape + Bunyip For mage-ish monsters (bloodvelds, sceptres, aquanites) i would use karils. Not sure what your levels are though, chaotic weapon would be better, and unicorn if you're 88 summoning. Guthan's is trash so don't waste your money on that. Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!

Is that pretty decent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegelstad Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 DFS sucks for everything except Wyverns. Get a dragon defender and you are set My lame drops:6 Effigys1 D Med - 1 D Dagger1 Verac's Helmet - 1 Guthan's Platebody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Use Johannas' setup with a torso. Pray piety whenever meleeing. Don't get Guthan's. You can use Karil's on monsters that mage, but it's really more convenient to just cannon the important mage monsters (abberant spectres and bloodvelds) with protect from magic and melee respectively. You only need to kill these on task, off task crawlers and black dragons are probably better. Off task use a helmet of Neitiznot.

Shadow37 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 For magic monsters (if you're not praying), just use black dhide, or black dhide body +karil skirt. That's what I do anyway, cheap and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
