For soloing Bandos, which would be better to use, Dragon defender or Obsidian shield?

 

I'm max melee, I have overloads, turmoil, and yak.

This is my gear:

 

v helm

ardy cape 3

fury

k top

tassets

d boots

zerker

barrows gloves

rapier

*obby shield or dragon def*

 

I want to know whether Obby shield or Dragon defender would be better. I'm using dragon claws for the spec, so i'll be getting about one spec per kill (no spec restores)

 

Please don't suggest dfs, d sq, or any spirit shield, I don't want to risk rapier (already using protect item)

Personally I prefer defender, especially if you can flash soul split.

 

It WILL give you a shorter trip than obby, generally speaking, but you also get more kills/hour. Considering the fact that it only takes like 7 minutes to fully regear and get back in with killcount, more kills/hour vs kills/trip is better at Bandos than, say, Arma.

 

If you do end up with a tank shield, be sure to bring a defender on you anyway in case of crashers.

thanks, I'm not too concerned with the trip length, but fast kills at the cost of a shorter trip is fine with me :)

If you aren't concerned with trip length, there can be no argument. Dragon defender is better.
