Armadyl vs. Karil/Spec vs. DFS

Featured Replies

Is the diffirence between Karil/Dhide and Armadyl at Arma GWD noticable enough to push my KC up by 4 or 5 kills per trip?

Same question goes for Spec vs. DFS.

Reason why i'm asking is that i want to start Boss Hunting again next week. I have bought enough scrolls, pouches, potions and runes to last me a few weeks. I have 75m left and a DFS i'm debating on selling. If i sell it I would considder buying a Spectral for Arma/Bandos/Zammy which would leave me with enough to buy Armadyl. But then the problem is that i might not have a usefull shield for DKs (i doubt a Spectral would serve any prupose there).

 

What would your advice be?

DFS is (nearly) useless.

 

Which doesn't pertain at all to his question. This is not helpful nor is it advice.

 

OT: No clue about spec vs dfs. From what I've seen posted arma is about 3-4 kills per trip more than Karils.

Armadyl Drops : 4 Hilts; 3 Chestplates; 2 Chainskirts; 1 Helmet; 1 Buckler; 2 Shard 1; 2 Shard 2; 1 Shard 3

Nex : 1 Zaryte Bow

Kalphite King : 1 Drygore Rapier ; 1 Drygore Longsword : 1 Drygore Offhand Rapier : 1 Drygore Offhand Longsword

It really depends on what you do most. You can use a DFS at Bandos, Arma, K'ril, and DKs. You can use a spectral at Arma and Bandos.

 

Get spectral if you spend the vast majority of your time at Arma and/or Bandos.

Get DFS if you divide your time between all four bosses pretty evenly.

 

EDIT: And get full arma either way, as you seem to be serious about Kree.

Goal is to have 500 Solo's of each of the GWD bosses and 2k DKs. So i guess that would be a pretty even spread. So i guess i'll stick to DFS then and get the Arma aswell.

 

Unless anyone else has more usefull information to add, i think i have all the answers i need.

Thanks! :thumbup:

What are you exactly doing @ DKS? Because Spectral ain't thát bad over there after all: you're wearing melee armour (ranged defence), so you could use some mage defence against the spinolyps. Even more; a SSS doesn't give any negative mage or range attack bonusses and you get more prayer bonus. Although you need to sacrifice some strength bonus and a bit of melee and ranged defence bonusses for that, I think you'll do fine with a spectral, certainly if you combine it with doing Armadyl trips.

He asked DFS vs Spectral. I answered.

Shinanigans. You didn't specify in any capacity which would be better for his purpose. You told him that its nearly useless.

Spectral is better at all GWD bosses.

 

If you plan on killing 500 each you will definitely make the money to buy a DFS + waaay more.

 

Get the spectral now, buy DFS when you start DKS.

 

Or just sell spec back, buy dfs when you need it, sell dfs, buy spec, etc etc etc.

 

Simple really

It's great you know what you're talking about rustiod. Everything you've said is 100% accurate a true.

 

That being said...your a [bleep]ing [bleep] douchebag, and none of your advice will ever (or should ever) be taken seriously because of it.

disregard good advice because the giver is a douche

 

THAT MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON

He'd be 2.5briding, meaning he doesn't need any magic defense. Arcane or DFS would be better for DKs.

I'd buy spectral for GWDs and arcane for DKs

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).
