April 21, 201115 yr Just wondering if it's worth shelling out 8 mil for a Bandos Godsword to use at barrows instead of Whip + Defender. Also, is veracs still viable these days? Whips: 3 Dragon Boots: 15 My 99's: Attack & Cooking Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Goldenjkered
April 21, 201115 yr Whip is definately much better for attacking the brothers (much faster attack, so higher DPS I think). I assume you're maging the 4 melee brothers and meleeing the other two? You could always swap the BGS out for the dds, but if you have a bad spec with bgs thats a waste. I would just say whip+defender+dds.

April 21, 201115 yr Author Nah, meleeing them all. Whips: 3 Dragon Boots: 15 My 99's: Attack & Cooking Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Goldenjkered
April 21, 201115 yr Why would you melee them all?With high melees and a lower mage, meleeing all can be more effective. OT: Whip, the speed advantage over the godsword is better than the small advantage of slightly higher hits.

April 21, 201115 yr Author The reason why I melee them all, is because it's cheaper (saves runes), and it means my inventory is more spacious for more supplies. Whips: 3 Dragon Boots: 15 My 99's: Attack & Cooking Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Goldenjkered
April 21, 201115 yr The reason why I melee them all, is because it's cheaper (saves runes), and it means my inventory is more spacious for more supplies. At your levels, it'd actually be cheaper to use ice spells and a black salamander. It's not how much money you save on supplies - it's how fast you can do chests in one trip. At your stats, melee will be slow and tedious. You should only melee with full void, chaotic rapier, overloads, and turmoil. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.
April 21, 201115 yr Author I've probably done 500+ chests with just melee, so I know what it's like. Melee is just less work, and I'm lazy to be honest. Whips: 3 Dragon Boots: 15 My 99's: Attack & Cooking Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Goldenjkered
April 21, 201115 yr I've probably done 500+ chests with just melee, so I know what it's like. Melee is just less work, and I'm lazy to be honest.Which is the only proper reason to melee barrows, after all, as it's slower than magic 99% of the time. Use a whip.

April 21, 201115 yr Author I've never used a Godsword only whip, so I was wondering how well they do at barrows. Whips: 3 Dragon Boots: 15 My 99's: Attack & Cooking Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Goldenjkered
April 21, 201115 yr Whip will do more damage for you and spending 8 mil for an activity that doesn't pay very much isn't ideal tbh.
April 21, 201115 yr Use whip and if you have SGS I would bring it along (Unless you have a different spec weapon) ]
April 21, 201115 yr Use whip and if you have SGS I would bring it along sell it and buy d claws for a spec weapon.

April 21, 201115 yr Use whip and if you have SGS I would bring it along sell it and buy d claws for a spec weapon. Fixed This. There's no reason to own a SGS and every reason to use d claws at barrows. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

There's no reason to own a SGS and every reason to use d claws at barrows. I thought he was being sarcastic... Are claws actually useful for barrows? They're the best spec weapon for barrows. Use them on Ahrim and Karil with spec restores. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.
April 22, 201115 yr btw yes i verac at barows and it just fine for me but if you dont verac bring a whip+ ddef+claws "Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances."Benjamin Franklin "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."Albert Einstein
