Chaotic Kiteshield?


Jeff Delu

Recommended Posts

Recently I've been putting a lot of thought into what I should spend my dungeoneering tokens on. I currently have the rapier, the longsword, arcane stream, scroll of life and scroll of cleansing, but I am clueless as to what to purchase next. I spend most of my time slaying but I have been getting into bossing a bit lately. I've mostly been doing Bandos but I'd like to try out some other bosses soon. I've been thinking about a chaotic kiteshield for tanking/soloing Bandos but I'm unsure if it would trump a dragonfire shield. It has a pretty hefty range defence and range soak but it also has 15 less mage defence and 7 less strength than the DFS. I'd like to hear from anyone who has compared CKS to DFS at Bandos or from anyone who has other ideas for my tokens.

 

Thanks,

It sucks. Rigor/ccbow should be your next two for arma and nexing.

PM me in game anytime

 

It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet.

 

That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying.

I considered getting Rigour and crossbow but I'm only 87 range with no intention of training it any other way than passively through cannoning slayer tasks, so I figure it will be a long while before my stats are fit for Armadyl let alone Nex. As for the maul, where is that useful?

I got cks and tbh i rarely use it anymore since i dont really hav cash for pvm gear.

 

However when i went bandos solo with cks, i didnt notice that big of a difference between dfs and cks. Also dfs doesnt cost to repair.

 

I suggest getting another chaotic like cbow for arma or maul for waterfriend tasks.

CKS is an improvement over dfs in ranged defence, but not in offence. Depending on whether you use cls or rapier you lose either 7 or 5 points to your offence (attack=strength on Graardor). You also lose 15 magic defence which is a large difference. A spectral spirit shield is superior, as is a dragonfire shield and a dragon defender.

 

Chaotic maul is a great fun weapon and it's much nicer to kill waterfiends with than ss.

I'm now considering maul. Been using cls+defender with max strength bonus at bandos. Would maul be a good replacement there?

 

Edit: This is duo/trio as a non-tank

ya maul is great at bandos teams, i use it all the time over my other chaotics, they are all very similiar in dps on graahdor but i enjoy hitting very with the maul, aswell the maul is good for ac situations when u may only get one hit off and you want it to be the highest hit u can(assuming you have used up your claw spec(s)
