There are only like 4 weapons worth using on waterfiends. Zamorakian spear, Saradomin Sword, Goliaths and Chaotic maul. Maul/Goliaths are the only ones you can train def with. You could get the ZS and train controlled with it. If you aren't using one of those 4 weapons, you probably shouldn't kill waterfiends. (Unless you have the maul, forget about training def.) As for setup....

 

Along with the weapons mentioned, you'll want range armour for body/legs, for magic def. Dunno what your range level is but the best options are either karil or royal dragonhide. Probably royal dragonhide because I think it's a lot cheaper. Neitiznot is probably the best helm. SW/Firecape are the recommended capes to use like everywhere, but if you don't have it, look for something prayer boosting like the God cloaks or Ardougne cape. Faling that, obsidian. Gloves are the best RFD gloves you have. Boots are dragon boots.

 

Also, you'll want to use super att/str potions and prayer potions to pray piety/ranged prayer. They're worth it and not as expensive as you think. If you don't have piety, chances are you should use the next best pray. Also, super def pots might help you out. Not sure on those.

 

You'll also want to use a bunyip there and use the swallow whole scroll.

my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them me

Buying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.

Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:

your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupine

The only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

Good advice. I have a few things to add.

 

Karil's is pretty cheap now, and it far outclasses royal's magic defence. I hear a chaotic rapier works quite well at waterfiends; its brute force makes up for the non-crush attack style. If you happen to have one, go ahead and try it out.

 

I'd really recommend training strength before defence, as it'll speed all your melee leveling up in the long run, but that's more of your choice.

Dragonhide does work fairly well if you're on a budget, though.

 

If you want to train defense you'll have to either use a chaotic weapon or goliaths, since the Zspear only does controlled on crush and the Sara sword trains strength.

No offense, but I suggest you make more money then >_>

 

Waterfiends are absolutely horrible to kill if you don't have the right gear. And the ZS alone is just under 4m.

Chaotic Rapier is greater than maul even though its stab, because of the high accuracy bonus and its a lot faster.

 

Wrong. Rapier at near maxed stats, extremes and piety/turmoil is on par with maul. At OP's stats a rapier will be bad, plain and simple.

No, Tieszen, it's not. Or at least, we don't know yet. The whole rapier thing is inconclusive because no one ever bothered to get wfs crush defense rating.

So would anybody be able to compare to me the effectiveness of maul vs rapier at 85 melee's or is there just not enough information? (Basically turning into the Waterfiends are weak to crush topic :P)

Don't camp waterfiends if you don't have ss, zs, goliaths or cmaul, period.

 

Burst rock lobsters instead. Use defensive casting if you really must.

Gear : elite void (deflector if using Goliath gloves), fury, berserker ring (i), dragon boots, kiln>fire>sw cape, weapon =golaith gloves >cmaul>sarasword>zspear.

 

Pray piety/turmoil the whole time, pray range with a bunyip and bring an we for additional healing. If you have turmoil just soul split the whole time. Use the highest att str potions you can as well.
