FinalMix Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hello everyone! I am having some doubt about buying Dharok's or to save up for Bandos, what do you guys recommend?The main reason I want those sets are for PvM and combat leveling, what would be the best in the long run? Thanks in advance! - xoxo F.Mix' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishamael Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 In the long run you would save money with Bandos, with the repair cost of Barrows armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinalMix Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Money Isn't a problem really, what should be the most effective? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Bandos chestplate would be a bit more effective. Tassets, boots, helmet etc. are only more efficient. Assuming stable prices.

Mylez Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I wouldn't bother with Bandos Helm, however Chest & Legs are a must have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinalMix Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 I wouldn't bother with Bandos Helm, however Chest & Legs are a must have! Which helm should I use with the cp and tassets then? What do you recommend? :)And what about the gloves/boots? Is my Warrior's Ring good enough or are there any better rings for melee? :) Sorry for so many questions :razz: Thanks in advance, - xoxo F.Mix' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpieman2 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I would say Dharoks first if you never had it before. Then save up for bandos and sell Dharoks when you're ready. A bonus for barrows armor is set effects, which Dharok's is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambler Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Dharok's set is probably best for you until you can get a chaotic or drygore weapon. Just stay around half hp and you'll be dealing a lot of damage. :thumbup: ^^My blog of EoC PvM, lols and Therapy.^^My livestream- Currently: Offline :(Offical Harpy Therapist of the Mad[hide=Lewtations]Barrows drops: Dharok's helm x2, Guthan's helm, Ahrim's top, Hood and skirt, Torag's hammers, Karils skirt, Karil's top, Torag's helm, Verac's skirt, Verac's Flail, Dharok's Platebody.Dag kings drops: Lost count! :wall:4k+ Glacors, 7 Ragefires, 4 Steadfasts, 4 Glaivens, 400+ shards![/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, your warrior ring is fine. The only other better rings are the 6th age circuit and oxyn for being multiclass at the same crt and the warrior ring (i) at 3.0% crt. As for helm, you could use veracs(t70) for +1 prayer or take a hit in defense and use nezzy(+55) for +3 prayer.

For dpsing it comes second to none. Summoning help:[hide=Wio, lol][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Bandos helm is basically Verac's but not degrading, so it's a good option. The other GWD helmets have the same stats but different defence focus of course, so use subjugation if you want melee defence and armadyl if you want mage defence.

Rinc3Wind Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Buy Bandos when GWD goes instanced. It'll be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can solo or bring in friends to GWD without anyone crashing. So expect GWD armor/weapons to decrease in price. Especially Bandos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can solo or bring in friends to GWD without anyone crashing. So expect GWD armor/weapons to decrease in price. Especially Bandos. Too soon to say that for sure. Especially since most people instancing will be doing hardmode in all likelyhood and on top that that we don't know if bandos will be classified as an offensive armour or not yet.

ACK Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Go for Bandos even if you got a higher armour such as torva or tetsu, still bandos is one of the top 3 melee armour 'til to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiel Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 get at least BCP if you have the money, I use mine (granted it's a lucky BCP, so I value it at 0 gp) more often then my tetsu plate. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR 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).

Powerfrog Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Crashing, anti-crashing and meeting new high tier PVM people you can form relationships with were the best parts about GWD =/ People say EOC is being made "too easy" a lot but I think this kind of crap really does show they're removing all sense of competition out of the game in place of boring old grinding. BCP has +26 damage and +13 offhand damage, and +1 prayer over a barrows platebody. Do what you want with that information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
