Keris vs Drygore Rapier

Recommended Posts

So here's some background information. I just got 90 attack so am planning to get a set of drygores soon. I'm thinking mh drygore mace and oh drygore rapier, but then I thought I might do kalphite king someday. If I were to do kalphite king, would Keris with oh drygore rapier or mh drygore rapier with oh drygore rapier be better? According to reddit, Keris is better, but according to RuneWIki, Keris is still crap. Can anyone help clarify this? If drygore rapier is better, then I'll probably get dual rapiers, but if Keris is better for kalphite kings, then I'll probably get mh drygore mace and oh drygore rapier.

 

However, if anyone recommends a specific combination for me for some other reason that I have overlooked, let me know. Thanks!

Keris runs into the issue of hitting the damage hard cap and its Dps is rather iffy due to its awful accuracy.

 

If you run it you need to run gear swaps which is typically not necessary in groups. More a solo thing.

 

I don't think it'll be worth running after the death rework.

I'm pretty noob at Runescape so bear with me...you're saying if I use keris, I have to run gear swaps? What are gear swaps? And why won't they be worth running after death rework?

The Keris is really bad unless you have the Desert Amulet 3/4.

“I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”

“Do you have any regrets?”

“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”

“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”

“Mmmhmm.”

Running a set of melee/magic/ranging weapons and armor. So like hybrid or trybrid. Keris can't hit anything other than the ranged phase.

 

Running gear swaps ends up making you lose way too much than it's worth if you die. At Kalphite King death is really out of your control regardless of how good you are.

I was actually thinking about using warpriest armor and tribridding but I'm thinking tier 60 defenses probably won't be enough now. Basically, I should buy drygore rapier and oh drygore rapier if I'm planning on doing KK at all then right?

Keris is only better on kaphites with desert amulet 3 or 4. Otherwise, use drygores
