Been a few years since I played, and noticed some changes. I have a slayer task for Iron Dragons and was going to use Mage. It seems I cannot wield both staff and anti-dragon shield at same time like I did in the past. Am I missing something here?

Staves have become two-handed weapons, so you cannot simultaneously equip both a staff and a shield. Alternatively, you could use a wand and the shield if you want to use magic. You could also use super-antifires and should be fine with a staff, if you meet the requirements to make them (85 Herblore and starting the golem quest).

Thanks for the update, I knew of the antis (and can make) just didn't have any phoenix feathers, seems like a lot of things are not tradeable now as well. Guess I'll range them for now and get feathers for next time. Thank you again :-D

One thing you need to know..

 

2h weapons do 150% damage

duel weilded weapons of the same type do 150% damage

Using a 1 handed weapon with a shield (or no weapon) will only do 100% damage

Only using an off hand weapon will do 50% damage

 

So if you are killing anything with a 1h weap and shield, you would be better off using a 2h weapon or an off hand equivalent, so that you do 50% more damage
