What is the best armor set up(Outfit) for a melee'r?

 

As in stats what is the best:helm, pl8, legs, cape, gloves, etc.

 

plz post your opinions and pics if possible.

It depends on what you want to do.

 

 

 

For training most anything, I'd assume most go with full dragon (chain, legs/skirt) with barrows gloves but some substitute d med with a warrior or berserker Fremmenik helm. Obsidian cape or fire cape (many go with obby because it can be sold by players) and an obsidian shield should round things out.

 

 

 

For training desert bandits and some slayer, it's full Guthan-- for desert bandits, it's completed with a god cape since the bandits will attack anyone wearing god armor.

 

 

 

I have seen people using Guthan minus the spear with a whip and obby shield instead (if I remember that right).

 

 

 

Full Dharok's isn't as popular but I imagine that it works well for one-hit training or low-level monsters with high HP and/or low defense (last I saw it was in the Legends guild, on shadow warriors).

 

 

 

Sorry I don't have pics.

rune kite

 

abby whip

 

reg boots

 

ice gloves

 

fremmmenik cloak

you might want to get rune boots, or different gloves. i know that there are some weird quest gloves, i think dwarven gloves, that give you strength bonuses. if you can't afford rune boots, climbing boots also have a strength bonus i think..

(this is with NO special ability)

 

 

 

Helm: Guthan's Helm/Torag's Helm

 

Body: Guthan's Platebody

 

Legs: Dharok's Legs/Torag's Legs

 

Weapon: Whip (Drag Battleaxe has higher str though)

 

Shield: Dragon Sq. Shield (or Crystal Shield 9/10 or 10/10)

 

Ammy: Ammy of Fury

 

Boots: Rune Boots

 

Gloves: (Barrows) Gloves (need to complete Recipe for Disaster quest; you get from Culinaromancer's Chest for 130k)

 

Ring: Warrior Ring

 

Cape: Fire Cape (if you beat TzTok-Jad, if not, Legends Cape or Obby Cape is good too)

if you do underground pass you get some nice gloves

 

i think they're called kavoraks gloves

[chenw]

Its Klank's Gauntlet, its power is very much lessened due to the fact that Family Crest Gauntlets have the exact same stat, and much more easily replaced than Klanks, and if you have gone far into Recipe for Disaster, then any gloves above Bronze will have better attack/str bonus than Klanks, and its pretty cheap too

 

 

 

Rune Gloves beats it back to front in both the Def and Attack bonuses

 

 

 

Barrows however, is the best gloves hands down, + 12 to all melee attack and defence bonus, +12 to range attack and defence bonus, +6 to mage attack and defence, and finally +12 to strength bonus.
