Which Barrows set is best and why?

Featured Replies

Your thoughts on best/favorite Barrows armor?

 

 

 

My favorite one is Veracs, simply because it hits through armor/prayer, so no matter what your against, it's pretty easy. :)

Guthans and arhims ftw! Guthans is great for training, and arhims is great for ancienting in cwars :twisted:

duuuh, it's gotta be guthans. Lol. Guthans is good for killing NPCs, Veracs is good against other player and the KQ, Torags is good for sheer armor, and Dharoks is good for str training. The rest suck, IMHO.

You act like the game community is like the stinking bowels of hell.... In all reality.. its much.. much... worse.

i like veracs , simply because its cool.. not that i will ever be able to afford.. <.< my second favorite is Karhils because thats the most awesome range armor ever... and third is guthans because it has soo many advantages and helps training a lot... but again, alll to expensive

Never take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive.

Ahrims because I like Mage.

 

 

 

Karils is a waste of money (except the bow)

if your going for set effect go with veracs

 

 

 

if your maging go for arims

 

 

 

if your doing long training go with guthans

 

 

 

if your goin for big hits go with dharok

 

 

 

really the only one that you wouldnt want to use would be torag or karil

The best set all depends on what you're doing. My favorite is either dharoks or guthans though.

the only barrow set ill ever have is full guthans the rest is just useless

the def of torags = def of guthan/dharok pieces mixed together. i don't see the point of torags if you have guthan and dharok

 

 

 

guthans is best

kails just to be different ::'

Hey, no offence but Guthan sucks the dirt.....

 

 

 

It is horrible for training.. Only controlled attacks? wth is that about?

 

 

 

Mine is Dharok, great looks, great def and great max hit.....

You like melee...don't you. You named all 4 melee. I agree that Karils sucks...but Ahrims is pretty good.

 

 

 

 

 

That being said, I've never owned a barrow armor. When I get it, it will be dharoks or versacs, but it would be guthans if I could afford.

Quit RS, combat 104, total 1651

I'd have to say guthan. Out of all of em its the most useful imo of course. Its great to not worry about taking food leaves all that inventory open for pots. and i after i get 99 attack it will make def training that much easier

15 skills 90+ - 10 skills 99 - 200m+ total exp

well its depends on what you do:

 

 

 

staking - torags

 

cw - ahrims

 

kq - veracs

 

slayer - guthans

 

pc - dharok

 

 

 

no one uses karils :P :roll:

Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool

no one ever uses the full set of ahrims when playing in cw, so technically, counting it as a good barrows set in cw for ancienting would be incorrect.

 

 

 

guthans ftw

here's my first post on the TIF (scroll to the bottom)

feel free to pm me, but do make sure that i know you're a Tip.It user (in other words, give me a HYT)

Guthans at the moment. Being able to stay and train at one spot for as long as i need to is pretty exciting. i will probebly sell my whip soon and buy dharoks to mass train str at ape atol to see how that works. but so far, its been Guthans.

Funny you say that. I'm always a ranger, and always have been a ranger. I hate Karil's set because it brings nothing useful to the ranger table. We don't need more powerful weapons, we need more tactical uses for our current weapons.

 

 

 

Ahrims I think is fairly decent for the mage bonus. I have some, and I use it fairly frequently. I just don't think the set effect makes it worth the extra cash over mystic.

 

 

 

Torags is my least favorite. The effect is god-awful, and the weapon is slow and weak. The armor bonus you get from Torags is only slightly worse than guthans, which I also have. I find guthans to be the most effective, both for set effect and armor bonus.

You act like the game community is like the stinking bowels of hell.... In all reality.. its much.. much... worse.

i love guthans for training slayer. 8-)

 

 

 

ahrims for cw or barrows runs.

 

 

 

never really used any others for any length of time, so i can't comment on them

Point = you spent millions more to get something with the same defense...

 

 

 

I don't factor the hammers into torags set, they stink. I use a whip, much better.

karils is good for slayer task like jellies or bloodvelds so i wouldn't say it's totally useless. \'

Sig by me :)

I think I know why you made this topic :-$ .

 

 

 

IMO it's gotta be Verac's as well... I have my eyes on it as soon as I hit 70 defence 8-) .

all sets are pretty much handy, but i am always partial to veracs(got the full set from the barrows itself)

 

 

 

the use of ice barrage simply takes away the value of karils and torags(wildy based sets - lowers the run rate)

 

 

 

 

 

the only set i would not get is torags, whip can do the same effect, and as i said ealier, ice spells just kill the use of it

 

 

 

karils does bring quite enough to the ranger's world of pking, if you dont have the high enough mage lvl to entangle ot ice, the lowering of agility will be quite helpful if they try run, shoot them a few times, kill their agility and restore it by dd speccing them and sending them to their designated point of origin

 

 

 

torags and karils are syngergenic, the destruction of the running factor is usually strong for deep wildy

 

 

 

dharoks and guthans can go together as you can make damage both ways efficiently, and one effect can balance out the other

 

 

 

ahrims and veracs can loosely work together as the strength lowering can make it so that the veracs wont be hit though so often

 

 

 

also, to be on the karil side, when ranging, it isnt like you're gonna be on melee combat against the other, so the higher mage+range def of karils armour is good

I like Guthan set the most because you can use it practically everywhere.

 

Also Ahrims is good for CW :!:.
