Weapon/Armour stats and attack styles...

[halo2_rocks7]

Don't know if there has been other topics about this, but I used the Search button and got some topics similar to this one, but only focusing on one thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, on to the topic...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whenever you go melee training, you usually put on your usual armour (ex: barrows armour, dragon armour, rune armour...etc.), but who actually utilizes the stat bonuses that each armour gives?

 

 

 

Like, before I achieved 100 combat a few months ago, I would wear whatever I wanted to wear (rune armour (i was poor), whip and so on...), but now that I actually looked at the stats of each item, I realize that they suck lol. So I decided to look at the stats of all the Melee armour out there, and realized that barrows would be so much better, as I'd use a lot less food. So I got enough money for Torags pl8 and legs, and was much better off.

 

 

 

Same goes for weapons, except I only use whatever weapon that I want to train with. Like, Scimmy for Str, and Whip for Att & Def.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now for weapon styles, I would usually train with whatever attack style I wanted to use. However, I looked at how much I would hit on a monster while using different attack styles, and realized that some hit better than others. This is especially true with Guthans, since everything (but defensive) is controlled. However, each one attack style is different (Crush, Stab, and Slash), so I noticed I hit harder and more often while using Stab on Trolls, Slash on Daggs, and so on..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I'm asking, do you use the Armour and Weapon stats to your advantage, or only use what you feel like using? Also, do use utilize the attack styles to your advantage, or just use whatever style so you can train that certain skill?

I use the defence one on my whip.

I don't really care about the attack bonuses, too complicated to me, but I'm a fan of defence so I care alot about my defence bonus. :)

I'm allways looking out for the best equipment and I hate seeing someone walk past me in armor I don't know the (ballpark) stats of. But now that the kb has more and more stat tables I just screenied most and cut and pasted them together by type. So not guthans set in one table and rune set in another, no guthans plate and rune plate in the same table, legs in the next table, another with helmets, one with shields and so on. Same with mage and range armor. Makes comparing armor types very easy. I should post those tables here sometime...
