which set is best for melee?

Featured Replies

i don't really know which each set does, and i've looked a little n couldnt find a lot. i'm about to be member 2day or 2morrow n wanted to know which is the best gear for just basic melee training. guthans, veracs, torags or dharocks..or other..like dragon or sumthin :\ i dunno.

Full rune is all I can say because I'm F2P... And, You can't even bother to say "tomorrow" instead of "2morrow"? It's just 2 letters, geeeeeeez

For basic melee training I would suggest purchasing Guthans, simply because of its special effect, which occasionally lets you heal the amount of damage you inflict to the monster.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are not fighting particularly high leveled monsters a set of full rune and some monkfish is still a good combination.

Depends on your stats... all the barrows sets are 70 defence plus other requirements, and barrows has a repair cost too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you want a barrows set for melee training, the healing effect of Guthans (random effect with full set) may let you stay longer in an area, but it's probably a waste of the repair cost to use it that way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Otherwise, good training setups are full rune, full rune with dragon weapon (req, 60 attack, 40 def), or full/partial dragon armour (req. 60 def).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are training on stuff that doesn't hit hard or often, then your F2P rune armour is still an effective training set, though if you have 60 attack, going for a dragon weapon is a higher priority, as it will increase your damage output.

Come on people just stop criticizing and answer the question. The answer to your question is probably for you is a combo of rune armor and after you do some quests more stuff will open up like dragon weapons and freminik helms and such. don't use guthans for standard combat only for certain things. Hope that helps a bit more.

lol that was a good story but his eyesight must be poor... it's a well known fact that mods only drop garages on players. :lol:

Things you can wear if you can't afford barrows

 

 

 

-Beserker helm

 

 

 

-Rune pl8(may consider granite pl8 for better def

 

 

 

-Rune legs(d legs if you have them)

 

 

 

-Highly recommend barrows gloves (though need completion of rfd) otherwise any should be fine

 

 

 

-Climbing boots or rune boots

 

 

 

-Whip

 

 

 

-Rune defender or shield/book

 

 

 

-Obby cape/legends or CoA. Best is fire cape

Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

this is the setup i use i find it really good it looks good and has gr8 def bonus and u will have hi str bonus and att bonus so its good all around but a lil pricey and for food u should buy 30-200k feathers and fish like 2k trout/salmon then train cb till u got no food left and repeat this what im doin for 95 att u can switch ammy,ring and shield (by the way obby shield looks rly good wit this setup

Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak

ok who in there right mind would buy dragon for training

 

 

 

when they can buy torages for a 15th the price almost

I dont have a sig anymore =[

But I did manage to get every skill in the highscores

HEY BALLLLLLIN!!! you probobly dont remember me, but you might know me as p 0 0 n king on rs, or d strength d, (my pures) i saw you sitting in the hill giant hut in like 15 wild the other day, at least i think it was you... it was a guy named 'balllllin pk' or ballllling pker or something like that... anyways if i was you, a rich arrow, and feather seller i would buy full guthans just like that one mod guy said...

 

 

 

but if your f2p i would get full rune (g) for like 1m, a rune wh, power amulet, yellow cape, fancy boots, gold gloves, and you will look 'balllling' lol, and still own with the rune war hammer, but thats just for walking around, but yeah, for training definitly guthans, or maybe veracs, their set effects both own pretty hard, veracs (hit through armour and prayer), and guthans (randomly when you hit a number that number will be added to your hp), good luck...

The word Free To Play would not fit in that space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strength: Dharoks Full Set, Rune Boots, Fury amulet, Barrows Gloves, Berserker Ring and low Hit Points.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Rest: Torags Platebody, Torags Legs, Amulet of Fury, Berserker Ring, Abyssal Whip, Berserker Helmet, Barrows Gloves, Rune Boots, Obby Shield.

Matter of opinion whether you want better accuracy and strength or defence

Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that.....

Torags has a bad set effect but full torags no hammers with a whip and dragon square is good. But that means you need 70 def 70 attk and have to complete legends.

Really rich: 3rd age

 

 

 

2. dragon

 

 

 

3. guthans

 

 

 

4. verac

 

 

 

5. torags

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, ahrim + whip + obsidian shield is a good combo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pros: Good mage defense/ attack, decent melee protection, looks cool

 

 

 

Cons: Not as good as rune armor, and not very good stab protection as it is made of chainmail.

Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.
