Dherrok of course. His armor gives great defensive stats & you hit harder & harder as you lose xp. Many people let themselves get dangerously close to dying then use prayer to protect them while they hit REALLY hard.

i don't think i would want to lose xp so do u know wat barrows can let me get good bonus but not get me close to dying?


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (3755)   ranked 1 out of 455 in runescape  11 months ago

I wouldn't touch the stuff myself. They degrade, cost a lot to repair if you use them regularly & can give out on you in the middle of battle. I'd stick to the regular non degrading armors if I had the choice.


myLot reputation of 71/100. gbeast95 (317)   ranked 4 out of 455 in runescape  11 months ago

do u mean like dragon armor??


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (3755)   ranked 1 out of 455 in runescape  11 months ago

Here's a quick list of NON degrading armors starting from the weakest ( & thus cheapest ) to the most expensive. Upper tier only

Melea

Rune - Rockshell - Trimmed & gilded rune
Granite
Dragon chain set
Bandos
Dragon Plate set & 3rd age



Range

Spined
Red Dragonhide
Black Dragonhide
3rd age
Armadyl



Mage ( here things vary more chose by the situation your heading into )

Splitbark & skeletal ( highly defensive mage armor )
Mystic & Dagon Hai ( offensive armors )
Infinity ( super offensive armor )

...There are others but they're untradable & you have to earn them in a minigame....

Just so you're aware granite actually has generally lower defences than rune. The only stat it has higher is range defence.


myLot reputation of 71/100. gbeast95 (317)   ranked 4 out of 455 in runescape  11 months ago

i guess im gonna use either bandos or dragon, i probibally use dragon

Yeah like everybody else said. barrows is great armor dharoks is best. but i degrades and costs too much for upkeep. full dragon armor is also expensive. I reccomend using fighting torso(obtained at barbarian assault) Bersker helm or neitznot helm. dragon or rune legs. a rune defender. obsidian or legends cape. and dragon boots. these have great strength bonus with a high defense bonus


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (3755)   ranked 1 out of 455 in runescape  11 months ago

The fighter torso has pathetic defensive stats. Most players only use it for the strength bonus & rely on their prayer to protect them when using it. Granite, rune or rockshell would be a relatively cheap alternative with higher defensive stats.

It's hard to say which set would maximize attack, as none of them give a strength or attack bonus. The only set to give extra damage is Dharoks, and that's only when low on HP.

(Full) Torags is the best set for defence, but it is not better than all other types of Barrows.

Dharok's has the same defence as torags, except for the helm.
Guthan's has the same defence except for the skirt.
Verac's has the same defence except for the brassard (all parts also have lower range and mage defences)

If you want an armor with a strength bonus, get Bandos. It's pretty expensive, but it does give a strength bonus.
Penance torso from Barbarian Assault also gives a strength bonus, but with less defence.

Barrows is primarily for defence, each having its own effect in battle...I would say go with Guthan's for the healing effect, or Verac's for its prayer bonus and ability to hit through defence bonus.

I would not reccomend barrows, it degrades, then it costs YOU money to get it back up, so what I reccomend is to use bandos, it is expensive, so no offense, but you probably won't have for a very long time gbeast. I don't even have a quarter of the cash to buy a bloody 21m platebody...


myLot reputation of 71/100. gbeast95 (317)   ranked 4 out of 455 in runescape  11 months ago

wtf 21m just for platebody? that's it im gonna stick to dragon plate set
