This topic has been debated over many many times and I, personaly, favor
Dragon. Why? I don't know, I just do and I'm really get sick of people
jumping all over my a** when I say that I'm thinking of saving up for
a D chain instead of Bandos. I did some research.

{I might change the Ammy of Glory for a Fury. I'm not sure.
I tend to favor Glory over Fury because of the teleporting feature.}


Dragon over Bandos {For Defencie Bonus}
Stab- Loss of 18
Slash- Gain of 9
Crush- Loss of 12
Magic- Loss of 1
Range- Loss of 75
Strength- Loss of 9
Prayer- Loss of 5


Bonus wise, Bandos is better than Dragon.

BUT
D med-61.1k
Glory-Owned
Cape-Owned
Chain-7.9m
Skirt-Owned
Whip-Owned
Square-Owned
Gloves-Owned
Boots-Owned
Total:7,961,100


Helm of Nez-51.8k
Glory-Owned
Cape-Owned
Chest-11.8m
Tassets-8.8m
Whip-Owned
Square-Owned
Gloves-Owned
Boots-Owned
Total:20,651,800.

Price wise Dragon is better, for me personaly anyway.

Getting back to the stats. I don't plan on doing anything that would
require the Defence stats of Bandos. I really never fight anything
stronger than myself unless I'm with someone else. {Like KBDing.}
For me personaly, Dragon is logicly the better choice considering my
money at the moment, means of income, and useage.

Now, my main point is that both Dragon and Bandos are good but neither
is better than the other on a whole. The "betterness" of the armor really
depends on who is using it, what they are using it for, and how often they
plan on using it. For me, Dragon is the right path. For someone like Felix
who trained combat a lot more than I and had more money Bandos would
be the smarter choice. I'd also like to point out that instead of investing
in Bandos right away may or may not be a good idea.


I guess I'm just trying to say, or rather ask,
Lay off a bit? It's my choice, not yours. I don't need you badgering
me for something that isnt even going to effect you. I can understand
giving stats if someone asks for your opinion on which is better but
screaming at them after they choose the one you don't side with is just rude.

That is all.




{P.S. I know I might sound hipicritacal with the last part but meh.}

i suggest adding d legs instead of skirt but meh its your choise. def replace the d gloves with barrows gloves. and i would use rune defender instead of d square for str bonus. and as for a ring i would use berserker ring there.

I believe D legs and skirts have the same stats, but legs cost more?
Yes I should have used barrows gloves, that slipped my mind,
and as for the rune defender I kinda the Dragon Square better.
As for the ring, I usually use a ROW. HQ didnt have it listed.

Yeah, and Dragon Skirts are also Lighter than Dragon Legs if you didn't know that =P Not a significant difference, but, hey, it's worth it sweatdrop

Anyways, I like your decision. I love strength bonus, but I would rather save money while buying something that could be even more armourous (and more stylish than Barrows for sure).

Good choice *thumbs up*

I prefer Dragon. I've used both sets, they are very similar with the exception of Bandos Plate's annoying heavy weight, but I do. I don't want to explain it, it is difficult. I just do.

Theres nothing wrong with using either set. But as Lizzy stated, jumping down somebody's a** over saving for Dragon rather then Bandos is none of that person's business. I find it annoying as well. This is hard to explain, but seriously she is right. Lay off.

Oh and According to Rune Wiki, Dragon legs and skirt have the same weight.

Odd... I'll have to check out that personally. I was told by a bird a year ago in a random tree in Varrock that they weighed less rofl

Honestly. If you have the money for bandos, get it, if you have the money for dragon, get that. Or just be 1337 and buy a dfs and get a fighter torso.
PostPosted: Mon Sep 22, 2008 12:01 pm


cloudy's dream = dfs, neitixnot, d legs, fighters torso, d gloves, d boots, fury, and untrimmed att cape. its my personal favorite look, but honestly i'd buy full dragon over bandos just for the fact i could use the rest of the cash and buy range and mage gear :p but thats my personal reason why, i understand why everyone says bandos is better but if you call someone a noob for it (certain people in the guild have to me for my decisions) then go your own way and i'll do what i do ^ ^ (and my 99 att goal is still ongoing.... once i get a comp that can play rs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) i miss you guys and i hope to see yall soon!!!! <333 -stabs kail with scythe- had to do it

Give him a break. The thread wasn't even off the first page.

I am less extravegant than most when it comes to armour.
I still use Obsidian Shield, and I wear a Rune Plate.

The only expensive piece of armor I wear is Dragon Legs.
