RuneScape and want to get started with Slayer or Bossing. MmoGah

· Tank armour includes PvM damage reduction

comfortable, you should transition over to power armour for more DPS.

Defenders
Corrupted defender (Tier 70)

34. Ancient defender (Tier 80)
Kalphite defender (Tier 90)
Defenders are also another option in this slot, and these are unlocked via
boss dropswhen you have lower tier defenders unlocked.
Defenders act as shield half their tier but allow for dual-wielding and
shield ability to be used. These defenders also boostAccuracyby 3% and
have a 1/15 chance to decrease the damage taken from a hit by 50-100%,
which also increases the player's accuracy for their next attack by 20%.
11. Weapons
Armadyl godsword (Tier 75, 1694 Accuracy, 1676 Damage)

35. Attuned crystal halberd/Chaotic maul (Tier 80, 1924 Accuracy, 1788
Damage)
Dragon Rider lance (Tier 85, 2458 Accuracy, 1788 Damage)
Annihilation (Tier 87, 2287 Accuracy, 1944 Damage)
Noxious scythe (Tier 90, 2458 Accuracy, 2011 Damage)
Zaros godsword (Tier 92, 2577 Accuracy, 2056 Damage)
You need to take a look at the Accuracy and Damage rating on the
weapon you want to choose, and then compare the price differences
between 2 weapons that you can afford.

36. If you can’t afford the Noxious scythe and you don’tneed tier 90
Accuracy, then Annihilation is a good option over a Dragon Rider lance
for almost the same price.
Dual Melee Weapons
Kharidian (Tier 82, 2023 Accuracy, 1180 Damage)
Tetsu katana (Tier 85, 2178 Accuracy, 1561 Damage)
Ripper claw (Tier 85, 2178 Accuracy, 1224 Damage)
Blade of Nymora/Blade of Avaryss (Tier 85, 2458 Accuracy, 1152
Damage)
Drygores (Tier 90, 2458 Accuracy, 1653-1296 Damage)

37. Khopesh (Tier 92, 2577 Accuracy, 1324 Damage)
Dual Melee weapons are a little different becauseweapon speed plays a
factor in the weapon’s damage rating making it seems like Drygores (Tier
90) are vastly better than Khopesh (Tier 92) if you don’tneed the added
accuracy.
Nymora and Avaryss are cheap weapons in this tier range and will last
you long enough to make the jump to Drygores. All of the Drygores
weapons are very cheap for the stats you get from them.
If you have access to player-owned ports, Tetsukatanas are nice to have,
but they are severely outclassed once you reach 90 Attack.
Superior Dragon weapons (Tier 70, 1486 Accuracy, 1285-1008 Damage)

38. Crystal Dagger (Tier 70, 1486 Accuracy, 1008 Damage)
Korasi's sword/Jessika's sword (Tier 75, 1694 Accuracy, 1389 Damage)
Chaotics (Tier 80, 1924 Accuracy, 1470 Damage)
Weapons without off-hand counterparts
Abyssal whip (Tier 70, 1486 Accuracy, 672 Damage)
Vine whip (Tier 75, 1694 Accuracy, 720 Damage)
Second-Age sword (Tier 80, 1924 Accuracy, 768 Damage)

39. Linza's hammer (Tier 80, 1924 Accuracy, 768 Damage)
Lava whip (Tier 85, 2178 Accuracy, 816 Damage)
Superior Vesta’s longsword (Tier 88, 2343 Accuracy, 1078 Damage)
Spears
There are 4 Spears to choosefrom if you want to start doing some
CorporealBeast bossing:
Zamorakian spear (Tier 75, 1694 Accuracy, 1676 Damage)
Chaotic spear (Tier 80, 1924 Accuracy, 1788 Damage)

40. Mizuyari (Tier 85, 2178 Accuracy, 1899 Damage)
Superior Vesta's spear (Tier 88, 2343 Accuracy, 1966 Damage)
Superior Vesta's spear is by far the best spear in the game, making it the
most effective option to use against the Corporeal Beast. The only
downside to using this spear is that it will eventually degrade to dust, but
it is still worth it for the added accuracy.
