Divine Or Ely? Why?

I'd say divine. It's much better when you think of efficiency.

 

Divine- Gwd, TDs
Ely- Gwd, TDs, DKS

I prefer the new dung shields over the overpriced shields.

 

The dung shields only block 10% of melee attacks over 200. Seems to me that getting 80 dung isn't worth it for such a small absorption. I'd much rather get a Chaotic rapier.

Elys and Divines absorb a lot more. They are overpriced... but it seems to me they are overpriced for a reason.

 

Divine if you have a high prayer level and can afford the prayer pots.
Ely if you are short on cash.

 

Pros: Looks. That about sums it up.

Cons: Price, price, price, price and price.

 

True.

What if I want to solo bandos? Ely work well?
