I've been told I should do Barrows, and so I've began doing it. Should I plan on replacing my rune as my melee armor with barrows armor? If so, which?
The people online seem to only agree that Dharok is niche, not much else. Is rune going to remain my best balanced melee armor until later?

Efficiently Barrows is not really done but its quite fun (imo) and some effects are niche (Dharok and Verac flail nice for Cas)
Melee Tank legs are better than rune def whise but def isnt really valuable.

Gotcha. Thanks! I guess gunning for raids is my best choice then?

Depends on your gear but probably not. Its difficult to give advise tho when we dont know your gear/stats
steel niche
Oh, fair enough. My gear is- below average. One moment. 🙂 I've been trying to get my SOTE reqs out of the way as a goal.

Send a screenshot of gear and stats and I can try to help more
steel niche
Awesome. One sec.
Gear is usually something like this (for melee)
I know I need fighter torso 😅
zenith fossil
Fighter torso looks like an easy upgrade. Is that Bring imbued?
steel niche
Not yet! I was actually planning on doing that today since I finally discovered how easy it is at the PVP Arena.
I guess I'll focus on those two things for now.

For melee your easiest upgrades are imbueing that ring, fighter torso and piety.

Amulet of str is typically better as well

Fair enough @wraith meadow , I tend to check if it increases my max hit.
In this gear it does not 😦
Oh. It does now. Nvm.
It was 24 with and 24 without before.

You are also quite close to Song of the Elves stats (like you said yourself already) so Cg looks like your next big goal. I would get ur range up a bit before doing CG tho.
steel niche
Sounds like a plan. What you think I should aim for range wise? I've been doing some range slayer recently actually for that purpose.

Generally its recommended to catch and hunt chins till like 92 I believe. Range slayer makes the skill very slow so generally not recommended to do but if you like to do it go ahead.
steel niche
Oh. I've never tried that. 👀 I'll look into how to do that!
I've done bursting for magic, but never chinning for range.
zenith fossil
Its basically the same except if you die you lose all ur chins

Imbue your b ring if you haven’t already, that’s a huge upgrade.

barrows armour isn't exactly very useful (defense stats are much weaker in this game than offense) so it's generally efficient to postpone barrows until you have most the upgrades that would make quickest to grind

Since nobody's linked it yet and not sure if you've seen it, but there's a gear progression here that you can peek at and see if there's anything you've missed (others have called out most of them): #ironman-discussion message
in general tho barrows isn't needed anymore since you rush SOTE for a bowfa at CG, and then later get Bandos chest/tassets using the bowfa, which has STR bonus (like torso) unlike barrows armor
