    Default What RS aura should I buy?

    I just recently got enough loyalty points to buy "Aegis".

    Before I buy it, since it's so much, I was going to see what peoples opinions were.

    Most the aura's are to train stats, mostly that I have 99 in, so I don't want to spend a ton on an aura that I only have a use for until that stat is done.

    Aegis provides like a 30% damage shield for half an hour or something and people say they love it for bossing.

    Should I get it or not? opinions ?

    Im saving to get one of the three wing types. I want tier 4...
    I dont think Aegis is worth it.
    Its so expensive and lasts for so little time. Takes forever to cooldown.

    I like those cosmetic wings and cannot wait till I have enough.
    Names are useless, in my opinion as I have a really cool short short name, that will be ruined by adding some *arp like "the real" or "king" or whatever.

    I also wouldnt waste on any of those that boost skilling.
    So Id say, go for cosmetic.

    Just my opinion.

    Reverence is really useful, and with the amount of points that you have saved it could be upgraded to even further its usefulness.
    Also i found this video very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wxYka_c9y8

    Reverance and Vampyrism are two of the most useful auras I have bought, when I get enough points I am going to be getting Penance.

    EDIT: Jack of Trades is also extremely useful for that pesky slayer that no one likes to train.

    see, since your a PVM type, you guys usually get all these bonus aura's, but since i'm more into skilling/minigames, i usually get emotes.

    Thanks for all the replies everyone.

    In response to most of you guys

    -I don't want any titles, as I also have a very nice name I like and would be ruined by a goofy title
    -I don't want any emotes... I want something useful.

    -I will be a maxed main soon , and a have a ton of 99s so i don't really want the xp helping ones like five finger discount ect.

    -Since I want something more useful and not cosmetic, The wings aren't for me. (although they are tempting because they are so fucking sick looking lol, but I still want something more useful for PVM)


    I'm kind of torn between that, and like surpreme sharpshooter to help me during PVM and stuff like that - but even then Aegis would be helpful.. but it's shorter and a longer cool down.

    Suggestions?

    Sharpshooter and Runic Accuracy are very good auras. Equilibrium is probably the best non boss PvM aura. I also highly recommend Greenfingers if you are doing herb runs.

    Ughhhh i'm sooo torn!

    Right now I think these are my final options.

    1. Aegis.

    2. Supreme sharpshooter (For bossing, slayer, and fight kiln) and keep saving up the rest for if I decide I do want Aegis later, or if something better comes out.

    Also.. On runewiki it says Aegis is a 4 tier, but when you log into the loyalty program for RS, it shows that it is a 3 tier? anyone know whats up o.o?

    I would definately go for Aegis considering the effects will greatly benefit you when PvMing. Considering you will be maxed soon I think it is the best aura to choose.

    ^^ Vampyrism is a must for almost anything, because it heals you, you can use it for killing monsters, boss fighting, completing kiln, etc...

    I've got it and its worth every penny (well loyalty point)!
    BOT TILL YOU DROP!

    You do have a point.. I just feel weird buying it because it's only tier 2. I suppose I could buy it and keep saving. I pretty much have enough to buy that AND Aegis. but I think I'll buy Vampyrism and then just keep saving the rest until a really cool aura comes out .

    Thanks everyone!

    Oh goodness please don't buy Aegis. It's really overpriced.

    It's nice that it blocks 10% of damage, but there is a limit. So it will not last for the full 30 minutes if you're at a boss. It will last more like 10.

    Penance, Greater Sharpshooter, Greater Reverance, Jack of Trades and Vampyrism are the auras I have and they're all good.

    Penace for PVM/PVP (In fights with SS/Smite to prevent dropping to 0 prayer)
    Reverance for PVM/Slayer/General Combat
    Greater Sharpshooter for PVM(Kree'ara/Nex)/Range training
    Jack of Trades for easy xp everyday
    Vampyrism for PVM(Best for situations where you don't have access to Soul Split)/PVP

    Plus Aegis is only 10% damage absorb, if you have the money, a divine is much better and will save you loyalty points which you must wait for in contrast to money, which you can get anytime.

    Forgot to mention: Penance is probably the best aura for bossing, it saves you a ridiculous amount of prayer, which saves you inventory space for brews/food.
    My goal to max cape #2:Here. Check it out
