I feel some items aren't getting the attention they deserve, and some are getting too much, thought I'd make a discussion.
Underrated:Saradomin swordIt's probably one of if not the best two handed weapon in the game. It's got the same attack speed as a whip and generally outdoes most other two handed melee weapons, at least against small foes. Many people belive it's outdone by whip + arcane, however this is not the case, in fact it's got 3 accuracy and 1 strength bonus over whip + arcane. It's also got 2 str bonus over whip + ddef. You do lose out on the defense bonuses, but in most PvM situation you don't really care about that. The special attack is rubbish, but for how cheap ss is it's definitely worth getting and using.
Spectral spirit shieldOne of the few hybrid items, with +8 accuracy, +59 def and +5 strength bonus in all stats it's a pretty solid item to bring pretty much everywhere. It's offensive stats for melee are very similar to a dfs. It's also got a hp boosting effect, it will boost your hp up to 110, which can be boosted up to 126 by using a brew. It's a very valuable item in PvP as it offers a lot of protection from rushers. It's definitely worth putting down 50m for.
Amulet of glory (t)It's basically a fury but better. It does lose -3 attack and str bonus compared to the best amulets for their style, but it's a fairly cheap alternative which you can use for all three styles. It also comes with a +18 defense bonus which those amulets do not have.
SeercullWhen elemental bow came out people were so hyped about it they forgot about a bow that has literally the same stats as the non-crystal version. At only slightly lower bonuses than zbow it does hold it's own due to it's special attack. This special attack lowers the stats of whatever is hit by it. It lowers the opponent's stats by 15%, even if it doesn't hit anything. This makes it a pretty valuable special attack.
Overrated:Dragon hastaEqual stats and speed to whip, loses the special attack and gains a str training attack style. I really don't know why it hasn't dropped significantly yet, plenty are in the game now and in most situations you should be using a whip. It's strength training style isn't too notable if you're wearing actual armour.
