Hey guys I was wondering what are good melee stats (or required stats) to effectively kill blue dragons
Right now I'm 60 attack/strength but 52 defence I know I cant kill them right now but at what melee stats should I kill them easily ?

I'd personally recommend getting 70 Defence and buy a set of Torags (excluding the hammers) for cheap (just under 1M). 70 Attack also for using a whip (1.7M, give or take) for both the 1-handed option, as you will be using a anti-fire shield, as well as the obvious power and speed Your Strength… 70 will work just fine, anything above that means faster killing. Definitely 70 Agility is a huge benefit here, if you'd like to train your Agility I'd recommend taking a look at this script.

@Flight Thank you so much for the reply and I'm just curious I know I would need 70 agility for Taverly dungeon but im going to be fighting them in the Orge cave (Watchtower quest required) would I still need 70 agility ?
And as for the amour Torag is a barrows amour (obivisouly) and it will degrade and isn't it expensive to repair wouldn't rune amour do the job as decent as torag or what about granite amour ?

Oh ok, I've never fought the dragons in that area so the 70 Agility suggestion might not be required. Barrows armor is surprisingly cheap to repair and it lasts for a long time before you'll even need to have it repaired (8-10 hours?).

Thanks for help!

70+ def if you want it to be worth the time imo
