Well, the good thing is that you can use the 50% protection ability The bad thing is that every 8 prayer levels will raise your combat by 1 level. So level 43 prayer will give you an extra 5 or 6 levels and level 52, 6 or 7. Hope this helps. true but like if its f2p it wont be as good saying there's less stuff such if he has 1 def his best shield is a iron kite. if he has 43 prayer and member then he could get a unfilled prayer book even if he dies he can keep getting it back pretty good prayer bonus too =)
