  1. Honestly don't get why pures get 99 attack.

     

    Bringing yourself up to barrow pure range doesn't seem all that smart.

     

    To help warring clans, and some just like a challenge.

     

    And "barrows pures" aren't that great at that level.

  2. Bladewing, why would you compare something like botting to racial discrimination? :blink:

     

    No seriously, I don't know how to respond to that.

    Point is that just because something is a law doesn't mean it SHOULD be a law.

     

    Bots SHOULD be against the rules though. Fail analogy.

  3. Well, im not level 80 myself, but from what ive seen, its a 1/10 chance of hit kind of thing.

     

    im 78, and hitting is fine - ranged is accurate enough - just leave the scimmy in the bank :P

    exactly, use ranged and mage for people with armor and you'll be fine.

    Pures still get their butts kicked when they're near maxed though.

     

    Depends on what you mean by maxed.

  4. I'm interested in buying a chaotic weapon for nothing but pking (I'm maxed in all those combat things). What should I get?

     

    Generally rapier owns CLS for pking, due to the opponent being able to eat twice inbetween each hit with CLS. But since everyone is going to be a defence neeb at your level you might need the added accuracy of CLS to actually hit.

  5.  

    He does, he's making a point that pures are stupid and it's better to just be balanced.

     

    level 60 with 50 def, who safes at 90% health and has melee prayer on constantly.

     

    Is this out deep? if so thats a dream come true.

    And pures are not stupid, balanced stats are terrible for pvp worlds/bh up untill your around 120+ combat. And even then at that point everyone has nearly equal stats. making it more of a money vs money fight.

     

    Pures limit themselves by sacrificing defence and are generally terrible at boss hunting,slaying, and other things balanced mains are good at.

    Mains limit themselves by sacrificing offensive stats and are terrible at bh/pvp.

    Excellent point, except pures are a result of defense being underpowered.

     

    If defense worked properly a level 40 balanced player should be equal to a level 40 pure.

     

    Good solution change defense to work as a mitigation skill (hits hit less hard at higher defense) rather then dodge and defense will be useful in low level as well as high level pvp.

    It would be a pretty balanced update , but the thing that sets pure pking apart from main pking is that there are so many different builds with many styles of fighting, and the fact that pure pking is based more on the fighting rather than risk. its the main reason people make pures.

     

    If defense were to be damage reducing it would be tanks vs more tanks vs more tanks, and that would get stale. If anything, such changes should be applied to constitution, as that's the direct counter to strength. Problem is, pures would be almost untouchable.

     

    Lets look at it this way

     

    Say average level 40 has a max hit of 60 (meleeing) and level 40 pure (str pure) has a max hit of 160.

     

    If defense was mitigation, the average level 40 would hit near constant 60's. While the str pure would hit 100's or 80's, he still has the ability to miss if his attack level is low however so they would be about even.

     

    Since both parties are going to be hitting fairly often it makes the fight a bit more interesting by having constant damage. However KO's would be pretty rare like this. But that allows Jagex to add in Super weapons, as it stands now theres too many things in near KO range. If Jagex changed defense we could have room for better weapons.

     

     

    Its the change that needs to be done, but it obviously would be very unpopular and change runescape as we know it. But its the only way to get rid of pures (to those against them), allow for combat skills to 120 (defense can handle the extra damage being delt), and have room to throw in new super weapons.

     

     

    I can tell you've never pked before. Pures are severely underpowered. You might have had a case in early 2005 for defence being underpowered, but not anymore.

  6. The combat triangle fails, if you want power, join everyone else with some sense, melee stuff.

     

    Actually, if you want reliable power, you choose Magic.

     

    Unless you want to kill a boss, then you choose melee.

     

    Range is just the defacto suck style in runescape.

     

    Then why do tank rangers own?

  7. Pretty sure that Steel titan's bonus applies to your defence level and not your gear bonuses. Every other modifier, such as black mask, void, salve, prayers, etc. all apply to your level and not to your gear, so I see no reason why this would be any different.

    It's gear bonuses.

    Realize that defence rolls are proportional to [Modified Level], [Gear Bonuses], and [Modified Level][Gear Bonuses].

    It's gear bonuses.

  8. Rapier would definately be my first choice but OP severely underestimates CLS.

     

    So you are saying that cls is better than rapier if you suck enough? Not the greatest advertisement for anyone to buy it, to be honest. And even by that logic, you will at some point suck little enough for rapier to be better and from then on, you've wasted 200k tokens. Also, as for most people the repair cost seems quite spicy(not that it is), most of the people who will be using these will not suck hard enough for cls to be better... So as a status report on this thread, can anyone think of places where the cls has a clear advantage over the rapier? because the opposite is true for a load of things. Only thing i can realistically think of is mithril dragons, as their defence is still a bit brisk(though i havn't tried with sup antifire yet).

     

    Alot of RS players have a thing called a life.
