Any advice when going up against a :somewhat: experienced Pit? My friend mains him all the time and always managed to beat my Lucario (my fun main), and most times outdoes my serious main, Marth. I swear with Pits spammy moves and pretty much unlimited recovery moves (his upB), hes always a pain -.-

The Game. Favorite (and best imo) Rapper. Lil Wayne's alright. Although I hate people who swear he's the next Tupac or something. Always loved Jeezy, and some of T.I.'s older stuff.

Skylit Drive, Saosin, Thrice, Alexisonfire :thumbup: Not bad. Enough for me to check out it out atleast

..Or more likely kill him. Trust me, I've tried eating mostly McDonalds in order to gain weight, it doesn't work because of his metabolism. And on top of that the amount of health risks are paramount compared to the results.

:shock: Dude. You are EXACTLY my height, EXACTLY my weight! And I too have been looking for a way to put on a couple pounds (~10-15) Although I have a very high metabolism, so eating plain old junk food doesn't work for me (I'm guessing you have the same problem) I still haven't found a way to gain some weight a healthy way (I'm seriously more afraid of getting a heart attack or something from eating lots of junk food..) Instead I stopped over-eating, and started working out. A friend of mine told me that muscle weighs more than fat, I doubt its true, but I'm still going for it because it'll be worth it :) Good luck with your thread and getting advice, I know I'll be eyeing it carefully haha.

Also, I heard that with the graphics update to Jad, it might be easier to just pray mage all the time, and when you hear him stomp/recognize the stomp action, pray range, and swiftly bring it back to mage prayer. This is because apparently its harder now to notice Jad's mage attack before its too late. Dont take me up on this, I still have yet to try it out. But after seeing some videos it did look a lot easier.

...But he's alive :? I know I'd rather break both legs than crash into a building or something.

Okay okay, now we're getting somewhere :) I was about to say that if you think Tanks are 'overpowered' for their combat levels, then you could compare it to Range/2h'ers in low level crater bh being 'overpowered'. Its not that they are overpowered, its that they are the best type of pker for their level range. ...Although, I gotta say i do think a barrows pure would be a better match against a tank than a rune pure :-# So this rant should've been about Jagex's flaw in their Combat Calculator, not about tanks, since Tank pkers are merely an example of how the Combat System is flawed :| Okay, fine, two skills. But instead of Crossbow and Bow/knifes, I say it should be "Ranged Accuracy" and "Ranged Strength". The skills don't have to be called that, I'm just using it as an example. One would be for accuracy, and the other, obviously, for strength. So it would be equal to melee's stats. The problem with your idea, is that if I just trained the 'Crossbow' Skill, and max it out without training 'Bow/Knifes', I'd be at an even LOWER combat level than I am now. And I dont think that's what you want :-# I really doubt melee costs the most in the longrun, because at the most you'll need is a D Scimm/SS and a Whip for the best training results. You make it sound like Ranged is the only moneymaker ever :| With melee you can go do slayer, which will 9/10 pay for ANY expenses, for food, armour, etc, and when you're looking for experience you could go do Zombie Monkeys, or even Armoured Zombies. ..I dont understand what you meant about the Void/Torso :? Edit: Good point. And if we're talking about BH, even better. A maxed tank in BH is going to be surrounded by maxed meleer's and thus, stands no chance.

-@Comp Yes, but I really don't see it being overpowered :/ I understand if you said that a lv 99 range PURE with 1 def kept defeating lv 99 att/str PURES with 1 def, because then there is something wrong since both of their offensive stats are at their max, and their defensive ones are the same, and at their lowest. Or, even better, if you told me that a maxed melee combat player kept getting destroyed by a tank. Then I would whole-heartedly agree with you. But Zerker has 45 defence; that in itself is its downfall. It can't do damage to due the tanks higher defence, and it leaves it open to a lot more damage due to the Zerker's low defence. I see nothing wrong with that. -@Onlix You forget that melee has TWO offensive stats, attack and strength. Ranged and Maged only have one. Because of this, you get more combat levels since you have two different skills from which you can level up from. This isn't the Tank's fault, it's more Jagex's fault since its how they made the game.

Well, since I don't chin and tend to keep the money I make from aviansies, I wasn't thinking about that. But okay, 160k an hour for free using the avvy/chins combo. What you didn't mention is that you need 85 ranged to even begin thinking about chinning, and at that level rates are at their lowest. On top of that, you have to train your range up the conventional way just like everyone else until you hit 85, and I know for sure that melee training is faster than range training up until then. You said that you could get 99 ranged and def faster than you could get 99 str and att, did you take into consideration that ranged tanks max out their melee stats at about 74 each (148 total) At that rate, they'll be training to 99 defence at the pace of a level 90, without any increase to their accuracy/damage. And of course 99 ranged and def will do better than 99 att/str and 45 def, that's how it should be. 99 Ranged SHOULD rip through 45 defence, and 99 att/str should be at draw with the tank's 99 def. You might also want to keep in mind that a tanks defence bonus will be pretty high against melee attacks (a good tank would have about 250+ melee defence bonus) and equipped with barrows armor pieces (V skirt and Torag helm), while the Zerker, equipped in rune, would have a lot less ranged defence bonus compared to the Tank's melee defence bonuses. The Zerker's defence is lower, and his def bonuses are lower, so it obviously should make sense that the Tank can hit well on the Zerker.

*facepalm*.. You can't be serious. ... Are you complaining that the Zerker pure wouldn't hit on the range tank because oh, I don't know, the tank has FIFTY FOUR MORE def levels than the Zerker? I see nothing wrong with this. You choose to limit your def level, and thus, your def bonus's overall, so don't complain if you get shredded through. I pvp very often. I might not be maxed, but im working my way there. I get destroyed by anyone higher than lv 100 most of the time. And, stop exaggerating. Range is, tops, 300k ish exp with chins, and that's pushing it. Its more around 250k at 99 Ranged. Regular ranged training only scores you about 50-60k ranged exp. Range looks abreeze with transfering? Are you [bleep]ing kidding me? Ranged training is UNBELEVEABLY slow compared to melee, and the only fast way to train is with chins. And even then, you don't need hundreds of millions to get 99 ranged through chinning, but you need more than the avg scaper has (about 40 million ish) so it keeps it balanced. You wouldn't want everyone getting 250k ranged exp an hour, do you? 1 Def pures fail at levels 85+, due to other players being smart enough to know Def is a must at high levels. Sure, your little pure might own in the low level crater, but after that it becomes obsolete. On top of that, do you know how long it takes to get 99 defence with only 74 att/str? Or how much dragon e bolts cost? Most rangers bring only about 5 d bolts because of how much they cost. These things don't just grow on things, we have to WORK for it. It really irks the [cabbage] out of me when people create a topic without thinking. Go and try to make a Ranged Tank with those stats you've listed. Let me know how it works out for you.

Heard about it, apparently it was supposed to land in the airport right across the highway from my highschool in Teterboro, NJ, but the pilot didn't think he'd make it or something, so he went for the next best option: on the Hudson River. I also heard he missed the G.W. Bridge by like 900 feet, which really isn't a lot, I seriously wish I saw it. And also, it wasn't a "crash", it was more of a landing since the plane hit the water similar to how it would land in an airport. The plane remained in tact, and no one was hurt, which already tells you it wasn't much of a crash. Regardless, kudos to the Pilot.

^^To some of those above, the real lowest level an actual tank (by this, I mean ranged based) can have is 148 att/str combined. This means you can have 74 att and 74 str, 70 att and 78 str, whatever. But if it exceeds 148 you then become melee based (permanently, not even 99 range would make you ranged base) I would know since I do a bit of pking and I've met several other tanks. ;) On topic, yes void is worth it. Although I myself prefer Armadyl (and sometimes even black d'hide) I still have a set of void and its just nice to have around.

Um..to everyone picking apart at the other guys grammar, it's kind of obvious english isn't his first language. The "habla espanol?" and "stupid u noob" gives it away. In spanish the adjective goes behind the word it describes, so what he wanted to say was "estupido eres tu", was translated literally into "stupid u" Other than that, he shouldn't have gone around calling you a noob. And 46 rc isn't very brag-worthy :? But he reminds me of my cousin (who's also spanish) and he behaves the same way on rs :/ So next time just ignore, and move on with life : I'm not gonna lie, I avoid my cousin on rs for the reasons stated above.

This. Also, if you knew me, you'd know that it takes a HELL OF A LOT to piss me off. So if you ever did, you'd know that all hell's gone loose. ...Although if you knew me, you'd also know that I don't stay very mad for long.

1. 110+ (with summoning) 2. 1800+ 3. 80+ 4. 250+ Compared to some of the others, my opinion of high isn't very 'high' at all :( probably because I know it would take me forever to just reach my opinion of 'high', but once i did I'd be satisfied with it.

Looks like its gonna be a great year. Looking forward to the rearrangible spells, AND INCREASED AUTO LOGOUT TIMER :pray: :pray: :pray: =D> =D> =D>

Snare spell and Skillcapes at the very minimum. MAYBE wave spells since they're hardly used, and that's only if Jagex is feeling generous.

Yea, get 52. You'll never know when it'll come in handy, and its perfect for those AGS itemers :twisted:

I'd beg to differ. If it rarely activated, then it wouldn't be used as a potential KO in pvp worlds/BH. I'm not saying it activates ridiculously often like every other shot, but it activates often enough to put it to practical use. Might not even hit that high? Go fight a dragon without a dragon anti shield or dragon breath pots. It's dragon breath might not even hit high, so you don't need those. -- I honestly think Karils set is fine. At 70 range, you have two choices, black dhide which overs great all around defence for rangers, and Karils, which loses a bit of it's melee defences so that it can specialize in magic defence. They both have a 70 RANGE REQUIREMENT, so their range attack bonus SHOULD be equal. Now, one thing I'm not okay with is Karils special. If they managed to switch it with Torags (drain run energy) then I'd be perfectly happy, because it would be of greater use than just reducing agility level. Just my two cents.

Still about 2 hours and 17 minutes here in the east coast of the US. Happy New Years, hope you all have a good one :)

I'm going to have to disagree with everyone and say sc helm. (ONLY the helm) Bring 3-4 helms should last you an hour, and 2x the exp = 1.4m worth of chins, for the price of 700k. Unless you have that kinda money to throw around, I'd go with the sc helm.

Physics I'd have to say is the best. But I'm sort of biased, I'm only a sophmore so I haven't had Bio yet (My school offers physics as a class starting freshmen year, and bio junior year) I used to be in love with life, how things work, that sort of stuff and I was really interested in biology. But since I started taking physics earlier than bio, I guess its a tie for me. If you're good with maths I'd say go with physics. If you're interested in a medical career or something to that affect go with Bio or chem. Notice how I didn't mention chem in there? That's because the sciences in order from best to least goes like: PHYSICS > Biology > Chemistry (Aha, not really, but that's how it goes for me :thumbsup:) I don't really hate chem, more or less the teacher. :evil:

Bold is me. Also might wanna throw in: Carefree, easy going Soft-spoken At times, really apathetic Huge Rise Against fan Surround myself with the ghetto, gangster kids, yet some know I'm more of a rock person. That sums it up I'd say.

Thanks for the help everyone! :thumbup: Could you explain this a little bit more? I don't understand what you mean by 'if you're not already talking to her by the time you hit three'
