First off, P2P PvP is very random. Nearly everyone uses a different style of combat and armour. High levels usually use either melee (with Gs etc.) or acients. So to awsner your question, no. Moving on to levels. To be a high level range/2h you need at least 40 attack, 70 def, 43 pray and 90 ranged. I dont believe Range/2h is such a good combination. With a decent STR level you basically knock em out of the park, unless they have 80+ ranged which no1 in FTP really has. If you want to find out your CBT level and the effect level ups have, go to the special calculator section on the tip.it site. About mage. If you are a pure in FTP most people you will encounter will be pures as well. Most pures wear d' hide because of its good defence bonuses. This makes mage pretty useless because most people have a positive mage defence (+50 or something). In members however, (using ice burst and tele block) mage is very effective to any enemy. Defence tankers are not as usefull if you mostly solo. They are effective in a group because you can take all the hits of the enemies. Solo however, becomes very difficult. Hope this awnsers your questions. Feel free to ask if you got more questions :)
