Well I've noticed while barrowing that your defence level doesn't make to make a big difference. I watched a guy dressed in full veracs killing verac. He had 99 defence. I have 84 defence and was killing him using slayer dart, wearing guthans and a zammy book. Both times I was hit four times, each time for over 10hp damage. The first time I wasn't hurt once, second time I was hit twice, once for 8hp, once for 13hp. Now this could just be chance but I have also noticed this in other places. I mean verac ignores the defence given by your armour right? So logically if it's purely on defence levels shouldn't he get hit less then me? I thought defence didn't lower the enemies hit, it literally makes the enemy miss more. So why is a guy with 99(he had skillcape) defence, which takes a hell of a lot longer to get then 84 defence, gets hit more often then me on two occasions when it takes us a similiar amount of time to kill verac. Is it chance or is it 14 levels doesn't make much difference?
