I believe it all really depends on what your going for. My pure at the moment is Attack-40, Strength-50, Defence-1, Range-40, Magic-1, Hp-44 Combat 40. I like the approach of keeping melee as my main combat type and training range and mage for the extra hp levels. However of course if you want to keep a lower combat, train mage using spells like curse, as doomster said, as this will not give you hp exp. It also holds true that raising magic and range on the side increases your defence for each ability, and this is especially useful if your not gaining combat levels. :arrow: I personally prefer the extra hp compensating with a few extra combat levels :) Also, if you are F2P i wouldn't be getting prayer; it's just not worth it at lower levels, especially without prayer pots and the like. Hope i helped a bit... :oops:
