3 hit system was the reason for high str before rs2 i had one of the first "prayer beasts" around.. we'd run around with low def; high att, but mostly high high str and high ranged (didnt affect combat) in monk robes with r2hs and ruby ammys, we didnt usually get a '3 hit' per say, but what we would do is chase the other person after they retreated from the 3 hits and begin another 3 hit session, they eat while they run, of course, and if we could catch them before they ate enough, we could KO them in atleast 3 hits; after rs2 came out, all was lost ;p i still have my pure "laneispure" but i have lost his pass!! oh well.
