Hello everyone,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am considering going for 99 attack while I keep my strength 73 and defence 70. Not doing this for any particular reasons. Just was thinking I wanted to get one of em up to 99 before the others. A quick look at the exp table makes me want to get it to 90. So I am thinking getting 90 attack then 90 Defense then 90 Strength...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you guys think? I am pretty happy with my max hit at the moment so that is why I am reluctant to increase strength. Plus I am only training on the edgeville slayer master assignments. So nothing too incredibly strong...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So if you had to pick either str, def, or att which one would you pick to train?

It really depends on what you use your combat for. I would say defence, because I'm getting into mage+defence staking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for you doing Slayer assignments, you're doing the right thing, leveling Attack.

It depends what you want to do with combat. For me I like to do barrows so I raise mage range and def alot more then the others. The def and mage also help with abyssal rcing.

So if you had to pick either str, def, or att which one would you pick to train?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

strength

It's what I'm doing, I'm currently 83/72/72 I'm kinda regretting it I don't really like it

Would you mind sharing with us why you are regretting it? Just isn't working for you? I have always been one of those types that raises each combat skill 10 and a time. So it is only during training periods that my str, att, def are not the same.

i found that attack isnt really seeming to help me. i see really no difference between 90 attack i have now and 80 i had before.

I think 99 attack should be your first 99 in any combat skill. It will speed up strength and defence training in the future.

Based on my limited experienced, Strength is really the way to go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got my Attack up higher than all my other skills, naively thinking I'd start hitting dramatically more often. Any improvement is rather negligible, and it's disheartening to see folks with combat levels 10-15 below mine hit almost as often, but much, much harder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's more, once you have big-league damage power, you can train Attack and Defense much faster (as you're doing more damage).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The arguments for high defense for runecrafting make sense, and I hadn't thought about that before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I'd known better, though, I'd have left Attack and Defense at 70, and worked entirely on Strength.

Different people keep saying contradictory things. How can we know?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I were you, Id raise defence. Unlike other skills, defence can be useful in other situations than combat ones.

Defence should come in for good reasons with no relation to combat. Next is magic and hp for obvious reasons

id say stop attack and start raising strength people have posted here and said its not worth it, so why should you waste ur time on something u might regret?

i'd say go for attack... thats what i'm doing.. of course i also hav 82 strength already so i hit well

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i'd say get 80 str then 80 attack then 75 def then go for 99 attack
