pures = pointless?

[Ryuuka]

the meaning of a pure isn't to "own" people in rune or barrows or stuff like that... the meaning of a pure is to win in fights against people their own lvl with "lower" def(50-60) this is best seen in f2p pure witch in melee got about 40 attack(45 maybe) and then high str... if one of these go against some1 in mith or higher they simply can't hit very often, so what do they do?? they own the mages and ranges witch have low def.

 

 

 

if you want to make a pure in p2p the best answer is mage because of ancient(my point of view)

[nicrune007]

pures are pointful... they give me cash $$$ :lol:

[Overflow_C]

Pures are fun to make when you get bored of your main, more like a challenge.

[Made0f12une]

Pures have been pointless since Rs2 was released

 

 

 

Rs2 "combat triangle" ruined Pking and Dueling (Pures)

 

 

 

But of course, Rs2 is a differnt game, so Pking and Dueling must be differnt

[sirgudi]

again...i went pking.

 

 

 

got 4 g mauls and 7 rune scimmys, with the addition of 300 rune arrows and about 5 of blue+ dragon hide.

 

 

 

 

 

TANKS OWN PURES!

 

 

 

 

 

~~~Gudi~~~

[Ryuuka]

yeah but pures are meant to kill pures!!!

[honeo]

Pures = Pkers (not pointless.)

 

 

 

Saying pures are pointless is your personal opinion. Pures are used for pking and pking alone, not for skilling. It all depends on if you like to PK or not. I personally love to PK, so that's why I have a pure. I hate skilling, that's why I barely spend any time on my main.

 

 

 

It's all personally preference.

[Phisher]

Pures- when they pk you get iron/dhide. That's not much of a profit considering the sharks used. Unless you pk an idiot who doesn't protect whip/bring p pots you get nothing but useless iron and dhide.

 

 

 

Case closed.

i pk on my tank.

[RUNESCAPEfantasy]

the point is to be low lvled and hit higher that u normaly should i met a i think a lvl 49 he had 78 mage now that would own a normal mage

 

a lvl 30 pure range hit like 10+ non pure like 4+

 

 

 

its why they made to be power full in one skill so they low lvled but can hit higer than normal

[dangelo]

Pures are fun.

 

Tanks dont own imo

 

I have a level 72 tank. Someone hit 2-3 good specs..im dead

 

 

 

And someone who was talking about pures pc and drop trading....

 

 

 

Alot of us are still oldschool. No drop trade. No pc k?

[Infi]

pures are definitely useful.

 

Especially if you know how to use them well, if you really know how to manage a pure in such a way and with such an offense you could reach the point where you don't need your defense because your opponent is too busy getting owned to even attack you. So if you combine a pure with a nice mage lvl, preferably 94 to barrage, you will not need the defense at all, and you will be much stronger then other people of the same combat lvl.

 

Not to mention the way in which pures can get their opponents to die, if you hit constant 15's your opponent will eat and fight back and when h's low on food run or tele. But if you hit constant random numbers and then suddenly a 30 30 or a few 40+ specs, which can EASILY be done by a pure with over 80 strength, which is nothing really, then their opponent will not have time to eat nor tele and will fall over at their feet :)

 

 

 

So that's how pures DO own in several ways ;)

 

 

 

...Silver

 

 

 

 

 

yeah, you can still hit high with 60+ defence. its not like a curse to stop all hits 25+.

 

 

 

i constantly hit 26s with my whip and d scimmy in the duel arena.

 

 

 

against barrows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i would say pures are good until 70 combat, when the defence starts to kick in.

 

 

 

1 def pures are just easy to kill in my eyes, i hit 26/26 dds spec, thats with quite a bad strength bonus. so...with there 1 def + my 75 attack, with 4 chances to hit double 26...there as good as dead.

 

 

 

 

 

the first time i ever really members pked, i took d scimmy, full proselyte, dds...against a rune pure.

 

 

 

my dds specs were:

 

17-0

 

23-0

 

24-0

 

23-0

 

 

 

and his specs were mostly 0s, i think he hit one double 9.

 

 

 

 

 

~~~Gudi~~~

 

 

 

-.- Maybe if you fight pures your level? Plus, you are NOT going to bring all that stuff you use in the Duel Arena into the wild unless you are rich. And as to them not hitting through defence, they have ways around that. (Mage)

[Tim]

sometimes pures are usefull if they have a maxed out stat like 99 mage, and verse a rich player their level. personally i also think money comes into this, some pures can buy the most expensive gear, i myself am very poor lv 90 with a mere 700k. thus i cant buy all the fancy strong armor i need including barrows. and will admit i have been killed by a few pures with high levels, ie 70+ mage. its frustraiting being poor and a bad money maker.

[deciever2]

Pures are only good against other pures, unless they can keep a meleer from reaching them using ancients, ensnare, barriers etc.

[sirgudi]

I have a pure, it gets many pks, but only because of the combos, without them...its pathetic. i think pures live of useing tons of food and hitting hard, which they cant do if u 70+ def. get def, own pures.

 

 

 

 

 

~~~Gudi~~~

[Lee_Turrell]

Gudi, your refusal to accept other peoples points of view is shocking.

 

 

 

It is very much an each to their own thing, i have experimented with both and find i prefer larger hits, but a bigger suseptibility (sp?) to damage.

[fatbill]

freedom of choise?

[Dazzuh]

If you are thinking of making a Pure nowadays, don't bother there's too many around and there will always be many that are better than you.

 

 

 

Your main account will be more affective PK'ing.

[Gold_Tiger10]

Pures are useless and pointless. And pretty damn pathetic. :|

[ortiz9471]

Go fight somebody with 60 - 99 - 1 stats at just under 80 combat when you have 60 - 70 - 60 stats at just under 80, win, don't get koed by their 36s with d scim (which would take over half your health) and their double 35s (which would be over your max hp), then come back and tell me that they stink.

 

 

 

However, I do think that pures are horrible at high combat and under 70 combat so I would agree there : But I also agree that ANY mage pure is very bad and ALMOST all range pures are bad.

[aj926]

Rune pures are worthless.

 

 

 

My winning streak against 99 99 45 pures is enourmous. Yes, they hit 36s. But I know when to eat.

[dkjestrup]

when i had 60 att 56 def and str with full rune and a dlong i owned pures in duling arena including a range pure with 80 range. my dlong spec hit 23,18,24,21 and then my dlong went 13 and he was dead.... i didnt splash 1nce

[Guitarted7]

pures own to a point...at about lvl 70 - 80 cb, they start losing effectiveness

[Screechingmu]

Just because a few rune pure's cannot ko you because you "knowing when to eat", most likely eating as soon as you get hit a little bit, you instantly brand rune pures as worthless?

 

 

 

Rune Pures are not at all worthless, they are a very profitable way of pking, and very fun.

[t_h_i_z_z]

Pfft... My 60 50 45 owned all pures at my level... >.> "For Camelot!" Teehee... Full Rune + Excalibur spec in staking destroys all melee pures >.>.
