My new invention: the Counter-pure

Featured Replies

I've always heard people rant on and on about all kinds of pures.

 

 

 

Wether it was range pures, obby or granite maul pures, basicly any pure can be countered by it...

 

 

 

Now, before we counter pures, we first gotta know what makes a pure. usually these fellas have 1 defense and 1 prayer, and either a massivly high strength or range.

 

 

 

With the following stat requirements, you can now easily defeat those:

 

45 Farming, 52 Herblore, 58 Thieving, 59 Agility, 71 Woodcutting for the Grimtales quest. And 5 Smithing for making and being allowed to wield Hastae.

 

 

 

Now for the actual things to wield, you would only need:

 

40 Defense, 40 Attack, and 70 Range, but because you need a total of 130 combined Strength and Attack, you also need 90 strength for this pure, and if you gained it mostly via quests and Pestcontrol, I estimate your hitpoints no higher then 65. (Remember, no prayer at all!)

 

 

 

This would mean that you remained well under level 70 combat.

 

 

 

So without further ado, here is the list of equipment:

 

 

 

Dwarven Helm (Grim Tales quest)

 

Fury Amulet

 

Penance Torso

 

Black Dragonhide Legs

 

Rune Boots

 

Rune Hasta (With poison if possible)

 

Rune Defender

 

Obsidian Cape

 

Rune Gloves (you need 42 prayer to save Sir Amik Varze)

 

 

 

These are all 'doable' requirements, and will result in the following stats:

 

 

 

Stab attack: +74

 

Slash attack: +73

 

Crush attack +78

 

Magic attack: -44

 

Range attack: +30

 

 

 

Stab defense: +174

 

Slash defense: +192

 

Crush defense: +181

 

Magic defense: +48

 

Range defense: +142

 

 

 

Strength bonus: +69

 

Prayer bonus: +6

 

 

 

As you can see, these stats are pretty versatile, and allow for trading in your Rune Hasta for Runite Crossbow. You would then have about 10 points better Stab Slash Crush and Range defense, as well as have a Range attack bonus of +120, ripping through mages.

 

 

 

Both your range and melee attacks will hit 20s unpotted, pretty easily too, considering most pures have no defense or prayer to speak of. And if you use Emerald enchanted bolts as well as a poisoned Hasta, you might even see a green splash if he lives long enough :)

 

 

 

[EDIT]

 

This is a counterpure which will have roughly the same level as regular ones, meaning you can effectivly kill them in low level wildy, and even stake their levels :)

 

 

 

Some notes:

 

You can substitute any item you like, but I have found that this is what works best overall with the minimum level requirement...

That may not always be possible, because pures are usually made for low level wilderness...

I didn't think that dwarven helm was very good.

 

 

 

It does look cool though, sort of like praetorian helm.

lol, i played on rsc, started rs2 2 days ago

 

 

 

are prayer beasts any good anymore? if you know what one is like

Impressive... you going to make one now and see how it works?

I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.
So, what is 1.111... equal to?

10/9.

 

Please don't continue.

Looks good, but I would trade the Fury for a Glory ('cuz i'm cheap).

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

A tank is the anti pure.

pretty much. except for range pures. seems nothing really beats those.

Isn't the warrior/berserker helm alot better? Why not just use one of those?

 

 

 

Also, why take a fury into the wilderness on such an account?

Or, to make things easier on yourself, you can get 45+ or 70+ defence and wear your max bonuses. That pretty much counters any "pure"

would be funny about the jad and teleother thing, but you wouldnt be able to tele people and go into the caves for jad.

Pures are easy, they have no defense, just learn to use bind and run, and balance prayer, also get off your a** and switch weapons, they run out of food before you if you can believe it.

 

 

 

As for your builds, they seem like a really weak staking tanker which has been done before. Although runescape is one of the easiest MMO's to ever be created there is still a little strategy left.
