Should I train Defence?

Featured Replies

I haven't played runescape for about 6 months. My stats are as follows :

 

 

 

 

 

90 atk

 

 

 

95 str

 

 

 

70 def

 

 

 

52 prayer

 

 

 

90 hp

 

 

 

82 range

 

 

 

86 mage

 

 

 

I used to kick [wagon] pking but is it worth having 70 def still? Should I train it higher so I can go through things more simple? How should I train now? Im killing dustdevils (im 73 slayer) I have a firecape and whip d sheild and such that im using now. Please advice. O and what are santas worth now?

As you're asking for advice, you should be in the help and advice forum.

 

 

 

Oh, and it's please "advise", seeing as how advise is a verb.

id say it depends what u want to do - kill monsters barrows kq ect yes 80 deff would be gd but if u wana to stake or pk then stay 70 and get 99 att and str

I think defense rocks, so you have my vote for defense training. ;)

 

Besides that, I don't really have any good advice, except training to continue training slayer...

 

 

 

Oh and, don't forget, all questions go into help & advice. :wink:

if you get 75 defence, you can use the new shield, other than that, forget defence.

We tried using an abyssal whip to 'suggest' they work faster

wrong forum, but if you want pking or staking, no.

Santas are around 19-20mil. They seems to vary a lot.

Yes,higher the defense the better. Especially for KQING/DKING/BARROWS/SLAYER, etc.

I agree with most of the other people. Getting your defence up will help you out greatly in Barrows and at the Dag Kings. Along with all the other fun mini games like Castle Wars; they won't be able to hit you :P

Don't get defence up! You'll be sorry when you feel like pking again.. Just keep training at Dusties, go for that d chain :D

Nothing has happened to pking to make it worth getting over 70def. If you still like pking, keep it.

Not specifically for PK/Staking, but if you get a Draconic Visage, you may want to get 75 defence so you can use the shield that can shoot back.

 

 

 

Given the difficulty of getting the Visage and the price of getting the shield made if you don't have 90 smithing, it's not something you would risk lightly, though the dragonfire attack could prove decisive in a dual, especially if the opponent has no fire protection.

 

 

 

When fully charged, the Dragonfire shield is also the strongest shield in the game (at the moment) though it must absorb 50 dragonfire attacks to reach full charge.
