Defence noobs, are we noobs?

Featured Replies

I for one love defence, it can save money and gain you more training time.

 

 

 

The less you eat the less you spend, the less you eat the longer you train.

 

 

 

 

 

I see mostly pures, losers, and whiners complain when they cannot hit you, but i cant understand why. You manipulate your stats to increase your strength to hit harder and keep your combat low, why shouldnt i defend myself? If a 99 str pure was to fight a 99 defence pure wearing armor, defence would win, and the str pure would complain. So why is better strategy considered nooby to much of the runescape public?

we complain because we can with out any side effects. nature of the internet

I think people complain because they cant go the easy way out. Most 1 def are pkers and they only want to fight other 1 def people. Idk.

Almost EVERYTHING is considered "noobish", not matter what you do in runescape , always. Really.

 

 

 

 

 

And this kind of thread has been here already at least one time before, nothing more to discuss in my opinion.

They're racist, or skillsist... Most people are lazy, so of course they'll complain when they're being beaten by someone who isn't.

People are really just mad because they can't hit...

 

 

 

It's an idiotic way of venting anger. Don't pay attention to them; in fact, take it as a compliment. Having enough defense to block a person's attack frequently is a good thing.

 

 

 

Another thing: Hmm, defense, defence...

Lol i recently went from 50 to 70 def ( i say recently, i mean recently as in actual time spent on game, because it was a while ago now lol).

 

 

 

I think i was still 50 def at 94, +/- a level.

 

 

 

I used to fight people with higher def than me and they'd always call me a def noob if they couldnt hit, so I wouldnt worry, they dont tae the time to think, but if you are beating them, then you must be some cheating noob in some way or another.. i mean 99 def? that's just cheating :P.

 

 

 

I was 40 att 78 str and 30 def on rsc, back when str was everything.

 

 

 

I came on rs2 and went str8 in the wild with my r2h and went quite deep, got owned by someone 10 lvls below me with a more rounded character. Because all I hit was 0's.

 

 

 

High str is one thing but it doesnt work without equally high or higher att.

 

 

 

that's why since rs2 I have gotten 53att lvls and 40 def lvls, yet only 8 str lvls.

 

 

 

I only use this char for f2p pking, have another for p2p.

 

 

 

on f2p 99 str's at my level are target practice, they have low att and even lower def, ok when they hit they hit high, but i'm more likely to hit 2x20's in a row and KO than they are, cos they rarely hit twice in a row.

 

 

 

I've got heaps of 99 str kills and ave only died in the last 6 months once to a 99 str.

 

 

 

I die far more to 99def 99 range on f2p.

 

 

 

for f2p

 

 

 

att > str

 

 

 

def > str

 

 

 

str > equal stat chars (like 70-70-70)

 

 

 

str > str

 

 

 

if you can make sense of that :P

Defence noobs pfft just another label complaining pures use because they're lazy idiots who just want there popponenttolie down and die because "Ooh look me is a pure me owns ur mum!"

38% of Tip.Iters put stupid made up statistics in their sigs. If you are one of the 62% that don't, put this in your sig.

Lol.. Thats the main excuse.. Def is ftw *points at avatar*

 

 

 

And to the comment that Def noobs, pray noobs, safers, make the best monster hunters, yes true.

 

 

 

For PVP, safers and pray'ers are better to.. but apparently thats not honorable. and neither is Pj'ing. Pj'ing is a smart person's skill.. 'Oh, he just got out of a fight, he's skulled with 2 whips, and he has no food, I won't kill him for an easy 3m because I have some honor that some noob made up.'

the trick is to balance all of these methods to get 99 and either play real life or train another skill while farming.

 

635th to 99 Farming 12/16/07

Ah yes, I enjoy being defence noob. Is a great skill. :)

[spoiler=Stats:]Updated December 22, 2011:

 

Total level - 1442 - 170M+ XP , Combat level - 115

Combat skills: Attack - 90, Defence - 99 (24.45m+ XP), Strength - 90, Constitution - 99 (16.42M+ XP) Ranged - 99 (13.32M+ XP), Prayer - 60, Magic - 99 (13.25M+ XP)

Non-Combat skills: Cooking - 99 (13.80M+ XP), Woodcutting - 99 (31.95M+ XP), Fishing - 90, Firemaking - 99 (24.82M+), Crafting - 90, Smithing - 90, Mining - 85, Runecrafting - 60, Dungeoneering - 85

 

Who cares? I'm happy being 99 99 99. If you wanna stay 1 def and get owned by my 99 def, that's your problem :shame:

Oh well, get over it, it's words.

people work hard to gain a slight advantage and they freak out when you take that away even just slightly.

"def noobs", "pray noobs" and "safers" make the best monster hunters tbh :wink:

 

 

 

True.

 

 

 

My 96 def allows me to get away with wearing Proselyte/Verac combo against Bandos (yes, even when tanking). With my team of 4, I usually get away with only being hit 0-2 times while tanking.

 

 

 

On the other hand, a person on my team is 99/45/99/99, 106 combat, and only gets hit 3-4 times while tanking.

 

 

 

True, defense isn't worth it in the ratio of combat:fighting power. However, it is definitely useful, and shouldn't be neglected.

Defense is cool quite frankly they are just made cos they're high strength and low atk can't hit through 70 defense

I personally don't call anyone prayer noob or defence noob. I believe in having all skills rounded out to reasonable levels. But, I also believe that Jagex made this game to enjoy EVERY skill, not just send one skill through the roof. Why not throw in some attack and strength training with your defence? Just my opnion, don't flame me please O:) .

People just complain about it because they didn't realize that maybe they should just use a main and get ALL the skills lvled up for pk...and then they get their 99 strength pures owned by a guy with 99 defence and they freak out saying "defence noob" bla bla bla. What's next? "Food NOOB!"

Edit: NVM

BR BR BR? HUEHUEHEUEHUE

TL;DR

 

 

 

 

 

Was there a reason behind that post, or were you just spamming...

 

 

 

On-Topic: Defence noobs are FTW ::'

No "defence noobs" make perfect boss hunters after maxed out players, they are also awesome abyss rcers with magic. :wink:

Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

No, next is prayer noob. Food noob is down the line near attack noob.

 

 

 

Edit, just to clarify: I have been called ALL of these.

Into the wilderness, where all can see, no skiller bots to bleed my eyes, and danger at every turn!
