How does it work? I am going for 89 Att, 99Str, 70 Att. I have 40 range and I was wondering if I should raise my range to 50 or 60 for dhide armor, or will that effect my combat level enough to not make it worth doing. I want to keep combat low for future pking. what does everyone think? Thanks

Range wont effect your combat unless this is true:

 

Range(1.5)>Attack+Strength

 

Same goes for mage.

right now I have 70Att, 80Str, 70Att, 40 range, 74 Mage

Raise it, you'll pretty much stay combat based I think unless you like max out range.

 

 

 

Don't be scared of the HP exp as that's what it sounds like to me, with the prayer updates and the higher hitting range specs, PC products = fail, soak up that hp exp.

I am worried about overall combat because I heard that I should keep it low for pking, and that 89 Att, 99 Str, 70 Def would own. I am not sure though. I would like to get range to 50 or 60 for d hide armor, especially for runecrafting at the new altar.

This handy calculator tells you what levels you need to go up a combat.

Black hides are ESSENTIAL items, you'll want it.

 

 

 

Also, look at my stats 91-95-71

 

 

 

I'm pretty much what you're aiming for.

 

 

 

I can tell you low HP pking isn't good for barrows pures. Low HPers are usually blitz-specers and stuff along those lines, who go for high quick hits.

 

 

 

Trust me, you're going to want that HP when you're PKing with those stats, you're likely going to venture into DH/barrows legs pking and you're going to feel really stupid when you're at 3/4 an HP bar, nearly safing and a spec of a 50 from a god swords kills ya.

 

 

 

Seriously, don't let HP scare ya, don't fight it, don't try and regulate it for higher att/str, just let it be a natural part of your leveling.
