June 21, 200818 yr Hia, i have a goal first of 85 in each of these, and i was thinking after that i would go for the defense cape, mainly because i love the look, and it not only helps for melee, like the others, but magic and range too. however, i love the look of the attack cape, and i know the strength 99 would be quite worthwhile. i want both opinions and evidence of why people chose what they did, either strength, defense, or attack. please nothing like "STR = PwNaGe" that doesnt help me. notable drops: 1 ARMADYL HILT, 7 armadyl chestplates, 6 armadyl plateskirts, 4 armadyl helmets, 5 bandos tassets, 5 bandos hilts, 6 bandos boots (one solo from minion, another from ls ftl...), 2 sara swords, 2 steam staves, over 25 shardsBarrows: 1 dragon med, 1 verac helm, 1 verac skirt, 1 verac flail, 1 karil top, 1 dh plate, 1 ahrim's top
June 21, 200818 yr Attack has a nice looking cape so and I prefer hitting a lot of low hits over one high hit. Get attack based on these reasons.

I'd actually prefer defence, so you can stay there longer, and you see attack and strength capes all the time, go defence. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~

You can stay just as long if you can kill the things before they can hit enough.
June 21, 200818 yr Author so you say that it is between def and att? no one for strength? funny :D all i ever hear is people saying get strength 99 it is the best of them all notable drops: 1 ARMADYL HILT, 7 armadyl chestplates, 6 armadyl plateskirts, 4 armadyl helmets, 5 bandos tassets, 5 bandos hilts, 6 bandos boots (one solo from minion, another from ls ftl...), 2 sara swords, 2 steam staves, over 25 shardsBarrows: 1 dragon med, 1 verac helm, 1 verac skirt, 1 verac flail, 1 karil top, 1 dh plate, 1 ahrim's top
June 21, 200818 yr Author but i dont want a balanced character. i wanna have one level 99 and the others level 85. notable drops: 1 ARMADYL HILT, 7 armadyl chestplates, 6 armadyl plateskirts, 4 armadyl helmets, 5 bandos tassets, 5 bandos hilts, 6 bandos boots (one solo from minion, another from ls ftl...), 2 sara swords, 2 steam staves, over 25 shardsBarrows: 1 dragon med, 1 verac helm, 1 verac skirt, 1 verac flail, 1 karil top, 1 dh plate, 1 ahrim's top
June 21, 200818 yr These are your options as I see them: 1. Attack, always hitting decently. 2. Strength, sometimes hitting high. 3. Defence, sometimes hitting decently. People always talk about staying at a place longer with defence, but really, how long does a bank trip take? I would definitely say attack, that's the first combat 99 I plan to get. I love to meet people; send me a pm if you see me on RuneScape! :)
June 21, 200818 yr i say strength because if you get your attack to 85 like you said then you will still be hitting fairly often but you will be hitting higher too Volleyball... THE BEST SPORT EVER!!!visage drop:22/06/08signature your as this use backwards this read to enough smart were you ifbarrows drops: none!dragon drops: skirt x3, med x1.
June 21, 200818 yr I kinda have the same problem too, im getting my stats up to 90 (str almost there!) then need to decide on something for 99 at this point its attack for these reasons: -i dont like people who think theyre better than eveyrone else cuz they have higher str -i can hit high enough already no need to hit higher -hate using d scim so ya do attack [hide=Stats][/hide]"One death is a tragedy.

June 21, 200818 yr Defence, Because you don't see it much. People can't hit you so much. old acc bk <3
June 21, 200818 yr 99 attack no doubt about it, It'll make it a lot easier training the 2 other skills later on.
June 21, 200818 yr I just got defense yesterday. I think it's the best choice by far. Especially for slayers.On task, I can negate all damage by just using a bunyip. And thats with a torso.(torso has low defense) Plus, the emote is arguably the best of the three. :thumbsup: Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide. Because of you all I will start rewriting it asap.[/color] Formerly RobinHoodie.
June 21, 200818 yr Author ty so far ppl, and btw, torso has higher slash defense than the rune plate, so it isn't horrible defense also, with whichever 99 after 85 in all, i will be level 85 slayer, as im going to slay all the way. which would be most beneficial for slayer and for abby demons from then on? notable drops: 1 ARMADYL HILT, 7 armadyl chestplates, 6 armadyl plateskirts, 4 armadyl helmets, 5 bandos tassets, 5 bandos hilts, 6 bandos boots (one solo from minion, another from ls ftl...), 2 sara swords, 2 steam staves, over 25 shardsBarrows: 1 dragon med, 1 verac helm, 1 verac skirt, 1 verac flail, 1 karil top, 1 dh plate, 1 ahrim's top
June 21, 200818 yr 99 attack for sure, it will make it easier to lvl strength and defense after. If you can get your hands on some guthans, defense aint a big deal. lost rights to my dark red text >:( 12/20/06 - QUEST CAPE OF ACHIEVEMENTBarrows sets: guthan, verac, dharok, maybe ahrim eventually <- lost to a hacker whole stole everything of worth from my bank
June 21, 200818 yr 99 Attack first. Lots if hits is always nice. :P Then 99 Defence, less getting hit is really helpful. And then 99 strength. Just my opinion. LIVERPOOL WILL WIN THE PREMIER LEAGUE THIS SEASON. [01:24:34] CJ Hunnicutt: it takes skill to be that [bleep]ing stupid
June 22, 200818 yr 99 Attack first. Lots if hits is always nice. :P Then 99 Defence, less getting hit is really helpful. And then 99 strength. Just my opinion. I think that's funny coming from a guy with 99 defence lol. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~
June 22, 200818 yr Author lol, i was just about to say that. im thinking 99 def first, because, as i said before, it is good for mage, melee, and range. i would also be an ok tanker for gwd so that would be nice to be wanted! lol : im also agreeing with robin, and i am gonna slay a lot. 99 att will come at abbys, as well as proly 90+ str, then do rest of str at gorillas ty for all of ur replies, continue if u wanna. ima go back to slayer c'est terrifique merci beaucoup notable drops: 1 ARMADYL HILT, 7 armadyl chestplates, 6 armadyl plateskirts, 4 armadyl helmets, 5 bandos tassets, 5 bandos hilts, 6 bandos boots (one solo from minion, another from ls ftl...), 2 sara swords, 2 steam staves, over 25 shardsBarrows: 1 dragon med, 1 verac helm, 1 verac skirt, 1 verac flail, 1 karil top, 1 dh plate, 1 ahrim's top
June 22, 200818 yr Defense, for the same reason you thought of it. It is effective in all areas of combat. Second would be attack because you hit more often and that would speed training/ fighting up faster than if you were to use strength. Just don't completely forget about strength though, because then attack is less effective. Its sort of a balance, although defense would win over both of em. :roll:
June 22, 200818 yr I would say defence, becuse i'm going for it... And then there's that saying, something about those who win the most fights are those who don't get hit
June 22, 200818 yr Well I'd say attack, because it'll speed up the training of strenght or defense. Well... it's just my opinion (and I think it's shared by many other people).
June 22, 200818 yr I chose defence as my first 99 (and currently only 99) because I like to be different. I also hate it when people judged others solely on their str lvl. I am pretty much making it my own personal goal to get every other combat to 99 before str just to prove to myself and a couple others that 99 str is NOT a must to make you a good character. Thats just my view. Ever since getting defence to 99 I have never looked back and never regretted it. Apparently, my signature was to big.
June 22, 200818 yr Author so far polls are Attack:9 people Defense:6 people Strength:1 person Controlled:1 person anyone else wanna stick in you evidence and what is best in your opinion? notable drops: 1 ARMADYL HILT, 7 armadyl chestplates, 6 armadyl plateskirts, 4 armadyl helmets, 5 bandos tassets, 5 bandos hilts, 6 bandos boots (one solo from minion, another from ls ftl...), 2 sara swords, 2 steam staves, over 25 shardsBarrows: 1 dragon med, 1 verac helm, 1 verac skirt, 1 verac flail, 1 karil top, 1 dh plate, 1 ahrim's top
