Rune Pure or Tanker?

[Morphiar]

Hello, I've been working on this pure for a little while. Was wondering whether to get 70att, 70 str, 99 def, 99 range. Or 60 att, 99 str, 45 def, 99 range. Give advice and suggestions on what I should do please. Btw, done all defence exp quests needed, including monkey madness.

 

 

 

Combat Level : 77

Well you have a good build right now, and I'm going to assume that you're 1 summoning so that it won't interfere with your CB level.

 

 

 

I have three potential setups for you, so here's Set-up #1:

 

 

87 Attack

 

87 Strength

 

99 Defence

 

99 HP

 

99 Magic

 

99 Range

 

52 Prayer

 

 

 

112 Combat

 

 

 

Although if you decide that you really want to be a tanker, I suggest you go with these stats in Set-up #2:

 

 

 

 

78 Attack

 

78 Strength

 

99 Defence

 

99 HP

 

99 Magic

 

99 Range

 

99 Prayer

 

 

 

112 Combat

 

 

 

This last set can be taken into consideration if you want a good balance between attack, strength and prayer, which is Set-up #3:

 

 

 

 

84 Attack

 

84 Strength

 

99 Defence

 

99 HP

 

99 Magic

 

99 Range

 

70 Prayer

 

 

 

112 Combat

 

 

 

In the first setup, you have all your stats maxed excluding attack, strength and prayer. That setup is good if you decide you want to try Range + DDS, or Barrage + DDS, it'll work because your attack and strength are at levels where it will make a DDS attack effective--although you won't have the benefits of Piety.

 

 

 

The second setup is purely for tankers: 99 defence, range, mage, HPand prayer - you're pretty much impenetrable to any forces that come your way. However there's no going back with this setup, a DDS attack won't even be as effective as per say a Magic Shortbow spec., so if you choose to go with this setup you should be positive that you want to stick with range and mage.'

 

 

 

The last setup is, in my opinion, the best choice to go with. The goals are reasonable, and all your stats will be effective. You'll have the benefits of Piety, meaning a DDS attack will be much more powerful than a DDS attack in setup 1 (even with pots), and you still have your defence maxed meaning it'll be extremely difficult for others to hit you. This setup is just so versatile, it allows you to switch between range, mage and melee without the worry of being too weak in a stat.

 

 

 

If I had to choose I'd say go for Set-up #3, the reasons are already above so there's no need for me to repeat myself here. Good luck with your pure, whatever you decide to do it'll turn out great.

another advantage is that with setup #3 you can set your attack style to defensive and never have to worry about leveling

Maintain a rune pure. It's probably more effective in my opinion.

id say stick with 45 def 60 attack and with str go to pest pest control and spend all points on hp,and keep mage and range up to there maximum so you effectively have your highest stat as hp and str meaning you hit hard

I'd reccomend 70 att 70 str 70 defence, 99 range 94 mage......Just own, simple tank.
