October 31, 200817 yr Here is what I deem melee combat "priorities" 1. All melee stats 70. This is going let you use the best "standard" gear. 2. SLAYER! I started earlier than all stats 70 but do all you're training via slayer. Don't mess about with Amoured Zombies and all that jazz, slay, slay and slay some more. 3. Train in groups of 5 levels. Order is up to you but I suggest strength, attack then defense. Once defense is 90 you don't need to worry about it. As for weapons, whip and sara sword are the best although dragon scimmy will work also. Except no substitutes. As for training controlled, I wouldn't bother as like I said defense isn't as important after 90. i'd rather have the attack and strength higher first. At the cost of 5 Strength and 19 Slash? What 5 strength and 19 slash? Rune Defender.

Im also getting 85 mage and 80 range.

Speed they are same, XP wise whip/def wins but you cannot train strength with whip so SS becomes best choice. Trust the Gene Genie!

Speed they are same, XP wise whip/def wins but you cannot train strength with whip so SS becomes best choice. Kent's point was the whip/defender on controlled was better because you don't have to use the SS. I kinda doubt that though, maxing att/str first before training defence should speed up training more than +5 str + 19 slash.
October 31, 200817 yr Ya cus controlled isnt really ftw.. takes too long whip on control will get u 99 att def and str faster then whip for att and def+d scimmy for str
October 31, 200817 yr Author i dont have the time or patience for 99 of each lol i just want to keep 70 attk get 70 def and 85 str...
October 31, 200817 yr Also, let's say you gain 15 Strength levels. (70-85) You do know that you will gain 7 Attack, Strength, and Defense levels, right? So that's 7 Attack, 7 Defense, 7 Strength, 5 Strength bonus, 19 Slash vs 15 Strength. [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]
October 31, 200817 yr true ur max hit does not change because ur using a different style, but u hit a less with defense, so defense is slower to lv WRONG! Each style adds +3 to the skill it is training (Controlled is +1 to all 3). Defense hits no less than Strength. Yeesh. OH S***! He/she/it is back!

November 1, 200817 yr but i dont want 77 attk? or 72 def Why would you possibly not? [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]
November 1, 200817 yr but i dont want 77 attk? or 72 def Why would you possibly not? He wants to pvp, ie. become a barrows pure. I went through the same phase 2 years ago, then I relialized that pvp was not the way to make money and I trained attack and defence. :D
November 1, 200817 yr Is there even a need to be a pure in PvP worlds? I'm 133 and I fight people lv 80- IIRC. [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]
November 1, 200817 yr If you don't want to train controlled, then Sara sword is your best option. If you can't afford that, use an obsidian sword with the berserker necklace. If you are really poor do mm. [hide=Stats][/hide]"One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic."-Joseph Stalin
November 1, 200817 yr Mm is super easy.... Just do that. True, but the D scim is rubbish. [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]
November 1, 200817 yr Controlled is OK to 70's, after that defence become less important and which controlled pretty much obsolete. Currently my stats are a reasonable example of this. My defence is 90, where attack and strength are on there way to/99. Do I get often? - No If I get hit can I heal myself - Yes All extra defence means to me is a little less for my Bunyip to do and the odd extra use of Guthans. Whereas extra attack and strength levels mean higher and more accurate hits. Much more useful. So with that argument out the way, controlled isn't all it's cracked up to be at higher levels. Which means you need to train attack, strength and defence separately. Whip/Def is obviously the best for attack and defence which leaves strength. The best option is a Sara Sword as it is as fast as whip and only slightly less accurate due to lack of defender. God Swords also work, Bandos being the cheapest, but they hit slower, although higher than the Sara Sword. The other serious option is the dragon scimmy, but like Kent said, these days it's outclassed by the GWD equipment. So my advice in summary. 1. Don't fart about being a pure 2. Train via slayer 3. Controlled until all stats 70 4. Attack / Defence with whip/def, strength with Sara Sword. (by now if you've done a lot of slayer you'll have the cash for the sword, and its worth every penny) Trust the Gene Genie!
November 1, 200817 yr either comlpete mm and get a d scimm or buy a obby sword and a berzerker necklace, best str exp in game.

Add R Defender, and controlled is what it's cracked up to be. [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]
November 1, 200817 yr Author either comlpete mm and get a d scimm or buy a obby sword and a berzerker necklace, best str exp in game.
