I'm making a range pure and I was wondering if i should get 25 prayer or what i should get.

 

I just started so if you could tell me the stats i would need that would be sweet \

75+ range with 40 def. I wouldnt get prayer because 25 just doesnt seem like it would be much help but you can always get it if you want.

if u r going f2p which is wat i am assuming i think that u shouldnt bother with 25 prayer or even the enhancement ones. If u r going for 25 prayer then u might as well go for the enhancement ones but i am not a fan of it

 

 

 

best way to look at it is to simply make a pro and con list so heres mine

 

 

 

pros of prayer:

 

 

 

~Can save 1 item that is valuable even if u r skulled (only in pvp not necessarily in BH) :thumbup:

 

~enhancement prayers can give u an extra max hit for range. :thumbsup:

 

~if going all the way protection prayers r a big :thumbsup:

 

 

 

cons of prayer:

 

 

 

~ It can waste few, but very important combat levels

 

~ Yes it can save u a valuable but oh please ur only saving 60k at max (rune 2h). this isnt really too much and ruining ur combat level just so that u can save 60k isnt wat a true pker does. pkers take risks and if ur trying to save 60k when u die then just done bother pking

 

~ prayers does run out eventually and if its under 40 or so it wont last for more than 2 fights guaranteed.

 

~ switching prayers and conserving ur prayers and wat not can be annoying

 

~ recharging after litteraly every other fight in an alter is annoying and sometimes alters arnt always available.

 

~ Instead of getting prayer which kills combat levels and runs out u can just use those combat levels and get those range levels which would improve u just as much as those enhancement prayers and they r actually better because they are permanent.

 

~ doing protection prayers kill too much combat level and u will be called a noob forever and no clan will want u (just another pride thing).

 

 

 

all of these r a big :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

 

 

 

this is really my preference though. Some ppl who have prayer like it and it really works for them but this is really wat ive learned after getting prayer on one of my pures.

~ prayers does run out eventually and if its under 40 or so it wont last for more than 2 fights guaranteed. They really only last for 1 fight without potions which are P2P.

~ recharging after litteraly every other fight in an alter is annoying and sometimes alters arnt always available. Well in PVP worlds there are altars at pretty many places, 2 invvarock, in wild theres a few, in edge, in lumby. And every time you go in and out from bounty hunter you get full pray

 

~ Instead of getting prayer which kills combat levels and runs out u can just use those combat levels and get those range levels which would improve u just as much as those enhancement prayers and they r actually better because they are permanent. Yeah this is a good point

 

~ doing protection prayers kill too much combat level and u will be called a noob forever and no clan will want u (just another pride thing). Protection prayers can help a lot, for example in bh when youre on penalty, or when youre getting pjed in pvp worlds. You shouldnt be uding them during a fight, but only after the fight if someone pjs you. And there are almost no such clans, most clans are 1-52 prayer.

Ok... but right now my guy is lvl6... lol with 9 range and 10hp ftw \

 

All his stats are 3 except range(9) hp(10) and crafting and runecrafting(1)

If you already have 3 att, st, def and prayer, then forget it and start a new pure.

 

 

 

A F2P pure should stick with 1 def and 1 prayer until they are at least 77 range (preferably 91), or 40 attack, 70+ str (preferably 90+). Before then its a waste of combat levels as you can hit just as high at a lower combat level by training up your specific level instead. A slower way to train, sure - but thats the whole idea of a pure!

You obviously have no concept of ranged based combat. Once your range level is high enough, your combat can go ranged based if your melee's are low. With 3 attack, str and defence he is probably already ranged based, so that attack and strength does not effect his combat at all. With 99 range you could get 1-74 attack and strength in a day and as long as you didnt level hp or defence you would not gain a single combat level from those 146 att/str levels.

What I meant was that a 3 def and 3 prayer at such a low level will have a detrimental impact on a pure, so start anew.

 

 

 

As a 99 ranger and an ex 1 def pure, I do know a wee bit about range based pures :P

Chances are he isn't going to be pking at level 12 combat. Once he starts training it won't matter. Not all range pures are 1 defence, my current range pure is 20 defence so I will be able to use mystic, and initiate when I start melee.
