Hi im new to runescape well not quite.. i use to play rs classic years ago and decided to make a return. Anyways i need help with my account i been playing for about 2 months so far and this is what i been doing.

 

 

 

First off my combat/skills:

 

 

 

COMBAT LEVEL: 49

 

 

 

40 att

 

1 def

 

61 str (28k till next level)

 

51 hp (10k till next level)

 

 

 

31 prayer (this is starting to bug me as a problem is there a perk for this level prayer? or should i have kept it at 1.., I'm thinking the extra strength bonus makes me hit higher versus having a higher strength lvl. or am i wrong?)

 

1 range (this will be trained until desired combat)

 

 

 

The reason why im asking for help is because i been training at minotaurs and people that are lower level keep calling me a noob, or that my strength is too low for my combat and my hitpoints are pretty low as well. im wondering if ill get owned trying to pk in pvp or bounty hunter.

 

 

 

Can these type of stats work??

 

 

 

Im not at my desired goal so im going to keep training im going to only work on my strength probably get it to 80 or whatever my strength is going to be at when my combat is 55, then start training on my range.

 

 

 

Please rate me, and give me any advice, once again im new to the new runescape as i was originally a f2p classic player. Im not quite sure how clan wars, bounty hunter, and pvp worlds work, and how i can have an advantage and really start owning and making profit from my combat stats.

 

 

 

If your in a clan i am very much interested in joining and contributing to the clan.

you're doing just fine.

 

altough i wouldnt have get prayer, BUT at a higher combat level it can be helpfull!

 

 

 

Try to train you str to about 80 just what you said

 

and your range just behind your strenght so you wont get an extra combat level!

 

(use the combat calculator on the tip.it site [site map --> combat calculator] to stay strenght based)

 

 

 

By training your range you'll automaticly gain alot of hp wich you'll need.

 

 

 

(I saw alot of str pures having 44 pray pown in f2p at a comabt level of 70~90)

 

 

 

Good luck!

 

 

 

(sorry my englisch isnt gramaticly correct)

You've got good stats, and as for your prayer, KEEP IT THAT WAY !! You'll understand the help of 15% str as your str goes up :D

I was an RSC pker but I never liked prayer. Without prayer you could have around 70 str and 55 or so hp at 49 combat. Its much better than having a +15% str bonus at 61 str.

 

 

 

I'm not saying you should start over but you should probably max your range at ~67 and hp. And use a range/2h combo. And remember pking is more talent than stats. So if you know what you are doing (rs2 might take a little getting used to) You will do fine.

Prayer was a must in classic because u could switch it on the last hit because basicly each fight consisted of rounds with each three hits. Eating during the fight couldn't be done so there was time enough to try stuff out with prayer without it drayning fast.

 

 

 

I think u made a small mistake getting prayer this soon. Imo u should get it once ur over 60cb.

About 2 years ago someone did some calculations for prayer. the 15% increase only evens out above 70 strenght. But if you already have the prayer, go straight up to 43. protection against PJers and the higher level lets you keep 15% on longer.

 

 

 

Apart from that your stats are fine, Hp is a little high. Meh

=D> =D> =D> Thank you all for the replys it was all very helpful. Man o man RS2 is a little more different from what im use to. But i find RS2 quite addicting :thumbsup: But all i have is classic experience... Anyways my recent trips into PvP world was quite exciting yet very intimidating. I managed to get a few kills this time but it all ended when i got pwned by lil gangs with 3-4 people all working together. Man i wish my team from classic was still around to PvP with, i feel so stupid in PvP everyone says im a safer whatever thats suppose to mean im so noob at this game right now but i use to pwn in classic.

 

 

 

if anyone can remember a popo jr, S W A T, T minus1, P O P O, from back in the day and still plays RS2 please give me a pm.

 

 

 

A couple questions how much effect did it do to me when i raised my prayer level early? Like you said prayer is a must in classic because of the 3 hit rule and running and so forth sooo my question is how can you use classic stats effectively in PvP worlds nowadays. any advice will be great

 

 

 

At Combat level 62 this is what im looking at which is going to be my goal. Any advice on these stats?

 

40 Att

 

2 def

 

81 str

 

76 hits

 

80 range

Looks good,

 

just hit with your scimitar and when your opponent gets low on health you swing out your rune 2h and Ko 'em

U can add me in game. My rs name is Ferveo

 

 

 

I'm a str pure cb lvl 54 with 74 str.

 

 

 

I transfered from classic too, i used to pk for hours there. The transition has also led to me making some faults. For example, i got 45 att. Anyways i plan on lvl soon and i'dd really like to have a good chat about classic.

 

 

 

cheers.

Hello feddycruger,

 

 

 

To answer your first question about prayer. Prayer is one of the most misunderstood and deciving stats for a pure character. It looks great on paper, but in reality are you actually making yourself stronger or weaker? Let's find out shall we?

 

 

 

Let's take for example your desired goal of 81strength at lvl 62. (I've actually changed this to 82strength because you are not maxed with your desired stats, you would also be 77hit points)

 

 

 

With R2h, strength amulet and strength potion you will be maxing:

 

Without Prayer; 24s

 

With Prayer; 27s

 

 

 

Initally you would be thinking, great! I can potentially be hitting 3 more damage points. Prayer rules! But what will you be really losing?

 

 

 

Firstly, Without 31prayer, you would automatically drop 3 combat levels. To even it back up to level 62 you would gain 7strength levels and bring your total strength to 89.

 

 

 

Well do the 7 strength levels work out better then 31prayer? let's see.

 

 

 

With R2h, Strength amulet and strength potion you will be maxing: 26s

 

 

 

Now as you can see that's only 1 less damage point then 31prayer.

 

 

 

What do you gain? 6ranged levels, 7strength levels, and 7hit points, +2 more damage to ranged.

 

What do you lose? The ability to protect your r2h and 1 extra max hit with mele

 

 

 

In my opinion? Having no prayer is a lot better then prayer at 40attack. As you get higher attack and stronger weapons with specials, the prayer dramatically increases your damage. But as a r2h pure, prayer is a lot worse. Since the majority of your time should be spent ranging/rooting and only pulling out your r2h to KO with. The increase of 7 hitpoints and 6 ranged levels are far to valuable then only ONE extra point in mele combat.

 

 

 

The stats without prayer would look something like this.

 

level62.

 

40attack

 

1defense

 

89strength

 

83hit points

 

86ranged

 

85magic(lvling with alching)

 

 

 

I also have two questions,

 

Are you 2defence? or are you planning to get 2defence? if so why?

 

And why have you not maxed your desired stats right out at lvl62?

 

p.s your hp would be 77 not 76 with your calculations. Maby typo?

 

 

 

My advice? Start a new pure with 1prayer. Level 61str or so is only 270k exp, and can easily be caught upto in a few days. Once you get higher, it will be very difficult to start again.

 

 

 

Hope this helped you to clear up some questions about your stat build :) all the best,

 

 

 

Imitate X

I suggest restart without prayer as prayer will only hinder you...you do have a higher max with prayer, however your hp would be less and your prayer would run out making you weak. In addition, I and many others find turning prayer on and off very bothersome and distracting to eating.

 

 

 

Oh btw, I wouldn't mind what anyone would say about safing, which is the practice of eating "too" much food and not letting your health go low. In my opinion, safing is just a way for noob pkers to justify the fact that they could not kill you. 90% of people who call you safers would safe themselves. They would sometime wait for you to safe FIRST, then they would say something like "you safe, I safe" :D

 

So my advice, just let them know that you are the "man" and therefore you deserve to eat before the others.

 

 

 

Good luck with everything!
