Zerker or range-tank?

[Reded]

Hey all :)

 

 

 

I think my title speaks for itself, but I'll elaborate.

 

 

 

Recently, I took members off my main for a while, I'm waiting until I get a new computer. In the meantime I've managed to recover the password of a long-lost account that is older than the main, and I've been playing on that in freeplay worlds, mostly because I didn't do any 'careful planning' such as leaving a bank-slot with things in it that I could collect during my time in freeplay (Such as logs and ores :P)

 

 

 

So, I'm having a bit of fun with this account, and I sort of want to turn it into a PKer, as my main-stats have always been far too evened out to PK very well. It's too late to turn the noob into a 1-def hybrid (I did DragonSlayer :P) So I looked around, and found the two options for 'PKers with defence' seem to be either a ranger, or a Zerker. I've looked into it pretty intensely and I COULD Turn it into a fully-functioning Zerker-PKer and land on 45 defence nicely after the huge amount of questing.

 

 

 

Now, the two are both very good choices of PvPer, from what I've picked up, and both seem like lots of fun to train. I'm an avid quester, and I'd absolutely love to do the boss of Recipe For Disaster again, which I believe is a must for a successful Zerker. However, I love to range just as much as I do melee, so the ranger is a good choice in that department.

 

 

 

So what do you all think? Zerker or Ranger? What shall I do with my newly-discovered account? :)

 

 

 

Thanks for any posts!

stats are good just change it to 99 magic and 99 prayer to be a master of runescape.

Errr... The stats in my sig have nothing to do with this post, thanks though :)

Congratulations on 99 Slayer and OMGWTF at 96 Summoning.

 

 

 

I'd say go for the zerker, as you've already screwed up Def : :ohnoes: But, I hate using range, so yeah.....

Berserkers are pretty cool and don't lose too much on death (they can, but don't have to)

 

 

 

Maxed berserkers are within range of maxed 1 def pures, so they can rip them a new one.

Zerkers are better than range tanks because they have more variety.

range tanks are better

 

says a maxed level100 runepure

This will cause a fail of epic perportions.

 

 

 

Instead, I'd go Zerker. They are very dominant in P2P, and are all round pures. They can pretty much take out any other pure. The main disadvantage of Range tanks is that the fair badly against some other pures(Zerker, Range/2h). Another good reason is that Zerkers can evolve into Barrows pures.
