Help with protection prayers

[Doomdevil321]

Ok so currently my prayer is 52

 

 

 

My question is that if i have protect from melee one npcs can only hit me for 0?? or will they break through like players do at times?

[Death123141]

if you have protect from melee normal melee monsters can't damage you

[Doomdevil321]

so normal melee monsters would be like lesser demons, bandits, etc....? anything with just a pure melee attack?

 

 

 

cuz that dragon on dragon slayer quest hit me threw protect from melee with melee i think

[trevor92223]

No, he hit you through your protect from melee with the remnants of the dragonfire he spit out at ya.

he didn't hit through anything dragonfire isn't affected my melee its more magical and to be completely protected you need an anti-dragon fire shield and an anti-dragon fire potion

All Npc's will hit 0's on you if they are using a melee based attack and you are using Protect Melee, same for range based attacks and Protect Range, I believe Protect Prayers block 50% of the damage from players. Protect Mage work's like an anti-d sheild, I think

i don't get how protect from magic works cuz even if i got huge magic defense and protect from magic on i still get smacked pretty hard with it. Could anybody explain more on this

yes i think player damage is reduced by 40% or less and mage protect does protect against some of the dragonfire

Protect from Magic is a substitute for an Anti-Dragon Shield or Dragonfire Shield on all leather dragons except for the KBD. On all other dragons, it is ineffective.

Not strictly true. It works on metals but only reduces the damage. I use it in CT when I go past the bronze. Max he's hit me for is 29 and the message says "your prayers resist some of the dragonfire". So it is a little help.

Melee protect prayer protects 100% against any monster that is using melee on you - with Verac being the exception if you're doing barrows...... whereas if you did it on PVP or in Duel Arena it's only 50% effective.

 

 

 

the mage prayer will give you some protection from dragons, but tbh you'll want to use a anti-dragon shield and anti-fire pots if you want to make sure that no dragon breath hits you.
