Melee or Range?

Featured Replies

For a couple of weeks I've been trying to decided what form of combat I should focus on. 99 range, void, maybe some armadyl or 99 in melee stats, bandos, and some kind of gs. What do you think is better?

Void would be a good start if you get the body/legs and then you can get both the melee and range helmets or choose one at that point.

Combat 116+; Total 1900+; All Hard Tasks; (Nearly) All quest points; (Nearly) All skills 60+; An aquatic moose ninja.

Currently: Using 63 hunter to get some of those "Chins", then I'm going to range stuff down. Interruptions of agility when I feel like it, as well.

And lucky enough to get 4 Dragon and 6 Barrow Drops.

[hide]Kwimbob now looks exactly like me in real life except for hair color. Yes, this means I look exactly like the protagonist of that certain anime that my second character, Faye_V is also named after. Yes, I bought a jacket that also looks like his. No in real life I don't have a slain bear to sling over my shoulders. Yes, I'm that skinny even if I no-life it for years in basements. No, I can't shoot a gun. Yes, I can win any other strategic video game you have never played - because I probably have, ahahaha. And yes, I also have brown eyes, yet one of my eyes looks different from the other. And yes, I'm completely oblivious to the [real] world around me as I constantly engineer new solutions to daily problems in my head. When I get hungry, all that isn't food can wait. When I'm sleepy - nothing is of any priority in front of sleep. But at any other time, I never slow down. Never give up. Never Surrender. Makes for a good life.

def. def overall helps more from tanking, training range, slayer, training other melee skills, less money on food, in the end the cape looks better too

As good as it is, it doesn't necessarily solve everything because it can in many cases be replaced by Protection Prayers or safespots imo. Of course for boss hunting and more challenging monsters you will need defense so that you don't get hit as much by the multiple attack styles and all, so it is necessary for many of the most profitable and exciting forms of combat.

Range can be damn dangerous if you have it at the higher levels. Rune knives P++, good range armour, and decent defence can crush mages into the dirt and is pretty good against melee, but I'd mix it up honestly. Just training one and keeping the other low minimises your combat options. I'd go defence and range.

Melee, ranged is only really useful for getting the fire cape and killing Avansies.

 

HAHAHAH NO!
