First time F2P - PvP'er (Advice anyone?)

Featured Replies

Hi, I'm attempting to create a F2P -> PvP character

 

 

 

The type of character I'd like to make is a well rounded melee character.

 

 

 

Restrictions - I'd like to maintain a Defense level of 1.

 

 

 

My current stats are - 40 Attk, 52 Str, 1 Defense, 44 HP - Combat 40.

 

 

 

I'm also lvl 1 in virtually every other skill, what do you guys think I should build on / or aim for to have a well accomplished F2P PvP'er?

Well 43pray would help for when you reach 60cb so those nasty pjers wont own you

PJ'er?

 

 

 

Would you guys recommend getting a high enough magic level so i could cast Bind? :S

 

 

 

No point in NOT getting a high enough magic level.

 

 

 

At one defense with a pure melee you might get owned, I'd build 40 defense after you get 70 strength.

Those two statements contradict each other.

I have a 40 70 1 who does OK, (prayer is 13).

 

 

 

Range/2h combo could be an option to look in to.

First off, no need to flame my topic... No they do not.

 

 

 

Well rounded was referring to Melee / Ranged / Magic / Prayer, ect.

Well-rounded melee = even melee stats...just saying....

 

 

 

OT: In the "new" PVP environment, defense is a must.

No, defence isnt a must. Pure vs Pure fights are still cool. If you get def, you will gain extra combat levels, and with those combat levels, other pures will own you. Btw, in f2p, even after you get def, all your gonna do is no armour fights, so why get def?

Just you wait untill you get 105 combat... 1 def will get you owned by piety clawers, barrows pures, range/mage tanks.

Read the topic title: F2P - PvP'er

 

 

 

As for my advice:

 

 

 

I'm playing a 1 def str pure (f2p) which i'm starting to build stronger incorporating mage and range.

 

 

 

I'm 45 att with 86str and 76hp at cb 66.

 

Currently i'm getting 80 range and 85 mage.

 

 

 

Def, IMHO, will ruin your pure if u stay f2p for 3 reasons.

 

 

 

1 - no other 'pure' without def is going to want to fight u because he won't hit your armor

 

2 - the people who will fight u probably also have def and you'll have a boring fight with nothing but 0's

 

3 - your KO-power is practicly non existant, meaning a 1 def pure your combat lvl will have a much higher max hit

 

 

 

And to conclude i also second Allisgreat his reply. So stick with your 1 def idea and don't get mislead by defnoobs :)

I'm with Mike on this one, this is a contradiction even after your clarification. A pure is the opposite of a well rounded character. This is not flaming, just arguying.

If you're looking for quick, clean fun I would personally stick with being a 1 defence pure.
