99 Attk or Def

[TeamRealT]

After 99 STR which i will get here in the next week im going to get 90 attk and def. Which should i train to 99 first attk or def? I think both capes look great and both are so very useful. Def would be awesome for training at Az's, boss hunting, and just generally eating less. Attack would make def go faster and be useful in training and boss hunting to. Which should i get first? I really cant decide as i like both of them very much.

I'd go for def, but that's just because I find def the best cb skill :D

attack, def is useless past 85

Attack. Makes training defence a bit faster, whilst higher defence won't help as much training attack to 99.

Yeah and ill have 90 in both before i start getting 99 so 90 def will still be pretty good.

Ok then mr "def is useless past 85" why not gimme a pm on here when you're on RS and see how useless my 99 def is against whatever stats you have?

I don't find anything useless about being able to tank things and take hardly any hits, however if you wish to show me how useless def is then go right ahead.

If you hadn't gathered by now from above in my opinion it would be defence. Defence allows you to get hit less and therefore you waste less money on supplies and stuff like that. Seeing as you're getting 99 str it'll probably be more advantageous to get def for things like armoured zombies and stuff..... at about 70 def i was having to use about 8 monkfish a run along with a yip..... at 92 def i could survive as long as i wanted to really..... half the time i didn't really need the

yip out.

 

At the end of the day it's only personal choice, it's up to you. I chose def for the challenge of the cape and the fact that in a sense it makes getting attack and strength easier to get...... just think about all the time spent eating on RS ;) I dare say everyone has missed alot of exp or killing a monster quicker if they have to eat.

 

Also please ignore my bias *hides def cape* ;p but tbf, it is one of the best combat stats to get to 99, and the cape looks awesome <3

It may be useful if you are farming monsters or for slayer.

But for end game boss... offensive stats is much more useful as boss will hit you no matter you have 110lv defence or only 80.

Just learnt my lesson from Nomad today. The faster you can kill a boss, the less damage you have to take, or you will be running out of supplies.

[Kiriyama]

Defence actually peaks around level 90, I believe.

 

If you're not getting 99, it's generally accepted that 90 is a useful level to have. In fact, 99/99/90 are near-optimal stats for Boss Hunting, where you are required to use melee.

 

In fact, discussing this with someone once, we agreed that if you don't plan on maxing melee, 90/99/90 is the best combo for all round play, with 99/99/90 being better, and 99/99/99 being optimal. However, this can change depending on what you wish to do but note that I said "all round" not "designed for a specific purpose".

[JBlighted]

I would take 99/99/90 over a 90/99/99 at any boss. I vote on attack.

[AlexDT]

Attack, definitely. Unless you want defense for reasons other than its combat usefulness.

My Personal Opinion is Defence by far. At 93 defence using the torso most of the time i dont hardly use much if any food even without the bunyip. Everyone knows the torso is HORRIBLE for defence stats and is only good for the strength bonus but even with its bad stats at 93 def i dont take very much if any damage.
