Measuring my combat skills

[Tainaith]

Alright, for a very long time, I've prided myself on having identical melee combat stats (Attack,Strength,Defense,Hitpoints,Prayer), but with my recent leveling, and Mage and Ranged following suit, I have been wondering what an ideal balance for these stats should be...

 

So, my question this time around is:

 

Should I continue to balance myself? (If I follow this route I will level all combat stats except Summoning to 80.)

 

Or, is there a better way to do this? Should Attack or Strength take over as my highest melee stat, or something else?

 

Thanks in advance! ;)

I'd prefer to stay balance, as it'll help you in the longer run if you want to monster hunt as well.

I guess if you're a slayer, and defence isnt AS important to you, you could feasibly allow your attack/strength to lead so your xp rate increases, and get def to 99 last or something like that.

Would probably be quicker

 

But I prefer to stay balanced just because

Just stay balanced...

You're over thinking, just keep playing they way you are ahaha

I train what I want to train, which most of the time winds up being Attack. But being balanced is better.

Unless you decide to get heavily into boss hunting, pking, or any other specialized activities that require certain stats to be fairly high-leveled, I see no reason for ya to dramatically shake up how you play.

No one mix is vastly superior to the other, so you can decide whatever you want and not worry about any consequences, and if you can't decide you can always stick with what you're doing now or if you're bored shake things up a bit.

As long as you don't get defence over attack/strength anything is okay really. And may I suggest getting summoning to an equal level as your other combat stats just for a challenge? :P
