F2P Range Tanks

[watlol]

I've been away for a few months and just came back. I was thinking of a f2p pure to screw around with and decided upon a range tank. I heard that with longbow sights, a range tank is very very good?

 

Would you be able to pk effectivley with stats as low as 20-30 def and 40-50 range? If not, what is a better goal to shoot for?

20-30 defense doesn't make much of a tank.....I would assume with atleast 40 defense for rune, you could do well but the range accuracy is pretty negligible with the speed of a longbow compared to a shortbow against pures....You'd do well against other enemies in armor but I don't see the benefits of a longbow unless you use something to KO. You simply won't hit fast enough, high enough. You should hit consistantly enough though.

 

I haven't see anyone use these sights yet so I can't say for sure.

The sighted tank is only good if you have 80+ def and 90+ range and you do armor fights. You will hit very accurately and take little damage. And you'd be at combat 90. 40atk cant touch that kind of def.

at 80 def, 80 hp, 90 range your level 90, but thats without prayer. and if your doing these types of fights you need 44 prayer.

 

realistically in the 90's you won't be able to k0 people that well since your max hit is only 17 or 18 and you won't be hitting that fast at all.

 

im 80 defense, 86 hp, 94 range, and once i get the longbow sight ill surely be testing it out in f2p
