Different builds in RS

[Obbylinator]

As the topic titles says,

 

I have heard both sides to an obby mauler pure, that it is not very viable nowadays.

 

Could anyone tell me more about different pure/hybrid builds which is effective both in PvM and PVP available in runescape now? I plan to work towards that goal by grinding and questing.

 

Also I am a member.

 

Feel free to post various builds here :)

 

Thank you very much.

 

So far I have heard of:

 

Rune pure,

Defense pure,

Range Tank (care to elaborate?)

Turmoil Pure.

Obby Mauler pure.

From what I've heard Zerker pures work nicely. Though I don't know how to make one, I'm sure someone here will chime in soon.

I think my stats fit the build of a range tank

If you have extreme patience a summoning tank is the coolest thing out there. When you see that level 40 in barrows with a DFS and a steel titan.. that gets respect.

[noble_aloof]

range tanks are probably the best, if you find yourself down and out there are plenty of monster hunting options to make cash with.

just a regular DFS pure at sub 50 combat is pretty fun. That's the only type of pure i'd ever think about making, though i'd never make a pure anyway.

 

Think about how much soul wars you're willing to do, or if the time spent making a pure will be "so much fun" it's worth it.

Two things wrong with that picture:

 

No summoning familiars allowed at all in barrows.

 

You can only use familiars in multi-combat areas. Barrows ain't multi.

 

Also, a problem (I think, I wouldn't know) with summon pures is that familiars raise your levels. That could muck things up in the long term. Possibly.

In barrows ARMOR.

It's not uncommon to go to world 18 east of edge river and see a summoning pure ko someone with a steel titan spec or a summoning and def pure to ko someone with steel titan and dfs spec.

[Obbylinator]

Thank you all for the input so far :)

 

Sorry JJG I am not able to see your stats.

 

I doubt I would go with a summoning pure at the moment - no cash to do one and to not have combat skills would be a *pain*.

 

Rune pures are really appealing to me although I heard that is hard work.

 

More please :)

1 defense hybrids.

 

train ranged/magic and keep 1 def/sum and 1-44 prayer.

 

its been around for ages but still a fun build.

 

i have a few friends that were quite successful as nearly-maxed hybrids with 99 range & magic and high constitution. (i havent pked on mine)

I never understood the point of making a pure. 80/80/80 stats beat 1/80/5 stats any day. Just train everything, experience every benefit.

1/80/5 don't fight 80/80/80 accounts though, they fight 60/60/60 or 50/50/50 accounts.

Time to go on a epic zerker pure supporting rant :D

 

Not really.

 

Anyway, i actually would recommend just training a main. Unless you're making a pure for the same reason i made mine: Out of boredom and wanting to experiment...

 

First off, zerkers are pretty good all around. They're what just steps over the line into high str bonuses. Max str bonus that Zerkers can get(Excluding corrupt ancient equipment) is +43 without a weapon or shield. Opposed to the +32 of prossy pures(30 def, the pure right under the zerker).

 

Plus they can utilize dragonhide bodies, void knight armor, the vengeance spell, and even turmoil at high levels. I personally support zerkers myself. As i have one myself, and am pretty proud of it.

 

Next up would be the Barrows tank. With 70 or 75 def(depends if you want to use a dfs). Pretty good, not much more of a str bonus over the zerker pure, but their barrows equipment gives them a great advantage in a lot of safe PvP minigames(Or high risking in bounty hunter). Plus they can use bandos too. Which is a nice convenience.

 

All in all, training a main would be the best in the long run. But i need to learn to follow my own advice =P

[Obbylinator]

Is an Obby Tank considered a pure?

 

Cab an Obby tank be a rune pure in the long run?

 

Would like to pk in the level 40s - 60s range

*facepalm*

[Obbylinator]

No idea what that was :P

[Obbylinator]

Finally made up my mind guys.

 

3 choices - Obby tank, Rune pure or Range tank.

 

Which of these 3 is the 'best' in PVP and PVM in your opinion?

Well as i posted before, I'd suggest the rune pure.

 

Though a range tank comes in very close 2nd. Because they basically have the same abilities as a rune/zerker pure. Depends if you're looking at a 40 def range tank or a 70/75 one.

[Obbylinator]

Lets say a 40 def range tank?

 

Which is more effective at PVP (at their own combat levels) 40 def or 70/75 def?

 

A rune pure is strictly at 45 def right?

 

I'm looking for one 'more in the long run' kinda PVP.

[Bambootsa]

I really prefer barrows pures. They have ability to do some boss hunt and wear good armors. And they can be considered as mains too. Personally going for 90/95/70 atm. ( 95 in f2p first and then 90 att in mem whit whip via slayer)

[Expl0de]

Pures nowadays are only good for F2P Dungeoneering. I respect a 138 more than a cookie-cutter hybrid any day. If you're set on a pure, an obby tank (1-99-40/70/75 ) seems very viable though, if you're looking into a member's pure.

Obby tank would be viable for PVP but I'm looking to quest as well. Hence Its either with a range tank/ rune pure.

 

Thanks though
