MstrMonopoly Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Keep defence at 83 and just level range to 99. No point in a 99/99 tank, trust me. I piety the fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer434 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 well i'm sort of a range tank too and currently i'm just keeping my att/str 75ish and getting maxed defense, range, mage, and hp. My range tank is more for fun, being low combat and having pro skills and sometimes pking. The mage I would say get to level 94 both for highest ice ancient magic spell and also for vengence. both are pretty good for rushing and 1v1 fights respectively "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Confucius "choosing your path is the true trial", "the most honorable dilemma" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilformen Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 OP, technically not a tank, as its melee based. are you planning to use it for monster hunting, pking, or just doing for kicks? 32,606th to 99 magic || 15,388th to 99 dungeoneering || 12,647th to 99 farming14,792nd to 99 range || 24,954th to 99 herblore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budley12 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks for the advice all 3 of you. And as to the last person, I plan to use t for a bit of everything. Armadyl Solo's would be nice, a bit of PKing would be good, and just for overall use really. I was looking more into the PKing aspect of the Range Tank though to be honest. Thanks to everyone! Any more suggestions please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJG Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 My stats at the moment are probably quite range-tank based. Essentially keep attack and strength as low as possible and get range and defence as high as possible. At my level (or at 99 range/defence/hp/mage) you can level attack and strength upto level 75 without gaining any combat levels which is useful for pking. For me, range tanks work in many situations and can make money pretty well. Anymore questions or anything in more detail, i'll check back later to answer anything else.

muggiwhplar Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I used to be a maxed range tank (on my banned account) I'm assuming this is for dangerous PvP I strongly suggest you follow these tips: If you absolutely insist on training defence, do not train it beyond lvl 94. At lvl 94 you get the highest possible boost from a super defence potion. If you go to 99 defence, you'll be against foes with higher offensive power-- their offence will be more "potent" than your defence and you'll be at a huge disadvantage. 99 defence is overrated. Don't get it. I repeat: DO NOT GET IT. Stop training your att/str immediately-- you're already melee-based. Each att/str lvl you gain makes you weaker because it increases your combat level and you don't use melee as a tank-ranger. Get HP as high as you want. Get magic as high as you can... 94+ is strongly recommended-- magic is mostly just for mage def, though. Don't PK in void, it's not worth the risk. If you want the best chances for a kill you should hybrid with magic. You can hybrid with ancients and have mystic boots, god cape, and a few other magic-boosting items and then ice barrage your opponent the moment they start to escape. If they don't teleport it's a guaranteed kill. Otherwise hopefully you can KO them w/ range somehow. Vengeance is probably the most reliable-- I usually just sat back and used dragon bolts (e) and practiced timing my vengeance properly. Phoenix necklaces allow you to go for kills without worrying about getting KO'd yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
