Does def matter in a range tank?

This really isn't about me, and I don't really want advice just your input. So lately I've been pking with my friend who's 6 combat levels higher than me. He's lvl 103, the same cmb lvl as most maxed tanks with 99 def/range. Only problem is that he's 86 def, and he seems to tear up most people his level. Is the fact that he's successful due to his lower def which leads to more veng combos?

No.

Defence level has no bearing on how well you can use veng combos or anything at all other than how much damage you take.

[z0diark]

Nah, he obviously just knows what he's doing/the best time to veng etc.

I think the "tank" kinda implys defence.

I'm 85 def and 93 range, and I can say that its not really about the def levels so much. I have much more trouble because of my comp or fact that I use a laptop or don't have veng at all. Like was said already the more you pk the better you tend to get.

 

In addition to that most of the time the best defense is actually a good offense that keeps your oponent eating rather than hitting you
