What is the highest mage attack bonus a 1 defense pure can have?

Featured Replies

Title says it all. I want a gear set up for barraging in pvp/bounty on my maxed 60 attack 1 defense account.

Staff of light, ghostly top/bottom, gnome hat, glory/fury/arcane astream, mages book, godcape, addy gloves, wizard boots, seers ring(i).

Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)

Dagannoth kings drops: 73

Barrows item count: 51

GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)

Whips: 4

Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)

Staff of light, ghostly top/bottom, gnome hat, glory/fury, mages book, godcape, addy gloves, wizard boots, seers ring(i).

May this, except ancient staff instead of staff of light

That'd be stupid as sol gives +5% more magic damage.

 

Edit: Speaking of magic damage, might aswell put chaotic staff there.

ok, but OP can't wield sol.

master wand has higher mage attack bonus then sol.

So replace ancient staff and sol with master wand.

For barraging I assume you want max magic offence, which requires arcstream and cstaff, but on the other hand low(ish) risk, which counts those out. But the arcane necklaces are all better than glory/fury (probably all easier to replace than fury).

Assuming money, quests, Dungoneering and attack levels are not a object(This is taking into account magic damage > magic accuracy):

 

God Mitre

Runecrafter robe

God robe bottom

Adamant Gloves

Wizard boots

Arcane stream necklace

God Cape

Seers' ring (i)

Chaotic staff

Mages' book

 

= 86 magic attack and a +35% damage bonus.

 

Of course, this setup is rather expensive, since you're looking for a PvP setup. So you'll want to substitute a few things.

 

 

-Ghostly robes, runecrafter robes, and the god vestments all have the same magic attack. Except for the god vestment tops, which have one less magic attack then the tops of the other two sets.

All three have their advantages, Runecrafter robes have some defense bonuses. The god vestments have prayer, and the ghostly robes are the cheapest and easiest to obtain. The most practical chose for PvP are ghostly robes.

 

 

-Mitres have 1 more magic attack then Ghostly hoods and runecrafter hats, but are pricey. So, again, ghostly hoods are more practical.

 

 

-Wizard boots are also pricey, so ghostly boots again or climbers if you don't mind the extra 75k risk and are using a melee spec weapon.

 

 

-No reason not to get and use Adamant Gloves. Same case for god capes.

 

 

-Of course arcane streams are hard to get, especially for a 1 def pure. So, you'll want to switch it out for a str ammy/glory for much less risk. Which ever suits your needs best. I'll also note that a 3rd age amulet has 1 more magic attack, but no sane person would let that anywhere near a PvP world.

 

 

-Seer's ring (i) takes a LONG time to get, and has a pretty big risk. So it's best to use a Dragonstone, Diamond, or even a ruby (i) ring in it's place, depending on how much MA you play and what you want to risk. If you don't want to go through the effort for those two, then either an Explorer's ring or Recoil. The latter doesn't offer magic attack, but is useful. Another note, i'm not sure if the beacon ring has stats during the quest you obtain it in. But if it does, it might be worth getting as it would be free to replace. However, DO NOT finish the quest, as it gives 2k defense exp.

 

 

-Of course, the chaotic staff requires 80 dungoneering. But is hardly practical for a 1 def pure. So, if you plan to raise your attack, a Staff of Light. If you don't, ancient staff is the easiest and most practical. Though a Master's wand as a big risk, and more magic attack.

 

 

-Lastly, mages' book is the best. Although a Zammy book is much more practical for risk, as it's free to replace and offers decent offensive stats.

 

 

In case you haven't noticed, item setups and research is my favorite activity :roll:

You might be able to get a lunar ring (i)? Anyway, seers (i) is around 25 hours to obtain, and 400k + an hour's worth of reward credits to reobtain.

Lunar Diplomacy requires the completion of Fremennik Trials, which gives defense EXP. Sp it's a no-go for a 1 def pure.

 

Seer's (i) indeed isn't practical for risking PKing, but it does have the highest mage attack as the OP requested. But there are other cheaper alternatives like Dragonstone, Diamond, and Ruby (i).

Contrary to popular belief, the Chaotic Staff does NOT require any attack level to use. The only requirements for it are 80 magic and dungeoneering.

 

It is a huge upgrade over your second best ancient staff, and protects over the robes you will use. So i'd recommend it if you are serious about maging. Although be careful when you loot, you might want to bank the staff first then go back for the drops.
