Somewhat old school range tank

Featured Replies

Yeah hi i used to be a ranged tank staker and kind of kept my stats the same all this time.

 

102 cb

97 range

80 defense

86 mage

87 hp

63 prayer

47 summoning (for EE and BSS)

 

Basically i'm getting 70 prayer to use enhanced excalibur (ideally, EEE)

 

I'll be doing mage/food/pots/pray off and starting out with EE spec and tank gear. how will i do?

(full arma and full torags with ranger boots, bss, all amulets besides fury, barrows gloves, rune c bow)

 

 

And yes i realize to be competitive with mage on i will need 94 mage for barrage hybridding or veng.

Moved to the graveyard :).

 

I'd get rigour, if you want 70+ prayer anyway. And a chaotic crossbow.

I don't know exactly how to rate your effectiveness. It's kinda something you just have to find out for yourself. But with that being said, I'd say get a better spec weapon. EEE is good, but really only for healing on things like monster hunting and slayer. Not for duels or anything of the PvP sort. Maybe use a hand cannon for spec instead? It is really only one of the good range spec weapons. Aside from the Zcbow. But it only works well if they're using quite a few prayers and are wearing a few god items.

 

As for the darkbow, i've tried using it as a spec weapon on my range tank, and i just couldn't quite nail a quick switch for some reason. Maybe i was just unlucky.

 

You'll have to be quick with arrow and bow switch + be able to hotkey to the attack style window for a quick special for any of them.

 

Oh, and if you're planning on hybriding, i would recommend getting 75 attack and using a Staff of Light. Plus, a little dungeoneering for an arcane stream, scroll of Rigour, and maybe even a Chaotic Crossbow wouldn't hurt.

i did a few stakes today (won several 200k's, a 500k, only lost one 700k) so with some of the extra gear i bought i broke about even. It was very hard to find people who wanted to do my rules. i don't have enhanced excalibur so i just used regular excalibur for fights. it actually was not bad but i got owned in the 700k fight by a guy using morrigans javelin so i think i would prefer that as my spec weapon.
