JohnTheCop Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Okay so i just reched 90 attack and am curretly 90/99/80 melles and i was wondering if it would be best for me to continue training attack or switch to defence and start getting that up? I boss hunt(with clan), and pk a little bit, do clw and other minigames, i slay sometimes, and am working towards a rapier as i type, i have extremes (except xdef which i will be getting soon.) also should i stick with my prom maul when i dung or switch to a prom 2h?

The Observer Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 You can switch to Defence for a little while, for some variety. In my experience, if I don't switch around skills they tend to become more boring, thus lower XP gains. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nifflin Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 What do you do the most? I would say generally attack would be best but depending on what you spend time doing defense could be better. Defense would also raise your combat level more quickly. PM me in game anytime It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet. That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fekambard Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 It really doesnt matter, but I would go with defence for more even stats. 90 defence will allow you to wield prom platebody which will be useful when dung'ing, whereas the same amount xp gain in attack won't allow you to wield anything new/useful.

Dex Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Prom 2h > Prom maul so get a prom 2h. Training up 99 atk first then 99 defence is the faster then the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifflin Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Also; I got to the end of your siggy. Do I get a prize? Edit: Never bind prom plate unless you don't have ssh PM me in game anytime It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet.

Th e Doctor Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 At 90 attack you're already so accurate on any monster you should be powertraining at that getting 99 attack isn't going to yield any noticible difference in exp/hr. Meaning its basically irrelevant from an efficiency standpoint which one you train next. I would say defense because of the dg benefits you gain from a prom plate until (if you ever) find a shadowsilk hood. The only benefit you would get from 99 attack in dg would be primal baxe (primal 2h isn't available till 113(?) Dg) which is better than a prom 2h if you use it right and can pray flash efficiently as well as allowing for easier switching to your csb to mage.

Nomrombom Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I suggest 80-85 defence, 90-95 attack, 85-90 defence, 99 attack, 99 defence. Keeps it interesting. PM me for fitocracy invite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're getting plummeled so much more which I highly doubt.Like everybody said though - if you're going to DG, why not get 90 def? You get access to a platebody (although, there are plenty of better binds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I don't see the point you're trying to make now.Outside of DG - the OP would be on either the atk or def stance. I'm saying atk > def since he is looking for the best method I was addressing the fact that people suggested leveling his defense up to 90 so he could have a better plate bind.All I'm saying is that - the plate bind might be helpful but you drop it as soon as you get a SSH. Which isn't all that rare (in my experience at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 im not worried about "Fun" i just want to know which would be best for me Well, even so, I still recommend 99 Defence because a. You will gain combat levels and levels much quickerb. You will be able to wear more things like promethium armour in Dungeoneering c. won't need to bring as much food while training, so you can stay there longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifflin Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 99 attack first is more efficient in the long run. PM me in game anytime It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet.

The Observer Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Well, I meant more like 90 Defence first, then you can get 99 later on if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
