I never did Controlled. I got Strength, and then Attack, then Hitpoints, then Defence...now I have over 62M Defence experience, and like 20M Strength/Attack. I love being under 1k in the world for Defence!

I keep them relatively close. Within 5 I'd say. Though I honestly can't tell you what my combat stats are save 80 Strength. Haven't done combat in a while

I never train my stats evenly, but now it doesn't matter as everything is 99.

75 attack, 72 strength, 99 def. Yup, right down the middle.

 

Btw the op claiming that in that way doesn't make it slang. It simply makes it incorrect. Like stated before its akin to saying 'I am cancer' or even in an odd way 'I am grape'. It isn't possible and isn't slang.

I keep my stats even to make them look nicer

 

Off topic[hide]also, I've been diagnosed with OCD, what was claimed as OCD on the first page is nowhere near as close to what OCD actually does, like if I'm driving and I think i hit something, I'll be driving around for HOURS to try and figure out what happened to see if I hit something or not[/hide]

Eh I've heard lots of time people say they are OCD about something, not in the sense of the disease, but in the sense they like things to be in an organized or peculiar way. So for me, it's totally valid slang. Stop being pedant.

Controlled, my stats are 99 and having them even makes them look pwetty.

I trained them 1 level at a time, alternating to a different skill each time one leveled, always in the same order of attack>strength>defence. I did this until level 85, at which point I took them all to 99 without training the others at all, in the same order. In this case, I purposely saved defence for last because it would save time. At my spot, defence past 85 contributed nothing to my xp rate, so having 99 att and str first would give defence the highest possible xp rate.

 

Now that they are all 99, I train on accurate where possible, because it is my favorite of the 3 skills. I figure I might as well try to maximize its rank. It currently stands as my highest xp skill, and I doubt I will ever trump it myself since there are no other skills that will continue to see much training past 99 (except health, but its so slow it wont catch up).

Nice and uneven. I will max them out eventually anyways, so it doesn't make much of a difference. Even more so when you consider that strength exp gained from dungeoneering will throw off any exp balance I would have.

I used to level them one at a time, but since all of the combat training I've done lately has been while DG'ing with a Fractite spear I've been gaining the xp evenly on all four skills.

I've always had them equal or one off because of DG. Makes them look nicer.

Currently 90/90/90 melees, 92 prayer 92 hitpoints 80something idk range 89 magic 93 summoning

75 attack, 72 strength, 99 def. Yup, right down the middle.

Slang doesn't have to be "correct." What about people who say "im a fixing to go ___" where "fixing to" means "about/going to"? "im a bit ocd" is just common slang now.

 

Anyway, I try to train mine evenly, but in order of defense > attack > strength. I try to leave the one I'm not training at a multiple of 5 cause it looks nice.

Ever since I've started playing I always wanted balanced stats. I'd level up attack once, level up strength once, level up defense once, and then rinse and repeat. Currently 87 in those three stats.

Just look at my stats :D

I used to train on the 'controlled' attack style for many years when guthans was the only thing that really healed players (and was the main armour for slayer at the time - familiars and the summoning skill didn't exist either), but since then I now just train attack. When I get 200M attack xp I will probably train on either 'strength' or 'controlled'. I haven't really made up my mind yet.
