I can't decide if I want to stay 45 Defence.

 

Would 99 be better?

 

Any point to staying 45?

 

If neither of those, what Defence?

 

Please reply.

Being maxed or nearly maxed with 99 defence is pretty boring. You're fighting someone and all it is 0-0-0-164-0-0-0-540....and so on.

It depends if you want to stay a pure or not.

Well, I like being able to say "My Defence level is 45."

 

BUT, I've never been a very skilled pker , more a quester or pvm'er I guess.

 

I like 45 def, but I am starting to see the reason people max, more opportunities to do things in RS. Most zerkers can only Pk and skill. Not really made for Bandos, Nex, Kree'arra etc.

 

I was just getting some feedback on what people would do if they were in my shoes. (I think that's how the saying goes)

get 99 defence if youre not gunna pvp or dont care particularly about it.

99 defence is for bossing, questing, anything that isnt pvp.

if its pvp youre after, plan your build stats and see what def level is best for you. plenty of pkers on here to ask for advice

 

EDIT- you just posted while i was typing.

if youre a pvm and quester, get 99 def, or at least train it however far you can be bothered

Thanks for your input.

 

Yeah, I'm more of an all-rounder I guess you could say. If I feel like pking, I'll pk for maybe 30 minutes.

I never used to pk so I never really got into it.

It's not like you can't PK as a maxed main. Go and max.

If you would like to PvM and quest etc, perhaps you should try getting mid 70s-80s in defence?

This way you have high enough defence to do most bosses without losing that advantage a pure would have by being lower defence.

 

If you still aren't sure, write up a pros/cons list. Think about why you originally made the account and what would change if you trained defence up.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature!

99 requires dedication, try 60 first since dragon amour is quite affordable now and do provide quite a significant boost on defense bonus.

Defence for the equipment you can afford, or can afford to lose, since defence without equipment is very much a wasted stat.

You can gain defence in stages. 60 defence will get you dragon (defender mainly), 65 Bandos/third-age, 70 barrows, 75 dragonfire shield/spirit shields, 80 Nex gears, 85 hybrid gears (highest useful level in overworld), 90 promethium, 99 primal.

First they came to fishing

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing;

Then they came to the yews

and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews;

Then they came for the ores

and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores;

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Dfs is a waste, especially if you're getting it for dragons. The money is much better spent on herblore to unlock super antifiires/extremes.
