Defense pures, worth the time and effort?


un4given

Recommended Posts

Pure strength, magic, ranging characters are starting to pop up in the wildy, often in large groups or clans maybe (often the occasional pure loner), as I have seen in my ventures. Many of the pures are becoming common, but what about defense pures? Are they worth the time and effort of creating these characters? What are the benefits of these pures in the wilderness? I've been taking into consideration creating a defense pure, already owning a strength pure. Lets shed some light on this subject, what are your thoughts? If any, some advice on creating a defense pure. Ty

I own a defense pure and well...can't say I am a pker of any sort but I get to laughing so hard I fall out of my chair when people "my lvl" try to kill me...

 

 

 

For me it is just something to play with and an oddity...no clue if it would have any real value in the wildy other than giggles.

If they do get a few attack and strength levels they are very useful for abyss rcing. :)

Defence pures own abyss rcing. If their combat level is low enough with a high def, they won't be touched by both pkers and abby creatures.

im goin for the lvl 18 with 40 def myself. to scare newbs and finally go to the wild with low chance of gettin killed.

 

i also started a pure def with prayer. when (or if...) he finally gets to lvl 40 def he will probabley be like 43 at least in prayer. it will be for the pwnage of elvarg or somthing.

 

i as a player never go to the wild on my main and i value def on him higher than any other stat right now i'm 58 def working on 59 and 58 atk and 55 strength. so i like defense a lot.

Thanks for the comments. I've seen others training their defense pures training at the monastary (the pure hotspot) while training my strength pure. Quite frankly, I thought what a waste of time, seeing them hit 1's or 2's at the most. Here's a little story....It didnt quite hit me that they may be useful afterall until pking with friends. While watching and preying about for straggling loners and the occasional pking group, two full runers in their 60's come running by. Two runers, well, our group was tough enough to take them, on the account of many of us were maging. Thinking of the loot, we decided to take them on. Come to find out, they were lurers who lured us back to several lvl 70's. Hm, well, 70's, we can take them, our manpower was strong enough to overcome, or we thought. We attacked the runers, hitting very low, while the lvl 70's were hitting 20's on us. Geez, I thought. That day we lost to them. I thought, what if we had a defense pure...we could use him as a lurer...and here I am today asking for advice.

Defence pures are pretty useless in the wild but a hybrid character with high defence is good dueling and pking. High defence and magic/range is good in the wilderness while high attack and defence with moderate strength is good staking.

I think we're getting a bit off the topic here....we're discussing defense pures, not ranging/magic/str pures :? . Anyone could could easily make one of those. I'm talking about straight defense, maybe a little variation...post your defense pure if you have one. :P [/i]

Ya I don't think making a defense pure is gonna help you PK in wild, but the main reason is to walk around and make people freak out, like I did with ma pure.. Currently training def tho.. 3 k from 43 defense atm, going slow and steady.. ;)

def pures aren't for pking

 

 

 

they're for fun, staking, rune mining (saw a level 20 wearing rune, and mining rune while pking. Noone in my group could even attack him) and abyss crafting. Not much else.

I don't mean to be rude, but we kind of knew that already. :wink:

 

 

 

In your first post you say: "Are they worth the time and effort of creating these characters? What are the benefits of these pures in the wilderness?"

 

 

 

Just trying to answer your question. What more do you need to know? It's up to you to decide if you want a def pure to survive in wildy, or some other pure to get kills. Simple right?

 

 

 

I don't mean to be rude, but be more specific in your question when you're looking for specific information. :wink:

Lol the most polite flaming I have ever seen. 8)

 

 

 

Anywho, if you get 5 level 40's with 4 1def and 1 ONLY def you can have a huge amount of "firepower" with an almost impenatrable defense... as long as you make sure the def pure is taking the hits lol.

 

 

 

I would be seriously impressed with a 99 def pure because you can't hit more than 1 with 1 str so that is a HUGE time devotion.

Here's my defense pure (I'm working on a new one as well; these guys are awesome, and fun to just walk around with):

Okay, so I editted it, haha, he actually has 2 attack (accidental level while training), and that is why I'm making a new defense pure. But yeah, these guys are AMAZING at skilling. I will work on getting one to level 60 or 70 defense, that would be awesome to see a level 32 in full Guthan, or a level 27 in full Dragon (minus the shield, of course). But yeah, a level 18 in full Saradomin (or whatever you prefer, minus the plate though) is an amazing sight to see, and I'm glad I made these two, because they are noticed everywhere. I actually had a person come up to me and say "wow, full addy (g) on a level 18!" Then I put on the rune... heh, that shocked her.

 

 

 

But like I was saying, defense pures as skillers: at level 18 combat, you are getting level 38 random events. Now, provided they aren't the evil chicken, you basically won't be hit by these random events. There is a downside though, you can't hit anything higher than a 1. Even with the best armor (that you can't wear), the best weapon (d2h, which you can't wield), the best potions (super str), the best specials (dragon battle axe), and the best in prayer (which you can't use), you will still only hit a 1. That is why, if you ever see a person hit a 2, they aren't pure defense.

 

 

 

It took me a few weeks to get my pure to his level 40, and it took me 4 days to get it from level 30 to 40. But they are VERY helpful and useful. If you obtain level 85 mining, they can go to the wilderness Rune Rocks without fear of being pked (unless by a mage that is). This means that they can't be touched by many people their level, or people too far above the miner.

 

 

 

Like I said, however, they can be easily taken down, just like other pures, if your would-be killer were more than 20 levels above you (20 is just an example). But even still, with some rune armor, and some energy, you can outlive most any encounter. I have been in the wild before, and I even withstood a direct attack from a mage pure, and stood to tell about it! Mind you I was in level 13 wilderness, but the fact remains (I stood and fought for a few rounds before fleeing).

 

 

 

Defense pures are GREAT fun, but again, it is paintaking hard work, and requires a good amount of financial backing to make these guys the best they can be. I would advise you don't even try this until you are a high level (85+) on your main account before even attempting to make a defense pure, as these little fellas won't be making you much money until a good few months have passed.
