does hp affect combat lvl?

[psrbabe]

[wagon] the title said im waondering if hp adds to combat and if so in what way

 

 

 

thanx in advance

[O_Qp]

Yes, it does. I think each hp level is 1/3 of a combat level, but that could be wrong...

[dwarfie76]

Yes, all of your combat stats - Attack, Defence, Strength, Hitpoints, Magic, Range and Prayer contribute to your combat level.

[psrbabe]

so if im training a mage pure and i use non hp gaining spells will my combat get higher slower?

[dwarfie76]

Yes, the idea for a mage pure would be to use spells that don't raise HP as well.

[ishepp]

For a mage pure it is worth getting hp up. A few combat lvls higher doesnt matter, 59 mage and 10hp is still pretty useless. Unless you are training melee/range for hp, you should use combat spells to train at least some of the time.

[Doomster]

If the calcs are correct, I think 1 HP is 1/4 of a combat level.

 

 

 

 

 

While the hit/level of a 10 HP mage would be a thing to behold, they would get creamed if the target ever got any retaliation in, or if hit first.

 

 

 

No hitpoint mage training is better for "secondary" mage, if you want mage levels but get hitpoints from other combat.

Exactly right.

 

Defense and HitPoint both contribute 1/4 of a combat level and Prayer contributes 1/8.

 

 

 

so if im training a mage pure and i use non hp gaining spells will my combat get higher slower?

 

That's right.

 

 

 

If Magic is your dominant fighting stat, then each magic level contributes about 0.48 of a combat level.

 

 

 

Keep in mind though, that a low HP mage with no melee armor is not gonna last long in the wildy.

 

You should consider teaming with melee tank of some kind so that

 

your individual weaknesses are made up by the other's strengths.

 

 

 

Hope this helps.
