The combat triangle (aka the pk triangle) as you know is still unbalanced. The f2p combat triangle is closer to being balanced than the p2p one, probably because it is very limited in equipment that has balanced stats.

 

 

 

Take a look at my best melee set up:

 

 

 

 

I have +20 magic defence on my melee setup, as the combat triangle goes it's supposed to be in the minus. Add on the protect from magic prayer and my own passive magic defence from my magic skill, I *could* own a mage in the wildy who just uses say bind/snare/entangle and damages me with normal missle spells like the fire missles. My character is more than just a warrior.

 

 

 

Thoughts?

this is totally true

 

i am extremely hard to kill using magic while killing green dragons in wild or abyss runecrafting. well the runecrafting doesnt be under this topic, but my green dragon killing is. my defence (81), magic (86) and outfit mage resist (around 100) makes maging me extremely hard 8-) and i am meleeing greens. allways. dont be mad to me pkers... sorry to waste your tb/entangle/barrage runes

You would never go pking with a that stuff anyways.

No, of course not, but you can go and pk with that setup. Those items are always available when pking after all...well that's what Jagex thinks. Jagex are always adding new and better items that add to your stats overall, like the metal gloves from RoD, or the capes from the Tzhaar caves. Those kind items are unbalancing the combat triangle.

 

 

 

Rune armour needs a more substantial negative magic def stat, to make it more balanced so that enemy magic hits better.
