Str lvl between max hits - usefull?

[Orangutangen]

Hello dear reader.

 

 

 

I was wondering, is it any use raising your strength level above a "max hit limit" (str 88 for example where I get a max hit of 19 with a schimy) if you don't intend to reach the next one?

 

 

 

I'm not asking if it would raise my max hit with other weapon types, only if the max hit would get a higher chance of occuring.

 

 

 

I guess it's left to speculations really, but yeh.

 

:anxious:

if ur training with a wep that only has a max hit of say 14. then there would be no point in raisin ur strength lvl any higher than it needs to be to deal 14 damage. i hope that came out right

The formula for max hit actually gives a decimal. Jagex truncates the decimal in the actual game.

 

 

 

Technically, your max hit is still being raised when you are at "in-between" levels. The likelihood of hitting anything above your "integer max hit" (the integer value of your max hit) is increased. So yes, raising in-between levels does help you hit more often.

 

 

 

For example,

 

If you can hit 19.5, your *actual* max hit is .5 damage higher than 19. So you will have more instances of hitting anything from 19-19.5 (which all round down to 19) than if you were to hit just 19 and nothing more.

it also depends on what attack style you are using, for instance i can hit 15 with scimmy on agressive but only 14 with it on defensive

That's because using agressive gives you temporary +3 str.

assuming you are f2p, you should rasise , as if you ever decide to become a member, high str will be a blessing against our fine array of monsters

Thanks for the answers everyone, especially sseli. That's exactly the answer I wanted!

Never knew that, but sounds reasonable.

 

 

 

So does using accurate style also give +3?

Yes.

 

 

 

Controlled = +1 for all

[sheepdean]

accurat - +3 att

 

aggresive - + 3 str

 

defensive - +3 def

 

controlled - +1 all

[imaleber]

accurat - +3 att

 

aggresive - + 3 str

 

defensive - +3 def

 

controlled - +1 all

 

 

 

Thank you, and may i ask, where did you get this info?

[sheepdean]
