Okay, so here's the story. I like defence. When I play sports, I play defence. When I look at equipment, I prefer a rune kite over an obby shield any day due to it's better defence. I wear barrows armour to fight chickens. When I'm in a generous mood I give low levels armour when they ask for weapons. I am a defence man and I want skills to match.

 

 

 

So, my current plan is to, after I've had my fill of barrows, train defence like a crazy loon using slayer assignments. I will use my black mask to compensate for the lack of offense, although I could supplement it with potions as well.

 

 

 

Any suggestions, or is it a pretty sound plan? No idea will be overlooked.

 

 

 

And I'm not going near pc. After reading all the rants I don't want to have my training ruined by the lower levels, and I'd rather not be associated at all with the higher ones.

sounds pretty good to me but....i woudl really recommend getting a rune defender, even though it has only +20ish defense stats, the +20 attack and +5 str bonuses i think make a huge difference

He is right there u know =)

If those are the right stats (77 attack, 75 strength, 78 defence) then you don't have the same problems as a defence pure. The impact of accurate / aggressive / defensive selection on your combat effectiveness is likely to be minimal.

Those are what I have now, although i may move attack up to 80 with time. I plan to try to max out defence before getting 76 strength.

 

 

 

The rune defender sounds good actually. I'll try for that after I've got a couple more mil from barrows.
