Range tank or pure?

[Rock_Goose]

Which would be better? And i would like why and what stats for it. It would be f2p

[Sir_Sleeveen]

what is the benifet of being a pure?

[Doomster]

I assume that "tank" =

 

 

 

Full deagonhide, or the alternate of a rune chainbody (better against melee counterattack). The green body has some attack bonus, but not enough to conter the combat level increase.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doing Dragon Slayer at 34 defence brings defence up to 40 (or a few XP short of) to enable wearing full dragonhide, but it's tough for a F2P ranger as the shield constrains you to a basic crossbow, unless you can dodge and attack with a better bow. You might survive one grilling without the shield.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a 1 def pure, the body has to be plain leather or iron chain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10 Defence may be worth considering - an extra 2.75 combat levels from defence, but the hard leather body has an attack of +8 instead of +2, equivalent to 3 extra levels of ranged combat - and it's a cheap item.

I don't think a pure can survive a blast, it can hit up to 60.
