Strength vs. Defense. FINAL SHOWDOWN

If anyone wants to say Def pures own str pures I'm just gonna have to ask about the logic on that one :-s

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If anyones heard or seen, Hiei The Pk who is a pure, killed a 126 in full Dharoks at mage bank. 99 Str and 99 Attack with 20 Defence, Vs a 99,99,99 with Dharoks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wheres your god now!

This just shows how flawed the combat system is. On rare occasion, this will happen, but it really shouldn't.

 

 

 

Pking isn't all stats; it's also about skill.

Barrows sets: guthan, verac, dharok, maybe ahrim eventually <- lost to a hacker whole stole everything of worth from my bank

Ive always preferred def over str,its so funny when some str pure expects to kill you and they just keep hittin 0s while youre average hits are gradually killing them :twisted:

Defence is best because it's useful for all three combat modes - melee mage and range :)

In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes

I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose

I offered up my innocence, I got repaid with scorn

"Come in'', she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

str will win cos defence doesn't work well in the wild (yeah, i have died to a str pure :wall:

TY sworddude198 for the sig, u rock!

I used to have a 40 Def, 73 Range, 62 HP, 60 combat Range Tank. That thing Downright OWNED!! Pures were my favorite to fight, because they would just keep eating as I was pounding them. I even got Full Rune people to run (and die) to my arrows. Normally when A fight would finish I would be about HALF invo of food left. Sadly, that account got lost somehow :(

i think it depends on how u use it and not what it is... still i vote for strength

Hmm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, I think Both need to be high, and I don't like pures

 

 

 

I like how I'm hitting with my str, and I like how I can last for ~1,5 hours at lvl 80 skeletons with rune armour and deffender :D

It's wierd, my friend X Arikado X always loses in a complete fight against a rune pure. However, since neither he nor his opponent eat when they're over 30 HP, he actually killed the rune pure once or twice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It seems that if you're high strength, you have a better chance of actually killing. However, defence helps you outlast your opponent.

Definately Strength!! W00t go strength!

Strength pures have been over rated for over a year now..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I created 2 Tanks and enjoyed 3 to 1 KO ratio to str pures... That is one vs one..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also noticed a shift to Defense...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Used to be 1 defense was the rage... then Iniate Pures... now Rune Pures..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sooo where does this leave us???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to tanks!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My vote.... Defense

ok.... i went pking with my level 16 mage tank, i challenged a dude in varrock bank(lvl 32) i killed him(he was with his brother that wanted to watch so i killed him two*), now i dont think he was a pure, i think he was a balanced melee fighter, then i found a guy back in varrock centre(he happened to be a strength pure), we went to the wilderness and, I OWNED him he then sent me abuse until i set chat to friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore defence owns strength!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add me to the defence list :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Stop double spacing your sentences... I'm going to do this if you don't stop...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

$data = sql_safe($_POST['data']);



$data = str_replace("  ", " ", $data);

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mwahaha.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On topic... controlled/balanced is the best method in my (and your) opinion. Did I ever tell you training controlled became a fad because of me? Funny...

  • Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.
  • Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler.

DEFENCE ALL THE WAY!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'nuff said.

ive always hated def lol

 

 

 

STR > DEF 8-)

87/90 Attack

90/90 Strength

92/9? Hp

99/99 Ranged!

77/85 Mage

you can't compare it this way.. they serve different things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

while not training your def you will have a higher hit/combat lvl..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

however you get hit much more by melee and ranging against magic defens doesn't give any "defens" so if you fight a magician your high defens lvl is just useless....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so if you fight many meleeers (at duel arena or something so they can't run) def pure would own a str pure.. but a str pure would stand better against a magician..

First they came to fishing

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing

 

Then they came to the yews

and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews

 

Then they came for the ores

and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores

 

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Waay too many factors,you gotta consider magic and hp at least,as well as prayer,food used and potions used,special attacks,weapons used,skills at pking ect

i would want a strength pker, they can KO and don't give a long time for people to pj and telly =)
