Defender2516 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 85 Attack 84 Strength 83 Defense Pretty decent stats. I always thought when I was a low level soldier, Once I hit that "high number", i'll be in their with the other people "owning" everything around me. Apparently this is not true.. I feel weaker than ever before. Once I got enough money, I decided to go ALL OUT OFFENSIVE. Since the title says "offense, is the best defense". So, I pull out a Rune Defender.. a Whip.. anything that lets me hit high.. and go at it.. Sure enough, I find myself hitting hard sometimes.. around 30's on monsters or people.. but very innaccurate, yet my attack level is the highest of all my stats, not to mention I have whip, which should hit pretty often! So I thought.. okay, I just need a different perspective. I'll go pure Defense. So I buy Torags and other gear that would boost up my Defense Stats. I hit over a whoppin 330+ Defense Stat in all categories! (Melee Wise). So feelin pretty invincible.. I go tackle some Fire Giants.. To make sure i'm more impenetrable, I bring my excalibur with me to hit me up to 91 Defense! I walk in.. attack a Fire Giant... and get hit.................... I shrug it off.. hits are bound to happen.. I end up getting hit 1-2 times per fire giant. (And they hit 11's!) I wanted to save up my money to buy a Dragon Chain, but Torags are far superior to D-Chains and realizing I get hit this much in Torags.. buying a Dchain would be simpley a waste of money. I went to my personal arena with another person who had 70 attack. All they had equiped was a wooden sword from the barracks.. and yeah, I got hit. So Offensive I don't feel strong at all.. not hitting consitant high numbers. In Defense Mode, I'll always get hit reguardless of level. Then I sit back and think of my levels.. 80's are extreemly high.. why can't I dish out alot of damage? Or atleast soak in alot? Will those 15 extra levels help me? Going from 60-75 or... 40-55 is a noticable jump in your charaters performance.. but not much. I thought about it.. and after doing the calculations.. my charater is only 20% through if I wanted to get those extra few levels which will only give me so little in charater performance. So after playing Runescape 4 years.. I only have completed 20%. To get my charater to jump from 85-99 will take another 80% of time and effort.. and it will be a "little" jump in charaters performance. So considering that.. atm, I feel so weak as a Melee Charater. No matter which road I seem to take.. I always seem to not be getting the desired results.. Do you feel at times your charater is weak? And everyone around you is stronger? Even those level 80's? >.< ~Defender~ If you love me, send me a PM. 8 - Love me2 - Hate me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aj926 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I know exactly what you mean. I always quit my goals of stats...and it makes me feel completely weak because of all the 99 capes floating around... I'm a NOOB for wearing a legend's cape now.

Idarodo Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I have "weak" days sometimes too. My def stats are at 300, and I don't wear a defender. Sometimes I have a though fight with a level 75 wearing full rune and a d long, and sometimes I win 100+'s with like only half of my hp gone. Same goes with ranged and magic. It's just about luck. I'm talking about duel arena now. 6,521th to 99 woodcutting | Fletching 98/99 | Idarodo | Combat 90 | Total 1565+ | 38m+ total exp Retired.

Chaos_Reborn Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 You need to join the dark side... Attack and defense doesn't increase your avoid/accuracy significantly, the equipment statistics help more in my opinion. Strength, however, does have a great impact because it raises your max hit. So what I mean is, even if you get 99 in all combat stats, you'll still feel as weak as you do now. Visit my Runescape comedy website, based on in-game screenshots.

topman Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 its all about luck i reckon, had a fight in cw with a lvl 123 in blessed d hide chaps (the red ones) i owned. lvl 90 comes to me in full rune i get pwned in 2 hits; a 31 and a 30. (btw im lvl 99 in torags) if its player vs player and theyre meleeing use ancients and when they pray get in there with a dds. or you can just try to mix and match both offence and defence 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matok Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 First, fire giants are not the ideal subject for testing ur deffence since these guys hits hard no matter what u do/wear/drink Second,use pots(super-sets), and dont wait till they completly drain to take the next dose. Third, Just to prove this is all in ur mind,go to the fire giants in the metal-dragon dungeon, switch worlds till u see a high level player there (lvl 110+). Start slayering side by side with him and count the kills over 30 min,( if he tells u "switch worlds u noob" just tell him ur on experiment here and he will understand and wont bother u :D. ) I am sure the differences wont be dramatic...

Mayjest Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 If I want to comparemy strength, I merely look at how I was when I started - using full steel armour (the best I could make) to take on Goblins. Now I can 1 or 2 hit them with no armour, and very little cost to my health. So I'm not terribly concerned about how weak I am. As I higher level, you fight higher level monsters, and they're always gonna hit you. If you're wearing max defense equipment and get hit by a <10 level npc, then start worrying. Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is!

Dalcyte Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 yeah...i think the line that sums it up pretty well is: the grass is always greener on the other side. a lvl 126, who has the best stats in the game, will sometimes envy other players because he's not hitting, and those other players will envy him for obvious reasons.

Lord Diddy Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yeah, its odd, when im super potted and use a dds special i rarely hit. Also im a bit lower in your stats, might i suggest a mix of attack str and defence? at duel arena i really pwn with fighter torso (str) warrior helm(attack) and veracs skirt (defence+prayer), with a whip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaddd Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'm a level 73 skiller. I always feel weak. Sure, I can hit the occasional 12's and 15's, but still. I don't have a problem with having a weak character. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbfgraphx14 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I have 79 attack 71 stregth and 70 defence. I always get owned boxing. I don't get it, where is my attack level?

Peronix Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yeah even with 99 attack I feel weak. I still hit lots of zeros vs barrows armor... it's so frustrating... And also right after I got 99 attack I went to duel arena, some 126 challenged me to a fun... he k0d me in two dds specials through my barrows armor. OUCH.

timmay929 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Well, Fire Giants do hit through pretty much anything. Maybe you should try something a little lower level, which isn't as strong. 122 Combat : 99 Hits : 99 Attack : 99 Strength97/99 Defence : 99 Fletching : 99 Woodcutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 You probably weren't "warmed up." Go win 2-3 matches in the fight pits or a busy game of CW then go back and see how well you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
