February 19, 200719 yr Strength determines your max damage, Attack determines chances of hitting higher. Slash Stab Crush values affects accuracy, somewhat like Attack? Whereas Mage and Ranged level can individually affect the accuracy and damage of your magic and range? So isn't attack something useless? They could have renamed strength and called it melee, and your melee level would then be similar to mage and ranged level? :wall: In addition, melee fighters have amulets that gives str bonus, which increases their MAX damage. Since magic damage depends on spell type so that's out of the point, but do rangers have that? Equipments besides bow and arrows that gives ranged att bonus?

February 19, 200719 yr Actually... Attack = Chance to hit. Strength = Damage dealt. A man who doesn't read, is no smarter than a man who can't read.
February 19, 200719 yr ...So isn't attack something useless? They could have renamed strength and called it melee,... Kinda off topic, but a "pureish" Ranger or Mage can only reach combat level 109. Having Strength and Attack at 99 allows you to reach 126
February 19, 200719 yr Author Actually... Attack = Chance to hit. Strength = Damage dealt. But attack doesn't affect range and mage right? How accurate you hit with a bow depends on range (not range attack) bonus. So my point is, why the need for attack to determine your chance to hit high? Just like mages don't need a 'magic attack' stats to determine how well they hit. A high magic level would lead to increased chance of hitting high already.

February 19, 200719 yr ...So my point is, why the need for attack to determine your chance to hit high?... Because that's the way that Jagex designed the melee system. We might not like it, we might not agree with it, but, until Jagex changes it, we have to live with it...
February 19, 200719 yr It's like your power versus your technique. A body builder could suck at fighting because all he can do is punch things hard, while someone trained in fighting but that is not as strong would land more blows, but not be as deadly.
