attack is too underpowered

besides allowing you to wield certain weapons, i think attack is pointless.
theres not a huge difference between 60 attack and 85 attack and jagex should fix this
they should make your hits A LOT more accurate with higher attack levels

 

yh it sure is im 99 attack and i hit but not enough

 

Nothing wrong with it...

 

LMFAO? I notice a big difference in hit frequency the higher your attack is.

For that reason, I value attack a ton more than I value strength. Any pure I have ever had (with the exception of my black pure from RSC) has had higher attack than strength, and has owned ANYONE anywhere near the same level as it. Strength nerds are gonna flame me now

 

welcome to runescape, first off i will tell you how to make a pure. first get 60 attack because there is no point in getting any extra attack levels because it is underpowered and it pointless

 

80 at the most, Chaotics are beast for any pure.

 

Did you ever think that defense is overpowered?

 

in my opinion defense is fine, same with strength. but attack is nothing

 

I wonder why ex. Boxing staker train attack then, when the precious levels could be used elsewhere? Unless it matters.

Try to kill a, say, Black Knight with 1 attack & iron scimitar. Now go do the same with 99 attack & iron scimitar. Which hits more frequently? Thought so.

 

you ever wonder why pures stay 60 attack? because getting more attack levels is the biggest waste of combat levels there is

 

Thing is i think attack an defence are proportional at the moment, because if you have 60 attack and your versing someone with 60 defence you will hit a an average amount, but when you have 99 attack and your versing 60 defence you will hit more often.. its how runescape has always worked get used to it..

 

They stay 60 attack because they have butt love for strength, so are willing to get 99 in that. But when it comes to ANYTHING ELSE THAT WILL RAISE THERE COMBAT LEVEL (with the exception of HP MAYBE), they figure they can do without it because it is "not needed"

Like I said before, which you ignored like a FAIL, every single account I have made has WRECKED IN THE WILDERNESS because of their HIGH ATTACK LEVELS.

With your repetative posts, you just seem like a troll. I'll dumb myself down to your level:

Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

u stop at 70 attack for whip.
gs

 

your just mad because your gay for attack and im saying that attack is not worth anything

 

You're not the only person to notice this, besides leveling to wield weapons I too don't see much difference in it.

It's under-rated, should be raised.

 

I'm upset because you provide no argument in reply to mine. You simply spam with "Attack is underpowered, k?"

Oh, wait, I mean, Errrrrrr EEEEEHHHH AWWWWW DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ERRRRR

 

Reason why most pures stop at 60 attack is that they're fine with dds/dscim/dclaws. Have you heard of pures getting 75 attack? I think they're called... godsword pures. Just that the majority of players get 60 attack is because the majority of players can't afford godswords and/or don't know how to pk with godswords. Only in pking is attack useless because pking is where you try to KO your opponent and thats done with HIGH HITS. Strength increases max hit and therefore it's raised to the highest level possible in pures.
In staking or PVM, attack allows more consistent hits and therefore people who stake or do things other than solely pk raise their attack beyond 60.

The current combat system is fine in P2P. The only valid argument I see is F2P where rune weapons rarely hit on full rune armor, but that won't be solved by increasing 'attack'.

 

I'd rather knock someone out of the fight with constant 350's than the occassional 400 :S

You do have a valid point about F2P to an extent, although mostly in higher level PK'ing where everyone is maxed anyways...

 

Everybody likes hitting constant high hits, but it's extremely unlikely. Imagine how 'fun' pking would be if the majority of people were able to constantly hit high hits.

Even in f2p, full rune has like +200 on all defensive stats. Assuming 99 atk v 99 def, the +45 slash bonus on the rune scimi will rarely hit. Think of it like this, the majority of medium leveled pkers (100-110) use some form of rune armor while pking. That's against weapons that have higher attack bonuses.
Everybody in f2p (that's not no arming) use rune armor, against the +45 slash of rune scimi.
But I can't complain too much, I range/2h

 

I made my max zerker a main because of the difference from 75 attack and 99 attack, which was nothing, also with turmoil and 99 atk i still seemed 2 be hitting not often at all
