Pures

Hey guys, how do you think the combat update will effect pures? Obviously nobody really knows, but in you're opinions what kind of pures do you think will still be effective? And what kind of pures do you think will just go to trash?

Explain please!

Thanks.

 

To be honest I think all low defense pures will take a big hit. Seeing that all armour will get LP boosts this can only disadvantage pures. That makes sense, also because Jagex never wanted there to be purse in the first place.

 

They never expected there to be pures, Since they are now more money based they Prefer more player base, so if pures brings in more membership and players. I'm quite sure they would welcome pures.

 

Well idk.. but im just debating if i should make either a range tank, a turmoil/rune pure/zerk, or maybe a barrows pure. Any ideas?

 

All low defense pures will be dominated. However, 40+ defense should still be effective.

To simply answer your question, no one really knows what will happen with the combat update.

I wouldn't go do anything drastic, ruining a pure, etc, until the update actually comes.

 

they've said on a video they want to make people max... by giving people with defence buffs that can heal overtime and make yourself harder to hit. I don't think pures will be ruined just maybe at a massive disadvantage!

 

i started making my pure about a month ago and then this stupid update came out and i have been wondering the same thing is it even worth continuing it because how many players have mains and pures. If pures arent effective jagex can say good bye to half they're monthly revenue like they did when they removed wildy

 

If pures are massively disadvantaged, they are essentially ruined.

 

Well that depends .. if it's a pure vs another pure with 1 defence then I can't see how buffs to defence are going to be any diffrent?

 

Do you believe everything you hear?

J-Mods are notorious for saying things that don't actually happen, not to mention it is a "beta" which essentially means "test". Nothing is official yet.

 

Even if pures are disadvantaged. Skill > Stats we will out play these def kids.

 

well i had a j-mod personally tell me that it might be a wise decision too raise your defence before the combat update, so im contemplating on that right now lol, hes near maxed and 3 def so.... i might just get def cause anything but 1 is smufgly

 

Your right if is a test but even If the players don't like it jagex never go back on there word so it's abit of false hope your having there matey

 

Also the way they will be calculating combat essentially will rune pures also
