What is the benefit of a 1 def Pure?

As you can tell, I'm new to pures and PKing

So yeah what is the benefit of a 1 def pure?

 

Well if ur a member then theres pretty much nothing bc there are WAY better pures and options of equipment thats better than rune such as dragon. but on f2p the main reason people have low def is so that they can have another stat really high (str or range for example) whilst maintaining a low combat lvl.

 

so you can hit high and own people. you cant go monster hunting or anything though

 

correct me if im wrong, but I believe people only had 1 def pures for staking at duel arena. fighting with no armour set gives you an advantage.

1 def mages worked really well as you could have 99 magic at like 60 something combat. tho now that duel arena has been raped, theres no piont.

 

You hit much harder and stronger than people at the same combat level but with defense. The trade off is that you also get hit more consistently as well.

Think stim packs.

 

I like to have them to show off. A 1 def account with 99s is impressive to me. They are also good for quick ko's. Not so well for long fights though, you just have to make sure to hit em hard, fast.

 

Hit hard with strength pure but basically the down side is your easily hurt.

 

Well then I'm going on the right track

My aims for my Pure
99 Strength
60 Attack
1 Defence.

 

The point is to hit as high as you can aiming for a KO at the lowest CB level.
1 def allows you to stay at a low CB.

 

Low cb

 

The lowest combat that hits the highest

 

Offense > Defense.

Own them too fast that you wont need any defense.

 

GL man, and I'm pretty sure there ain't allot of them around.

 

Yeah most of them train mage and range
and some do prayer :/

 

Pures were designed to hit high at low levels. They also have combinations of high stats to use in conjunction with other weapons/items. (I.e., G maul Blitzer/ DDS Blitzer)

 

- You spend WAYY less on supplies
- You have to do LESS quests
- Lower CMB lvl Wiith High stats.
- Pures Are Unique
- Pures OWN ehehe

 

another benefit is that you actually have to think slightly more as to what your wearing to balance out your stats to your equipment properly t give the best overall bonuses to rape in all combat styles

 

Many reasons.

PROS

When you die you lose way less money. If you die with 1 def and iron you lose 798 GP. If you die with 70 defence and barrow you lose 2M+

You can hit higher at a lower level

You can have 50 attack 70 strength and 1 defence
or you could have 40 attack 50 strength 40 defence (Roughly)
so at 1 defence you use better weapons, hit more often, and hit higher

CONS

You get hit ALOT
Some common RS tasks become harder
Limits quests you can complete

 

lower combat level, so you can take on equally leveled people, but you will have better offensive stats

 

Now look at it like this

hitting 30s at like 60 combat with melee

having like str in the 90s while only like 70 some combat.
