Strength Pures

The common F2P setup for a Strength pure is 40 attack, 99 strength(maxed) and 1 defence. Would it be recommended to drop the 1 defence and move to 40? Would your combat level really be that greatly differed. Would the bonuses really affect your PVPing?

 

ide stay at 1 def but hey up to you

 

Can you give me a reason Hell?
If your combat level would only be around level 60 or 70, what is the benefit of staying at a lower defence level?

 

The benefit is that you stay a 1 Defence pure, thusly achieving a state of respect from your fellow players.

 

Well, I don't care what other people think. What is the in Runecape benefit of staying a 1 def pure?

 

you have to risk full rune when pking opposed to risking like maybe only a rune scim if your using scim/2h combo
also you will encounter a lot more def noobs (which will be awful to fight with 40 atk) with the cb lvls you gain from 40 def

 

Thank you for the criticism Wmoke. Why are def noobs hard to fight? They have low strength levels.....

 

Because their def is hard to hit

 

Well, they don't do much damage do they. If you have a full inv of food or brews its game over isn't it?

 

Brews in f2p?

And no def nerds toss in f2p. 40/99/1 with 80 hp doesn't even compare to 45/67/53 with 65 hp when the second one is wearing full rune, im serious, you will always have to run and if they are eating at a good hp you can't ko them when they have rune on.

40 def is pretty common, but keep in mind no pure will fight you when you're wearing rune. For no arming the 40 def is still a big advantage but most people think for the extra combat it's not worth it, remember it's still 10 extra combat levels. That's a lot.

 

20 defence is pretty rare and would be better than 1 defence and almost as good as 40 if u had higher attack and strength

 

how bout you think before you fuck up your account and get your range mage and pray up
become a member
join a clan
and your set...
dont fuck it up with defence..

 

low pray is what makes a pure

and he doesn't have an account thats 40/99/1 (correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the way the wording seemed.)

 

Yes, you are correct.
I'm running a 40/83/1 at the moment.
Pretty good.

 

I prefer getting attack up because with 40 attack your never going to hit through rune if you have to face it i suggest atleast 60 id stay 40 attack till maybe 75 str then get 60 then get 90 str then get 70 attack 99 str is best i think.

 

Demious where do you train your str at in f2p with 1 def?

And the advantages of staying 1 def is no1 asking to no arm you..its super annoying to waste combat levels on def if people are always asking to no arm.

 

Well, I'n pking, who give a shit what other people think. If they wan't you to no arm, kick the shit out of them and take some loot. Why, in a situation where I kill someone, would I care what they want?

 

I must ask, why are you asking people if you should stay one def when you sound yourself pretty assured of getting 40? You sound like you want 40, so why not just get it? 40 def is also pretty fun in P2p if you ever decide to get.

 

never second guess yourself go with 40 if thats what you want

 

No arming is just the standard way of f2p pking.. it's what everyone does.

If you are wearing full rune no pures will fight you and then you wont ever ko them, you'll just end up fighting other people for full runes and hitting a million 0's
