The average Initiate pure would be in mid bh anyways, so getting 20 defence would be a waste, when u could just get 50-70..
No pures are no good in BH. All pures get owned by your average 'mains' anyday. Unless your pure has like 99 str or range or whatever. But you best bet would to get 70 defence, as said by lllllllllll.
Initiate pures are great imo. but i would stay 1 defence rather then 20 defence and be like lvl 80 in mid crator when u can be lvl 67 in low crater and own everyone.
initiate pures are pwnage for their longer lasting prayer. but if your going for 65 def. just get 70..
70 defence is well worth it for the barrows, -4 str is worth all the barrows armours but tanks own all in bh, hands down. in members what would do better 99 def 99 range 99 prayer 99 hp or 90 att 99 str 70 def 70 pray 99 hp? hands down the range tank who you care barely hit as the diamond e bolts destroy you. range dominates bh and melee only wins by ko unless the ranger is a noob or underequipted
