75/75 or 80/70?

[xOneDown]

I'm making a 99 def ranged tank, and I need your opinion:

80 attack <- for chaotics
70 strength

75 attack <- for godswords
75 strength

What do you guys think?

Thanks.

1/1 is better. No reason to get levels up other than using a whip for defense training; however, just know that having higher str and attack means an opponent's turmoil is more powerful.

Alternatiely, 1-80 is useful because it gives you the option of using Torva. I dont see much use in this, but its at least more useful than 75-75.

Well I plan on using melee for slayer and just stacking def exp past 99.

I realize 1/1 would be better but a) that completely eliminates tons of useful quests, and b) no fucking way I'm training all that defense without att/str.

but actually, I had never considered your attack and strength affecting your opponent's turm.. Good point, thanks.

1/1 is ideal (or LOW/LOW, allowing for exp to be gained by quests), but obviously it's not necessary. 80/70 is better than 75/75, tbh. For a damage per second weapon, Chaotic Rapier is a lot better than a whip (even if the whip had 10 strength points higher) and both are certainly better than a godsword. The only reason you want 75 attack is to possibly use an AGS spec for fun in PKing; however, with a strength so low, you're basically just wasting the special bar. (Also, the best build for dung exp is similar to a boxing account: high attack, medium strength, high defense, high HP. In this regard 80-70-99 would get pretty darn good dung exp/hr )

Also, I think adding them to 150 will make you melee-based. I think the sum of 149 keeps you ranged based--might want to double check to be certain.

Melee Based is 149+, I recommend 78/70, You can wield Zuriels Staff/SOL when Hybridding, strength levels aren't really needed since you're not a melee pker

 

[xOneDown]

Is there any disadvantage to being melee-based? or is it more just for looks?

 

[IndieKid]

I wouldn't suggest getting 99 defence if you're planning on pking a lot. It makes veng combos far too unreliable.

75 attack 57 strength. 75 attack for SOL hybriding, 57 str 'cause it's the lowest level you can do hand cannon's quest with(excluding extremes and overloads)

1/69 is the only use for a range rank.

69 for hand cannon.

Getting high str and attack only helps your turmoil friends.
