I'm debating between 2 and 20 Defence. I have a pure that is 60-76-2 99 Range, 86 Mage.

I'm sick of being 2 defence + I hate how it looks with the stats. I'm debating getting 20 defence or not so please vote, and post why.
 
stay 2 def, your still a good pure just doesnt look as good as 1 def.
 
I agree. Two defense just looks so tacky- If you were to raise it to 20, and did not like it, you could always turn the account into a 'Zerker Pure with 45 defense.

A 1 defence pure believes that when all stats and equipment are accounted for, having less armour and bonuses but higher stats will give their character the best advantage.

Level 20 defence pures are also called "Initiate Pures" or "Mystic Pures" because of the armour 20 defence allows them to wear. A 20 defence pure believes that the added defensive and attack bonuses that 20 defence armour affords them outweighs the stat advantages that 1 defence pures have. A pure that wears Initiate armour, in addition to defence bonuses, receives a Prayer bonus as well. Initiate pures are the least common of all the pures, but you will see many high-powered pures with 20 defence.

Many times a level 20 defence pure is created because so many mistakes occurred during their 1 defence phase, the added levels to 20 defence were worthwhile for them.

I have an initiate pure with 70-92-20 stats and when I have the time to get on, it's very fun to pk with. I rarely lose a fight and the advantage of wearing mystic robes means that ice blitz is very accurate.
 
PK'ing used to be great on 20 def pures before the update. I'd go to Green Drags and kill the level 70's or so. But after the update, I'd definitely say keep 2 defence. Too many 1 defence pures out there and 20 defence isn't really that much of an advantage against them.
