Get prayer. Smite out some claws son.

 

[v st4k3r v]

im considering it, because then i can get fire cape aswell..

There's a plus.

Most pures max out at 52 prayer anyway. So it's a good thing.

 

[v st4k3r v]

i guess..

 

[Kiros]

Well, 3 combat levels isn't to bad, with 99 strength you're still hitting really high. Though I would get your ranged to 90+ for sure.

 

[v st4k3r v]

what get 90+ range before 52 prayer? or after

 

[Kiros]

After, magic short to dds or claws is evil for 1 def pures.

 

[v st4k3r v]

ok bro ill do that i think thanks for your help =]

 

[Kiros]

No problem. Glad to be of assistance.

 

Just adding, make sure that you quest the prayer, and don't just bury/altar bones.

 

[v st4k3r v]

blade bro4 why is that?

He's right. Questing is better. For sure.

 

[v st4k3r v]

why is questing better? surely it does the same thing

 

"Questing" the stats means doing quests in which the rewards are experience for that skill.
The reasoning behind is that those quests are usually needed for low combat level pures or are prerequisites for better quests. For example, getting to experiments requires preist in peril and one other one... can't really remember atm.
It's useful for zerkers to quest their defence, dragon pures to quest their attack (dscim) and all pures to quest their prayer.

EDIT - if that's not clear... the quests give levels in which you don't want after you already get the level you need. Prayer needs to stay low, so imagine getting prayer at 52 (pure maxed) and then realizing you need to complete a quest for DT that raises it to 60.

 

[v st4k3r v]

that is a great explanation thanks!

Get smite. Its worth it

I had the same problem and couldn't figure out what to do. My pure has basically the same exact stats except for 90 range and 94 magic and I just went ahead and got smite

 

[Mikencloud]

Def do it, 3 combat levels doesn't really matter, unless staking, but still you wouldn't have pray to begin with in that case

get it, claws and mite=win
