A bit of a dilemma

Definetely worth it imo, 3 combat levels won't make much of a difference

 

Thanks for all your comments, I have now got 52 prayer and it owns

 

i think you should get 99 magic first then 90+ range at soulwars then get pray because pures at 79 cb are maxed 99 str 99 range 99 mage + 70 attack at times

 

i agree with every one get 90ranged then 52prayer, then just gold farm for claws and pk supplies then go whoop someee

 

you have to weigh out the outcome

Posotives:
Smite
15% mage+range
Better for clanning
Better for bridding
Easier training
More Rune l00t

Negative:
More defence
High level pures are much more experienced and are less likely to pray drop, although smite helps
