AN F2P PKING QUESTION, please read/answer

[-Auzzie-]

Hey guys i was just wondering...

with the stats of:
65 combat
40 atk
95 str
90 rng
1 def/pray

what would be better in f2p pking?

scim/2h
or
range/2h?



please post your opinion.

Range/2h for sure.
You can shoot arrows pretty rapidly and your 2h hits almost instantly if you pull it out and spam click your opponent.

so even at a high lvl range/2h is still best?

 

[Chapfallen]

This is extremely controversial. it honestly depends on what your doing. I got a pure thats level 55, 83 str/soon to be 82 range. you probably automatically think that i range/2h, but thats not the case. it really depends on how you like ko-ing people. range/2h can be good if you use the 2h correctly, i.e. delaying it, making it less noticeable, compared to scim/2h, where the switch to the 2h is obvious. i think scim/2h is a better choice if you really dont care to do much besides eat and click them, and 2h when they get low hp, which usually guarantees a ko if they get redbar'd. range/2h takes some skill, so its really up to you in the end. both methods will guarantee kills though.

thanks and wtf how do u have 83 str and 82 range at lvl 55 cb?

im 84 str and 80 range at 58 cb?

edit* another question...
is 95 str and 90 range good at lvl 65?
would i be better than most other pkers or is it just normal?

I would say scim/2h. I've noticed a lot of people switching over to scim/2h at about cmb 50/55. If your still not sure, try both for a bit. Which ever one works best use

Definitely range 2h...

The DPS is higher for range + if you time your 2h switch right (not hard at all) you can "double hit"

Considering you hit like 15's with addies and around 25-30 with 2h, you could KO someone with 400+lp. Most people don't eat until around 300 if you let the fight go for a while without using 2h.

kk thanks guys i guess ill stick wit rng/2h

 

[malakadang]

What everyone else said, range 2h. However you could try to train a bit of magic to spice things up, doesn't effect your Combat + is really easy to train.

Range/2h in my opinion.
At higher lvl you'll meet more def accounts and I find range hitting much more accurate than does the scimmy into the def. But that's just my opinion.

People range 2h me and im a 116 in f2p. It is very effective especially at 90 range 95 str cb 65. Thats a beast ass account

I sw/range guild...
anyway, even though alot of these people are saying range/2h.. i really think scim/2h is much easier for getting ko's. say you are scimming someone, and they are at 230 hp lets say... if you scim a 200+, they only have 30 hp left, and can only eat once more, to 180 hp for this example, before your 2h hits them, which almost guarantees a ko

^This. The only problem I would say is the delay from switching. With range/2h it's almost instant, scim/2h takes a lot longer. If you get your opponent extremely low like in the example above, I would say you should be fine with the delay.

 

[Call me Mike]

I personally like range at a low level. Since the food (swordfish) heals a lot considering the usual amount of hp I rather have a higher dps.

For example, let's say your opponent has 50hp, and is using swordfish. Swordfish heals 14, 28% of his total hp to begin with. If that person has 85hp, only 16%. Quite a big difference.

So having a weapon that takes a lot of damage often at a lower level is better than have a slower weapon even if it does a little more damage. That delay allows your opponent to heal a lot higher percentage of his total hp.

thanks chapfallen u gave a good example, lol i was just gonna stay range 2h but after that idk im back to being lost, guess theres no real answer, its just a matter of opinion, so ill just train range and see how i like both
