Def Pures - still a thing?

[AnterosRS]

I've been seeing mixed opinions on RS about def pures. I initially started mine so that I wouldn't die while skilling, although WT has been rough with the rolled hits on higher HP. Plus, it takes forever to train since it's basically like splashing mage except 4xp/hit (3-6k xp/hr) so super slow.

Other than PKing or flexing low combat / high gear, have you found any real uses for def pures ?

Novelty, mini games are fun, Rc with eternal glory if your staying 35 cb, chins, dfs speccing bots, pet grind once 75 def

Yeah I started by not wanting to die while skilling in certain areas, now it's definitely more novelty. Also, i thought eternal glory didnt help much?

I feel that accounts (not necessarily zerks) with some defence levels are fun to play on. It gives you the room to do some bosses whilst enjoy pking

 

[Deliberant]

I’ve seen a few now and again

 

To be honest I think these make for fun mage pures. Especially now with more mage related gear for pking and pvm all you really gotta worry about is HP.

Def pures are weak

 

[ice cube]

def pures are very strong account once you find out the weaknesses and strong points + turning the weaknesses in strenghts

they are very good at skilling anywhere in the wilderness as well as transporting goods and valuebles in between accounts and holding supplies , furthermore excellent pkers and LURES for pkers in the black chin area, myself i hunt black chinchompas with them in full justiciar + i have a pk team on standby and a pure , regularly low lvl dbowers come at me and 1shot them basically with a dfs and get some loot cause they are braindead animals, its so funny like some people attack you and instantly regret it and run away, some people see $$$ and attack you and then u call the pkers to ur world and they get fucked so hard, i basically make 1m-1,5m/hr with chins 1-2ticking them and i get splits from pk's and a lot of fun, people cant resist the armour and wanna get it from you, for weaknesses mage is a obvious thing thats why i have a high magic resistance switchup instead or heavy armour cause they give negative mage defense, i use also 43 prayer for the protection prayers and +10% defense boost prayer which helps alot and would get me on 43 combat instead of 36 which is still very safe + i have many escape routes in case shit hits the fan most popular the hobgoblins just west of the chinchompas, as a def pure when u hit one, u cant kill them and wait out teleblocks while in combat and insult people while they tryhard, + when u walk out of the wilderness with pkers on ur ass like a badass u can keep swearing at them and make them feel weak and pathetic and they rage its so funny, u can do many things, + ur the obby maulers and low lvl pures biggest nightmare xD

you hit 1's 2's depending on ur gear + poison 6 + dfs hits 25 if u time everything u can make a sick knockout , but u should know ur weaknesses, u should have a few people to bodyguard you which is pretty easy to find cause pkers love a lure like a dfs tank to PM them some targets and get kills

other then fashionscape and skilling and have a unique throphy account is nice and feels good

so theres lot of uses other then the fact u can look fancy and wear cool armour as a cb 36 with 75 def and 64 hp

I have a defence pure i forgot the login and registered email to... GG

edit: but yes, they are still a thing go to edge monostary any world and you will see defence pures training there

 

[SillyFrog]

Like many have said, they're great for black chins and also for looting at revs/wilderness clan wars. If you can track down when 2 clans are fighting, you can make a nice profit while watching them pk. Pretty fun account to own and very easy to train, just takes time to level!

I've Seen Quite a Few Obby Tanks Coming out the Woodworks at GE PvP lately. Aswell as a few 75 def DFS spec pkers. But most are just novelty builds, kind of like a 15cb prayer acc with nothing else. More of a flex account than anything.

how dare you insult my people

 

[Excelz]

yes, I've seen a lot of them around and have one myself, I think they look amazing

 

[ob7ivion]

they're just one of those sort of 'novelty' pures as far as I know. not much use for it other than the uniqueness.

 

[GameGoods]

not really, I wish! Although dfs pures still work on black chin bots i believe.

Def purrs are great for looting wild

not really worth building such a long-term account solely for looting lmao

 

[toxjq]

Not as common but there are often clan clashes in rev cape, you can come out with couple mills

yes. but if a clan decides to attacks you, chances are, you're going to be pretty dead anyway. I'd rather use a level 3 so at least only low-level pures can attack you.

Ya that’s why the purse usually around 40-75 def and 43 prayer with 50 hp. With all other combat stats 1
