Need Ranged Tank Advice HERE

thanks...

 

Trying post this here: http://sythe.org/forumdisplay.php?f=238

But some friendly advice, I advise that you max out your Range, Defence, Constitution, and then get 73 Prayer. Perfect for Pking.

 

A lot of tanks are usually:
70 att
70 str
99 def
99 range
52/74/95 prayer
99 mage
99 hp

70 att and 70 str is the highest melee stats that a "true" tank can have.

Do RFD and get barrows gloves
Get 80 dung for chaotic crossbow
Work towards a Spectral.

 

I just recently turned an account into a tank (had a great start with 99 range 99 mage).

-75 atk (SoL)
-Keep str low to thwart turmoil (Mine is 61)
-70/75 Def (Im saving up for a divine so I'm going for 75)
-99 Hp
-74/77 Pray (I'm going for 77 for Augury, but for edge purposes 74 for Rigour)
-99 Range (Duh?)
-94/99 (94 if edge 99 if hybrid)

Puts my tank at lvl 101 (Perfect for downing turm pures and zerkers)

[Edit] Also don't waste your time getting a chaotic x-bow, the wait to get rigour/augury is enough. + theres alot better stuff you want to slot than a little more range bonus, because with 99 range +Rigour your GOING to hit, and its going to be hard. Add in a Divine and your the biggest asshole walking around edgeville.

 

You need vengeance to range tank, it's essential.

94 magic / Lunar Diplomacy (quest).

Other than that, get 99 range and 70 (or 75) defense. Use the best gear you can afford and work your way toward a Divine spirit shield.

 

These should be your perfect stats

99 defence
74 Prayer
99 Range
94 Mage
Low strength/attack around 70 max!

If you don't want to get 99 defence get around 75 for a divine/dfs

 

Get attack str like 70-80, not over 80 though, 99 range, 99 def, 99 magic and 77 pray Then PK with voids and virtus, thats fucking epic!

 

The stats I would use are:
99 Range
99 Constitution
99 Defence
94+ Mage
75 Attack
74 Prayer (Rigour is awesome.)
99 Summoning

Put your strength at whatever level you want, as long as it's not above 74 you won't be melee based combat.

With 99 range, you need 149 total attack and strength levels to start gaining combat levels from melee. I recommend very low strength to weaken turmoil, or you can get high enough that you can use a melee spec weapon. It depends what you like.
