training a pure

this may sound like a dumbass question but nowadays im being forced to legit train (gf bots) and i despise training melee skills with a passion so i have 2 questions.

i have 50 att and 50 strength

1. should i get 60 att or strength first?

2. what weapon should i use? and on what monster

the reason i ask about question 2 i because i was looking over gmace stats and speed and it is only a notch slower than rune scim. im doin a turmy zerker if that matters.

thanx

 

Strength ... remember attack and defence should be quested to the max before being trained.

Rune scim/slayer staff/sacred clay staff should be solid choices.

 

defence is all quested but i dont see why you would go out of your way to quest att... and basically im askin y not gmace?

 

Most pures limit their attack like their defence.

In short, the DPS of a granite mace is slower than a rune cimitar. Plus, the monsters you train on probably wouldn't be that strong.

 

but brine > rune scim regardless and i doubt i could quest over 75 at 50 :s

 

Attack is such a severely under rated skill. I would not mind having 85 or 90 or even 99 on a zerker.

 

1. 60 strength
2. Monks

 

With your attack that high, your combat level would be too high. You'd be fighting barrows pures that would easily tear through a zerker

 

Not necessarily, ever heard of wtf elvemage? He had no problem with barrows pures. The high attack of the zerker usually counters the def or a barrows pure.

 

but if u r fighting barrows pures then they would have lower...melee stats...i just think it would be hard to quest 75 att in the first place

 

Keep 60/75 attack, preferably 60 tbh.

Anything above 75 and as stated above, you'll come against barrows pures (or even sorrows) who will absolutely tear through you.

 

60 attack but make sure it's quested.

 

60 attack and quest it!
Uh, I say keep attack to 60 and just raise strength from there, or you could get a 90/90 build which works pretty well.

 

have you done things like, fight arena? and i would get like 65 str^ before attempting attack, and i would go for brine sabre at rock crabs with cb brace climbing boots and str ammy.
