Initiate pures suck. No difference really when it comes to 70+ attack, and a whip. They get merked by 1 defence pures. I say if you get at least rune gloves, do lunar, become a Rune pure. They always dominate at 90+ combat, due to str bonus + the defence.
If you report this, then fuck you, seriously. I may have said they suck, but I also gave back what I think you should do.
