Pures: Higher HP or Lower HP?

[dbowpker]

Which do you think is better? In terms of PKing, not staking.

Right now my level 52 has 73 range 63 mage and 55 HP (with 26pray (for now)).

i am using soul wars and attacking players to keep activity bar up. i have about 100 zeal which will get me around 77 range.
my irl friends are doing the same, we are about the same level and plan on getting 85 mage and 85+ range.

we will be team pking

what do you recommend/prefer? is my hp compared to my combat level and stats fine or should i start just using band-aids on other people in soul wars to avoid getting HP?

for team, hp is deffinately a boost.
I'd suggest getting 30 slayer to attack pyrefeilds which will give you more range and hp exp per hour. (prolly enough hp)
I have 67 hp level 59, 85 range/magic, 60 att 67str 13 pray. Its enough hp

Let me put it this way. All the amateur pures have low hp compared to their other stats.

All the pro pures has high hp, to be able to survive the amateur pures with low hp, and high strength.

Which one do you want to be?

thats bull shit ^^^^^^ the "pros" have maxed pures because they want to dominate zerks and mains

i have pked since 04 im currenty training a pure and its got

85 range
80 strength
85 magic
44 prayer
64 Hitpoints

and im not a amateur in the slightest so it depends what you wanna do

clan pking or single what level wildy aswell determines what your hp level should be

look at my pure im an amazing pker as ive done it that long only get hp once your pure is getting closed to max simple as

 

[Iusedtobegood]

by the way i intend on getting 85 hp at 90 str 99 range 99 mage

reason im getting highish hp is so i can go deap wildy hybridding and clan pking

If you making a pker then hp should be average
IF you making a staker hp should be as high as possible
If you making a rusher hp should be pretty low but not low enough to be rusherd very easily yourself. 55-65 should be fine

^^ very well put <3

I honestly laugh at Pkers with ridiculously low hp, I'm not sure how they think it's a good thing? You're 2x easier to kill and you're not gonna get more kills with your few strength levels 'cause you'll be eating every 2 seconds. I suppose you could rush and and hope noone has auto-retaliate on and accidentally kills you. =| At least have a reasonable HP level.

I prefer high hps Ive been pking for almost 8 years. People who actually Pk with low hp get own by hp people. I've got 4 pures and none of them are low hp, even at an low level. I was pking on my turm pure before it was turm and he was 60 60 1 44 prayer and 84 range around 75 hp 63 cb. Most low hp pures died easy I like fighting people with higher stats if u win it Shows u van actually Pk.

Quoted for the truth.

Each HP level gives you 0.25 cb levels.
Each strength/attack level (if your melee based) gives 0.325 cb levels.
Each range/mage level (if your range/mage based) gives 0.4875 cb levels.

It's your choice if you decide to take the 5 range levels over the 8 HP levels.

I personally am a rusher and don't plan on staying on combat for too long, thus my HP is around 55 at level 59 cb. I die very easily, and constantly have to watch my HP to avoid getting Koed. However, I'm also one dangerous motherfucker myself, hitting 322's with maul and 384s with ice barrage (vecna skull).

Pure ranger's when trained in the old fashioned ways usually end up with a shitload of HP, more than they need imo, so when I make one I usually have it 3-4 HP levels lower than everyone else my level in exchange for a few extra range.
