Requesting good info on Initiate pures

Yo

havn't played for a long time (2007) but i've been contemplating a return. Just before i quit, after bh update i decided to get 20 def & 70 atk on my 60 atk p2p pure to turn him into init pure, i made him perfect initiate pure at the time but need information on the curent 20 def situation.

stats:


Combat = 92

Items <- are these still the best?
wep = whip/dds/dharock/d2h/godsword?
off hand = mith defender?
boots = climbers? (do they cost $ now?)
ring = recoil
gloves = Addy? (i done nature spirit etc)
cape = fire (can not come back and get after death now?) or 99 (T preferable)
head = init helm
chest = init chest
legs = init or black d hide

Questions:
Are Init pures still popular/competative?
How much have the items/techniques changed?
Are they getting pwned by tanks/rune pures?
Is (1 item keep worlds) dominated by godswords?
Is (0 item keep worlds) dominated by 1 iteming idiots?
Should i use 1 atk, 40 atk or 50 atk pure instead?

how much is a godsword a necessity? unfortunatly i lent account to friend and he basically lost everything (& 5 def levels >.<), I can probably get 10m-ish for pking supplies but don't think i can be botherd getting 90m+ for godsword & supplies.

Thanks for the help

yes, you can no longer pick up your fcape after you die. so unless you dont plan on dying i recomend you use your str cape. losing a cape is terrible, ive lost 5 in total >.<

1. yes they are "competative" if you know what you are doing
2. to my knowledge not that much outside of claw rushing. just whip + dds + veng
3.every level gets PWN3D by range tanks. with d bolts they own pretty much everyone.
4. yes and claws aswell.
5. no, 1 itemers mass in +1 worlds
6. no

and if you are going to use a godsword get an ags, the others blow for pking.

and if you can get turmoil (95 prayer / 200m / 2k zeal ) its hard and expensive but worth it.

 

thanks very much Zip, But you have raised many more questions.

what is this turmoil/95+ prayer? does it require a certain def level?
Venge is still limited limited to 40 def? (so just another bonus for tanks)
also i remember hearing something a while ago about using herblore to create some kind of special str pot that can only be used by the maker, any info on that?

thanks for help on 1 items, i completly forgot about claws.

So if 1 itemers hang out in +1 worlds, whose pking in loose everything worlds? im happy to risk a whip but the average pker is a pixle hugging monkey, have the resorted back to scims? or just damn range tanks?

 

Turmoil is a new kick-ass prayer, but only for rune-pures. http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Turmoil

Yes. Vengeance is still limited to 40 defence.

The new potions cannot be used in PvP worlds.


You shouldn't pk on +1 worlds, since they're full of 1 itemers, and also, many people use whips, many people use Dscims. Your call which you use.

 

thanks for the info - appreciate it.

 

If you have a gs you would dominate +1 and if your good enough you could easily own 40 def pures as long as there not much higher lvl then you

 

25 def is unappealing at the least, get 35 defense for turmoil....you don't need 40 this kid ^ just has down syndrome

 

thanks for correction, turmoil would be great ~

it's not so much the *10 def levels that are putting me off, can't be bothered getting 95 prayer, think my training days are behind me.

 

Well, you asked info on initiate pures, and I stated that you can't get turmoil on them. tits or gtfo

 

intiate are worthless, who ever said zerkers get owned by intiate are completely wrong. Zerker get 1 important thing, Veng, so I suggest u get 40 def for veng.

 

Unfortunately for you I agree with the guy above me. 45 def is the way forward imo. Turmoil is worth it if you can get it but not necessary, no one your level is going to have it anyway. You don't realliy NEED a godsword, whip + dds still owns, though AGS would help somewhat.

But yeah, pretty much the best thing to do imo is to get 45 def + venge

 

Honestly, if you want an account that just destroys, 95 prayer zerkers are the way to go, but they take way more time. An ini pure w/ rune gloves is a really strong pure that has good maxes with it's dragon dagger specials. When you have a target you should really think about using statius or vestas body gear.
It's also good to hybrid.
