20 Defence Pure - F2P Mayhem!

As you have been wondering about the combat beta, I have some information on F2P.

The BEST pure in my opinion would be a Range/Mage hybrid with 20 Defence.

Why? Because they can wield studded armour and spider silk armour.

After that would be 30 Defence, but there is no new magic armour, only the new ranged armour, Carapace.

40 Defence, of course, Green D'hide, but NO new magic armour?

And there's 50 Defence, which has NO new range armour but an intriguing batwing armour.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

- Unlocks both Range and Magic armour at 20 Defence
- Better than 1 Defence because of HP boost
- Lower combat, so you can target mains and pure alike
- You can mage people in Armour and Range people with less defence

Cons:

- Less hitpoints than 50 Defence

MELEE
No duel-wielding for F2P
Ring of Devotion has no stats (unsure whether or not this is a glitch)

There is NO duel wielding for F2P, which makes melee less effective.




Also

PRAYER
Level 44: Overpowering Force: Increases Ranged strength
Level 45: Overcharge: Increase Magic strength
Eagle Eye and Mystic Might only increases Range / Magic accuracy now

______________________________________________________

There are brand new prayer that increase Range and Magic strength, and Prayer doesn't affect combat level.

If you were to make this kind of pure, I would recommend:

80 Ranged
80 Magic
20 Defence
As high HP as possible (possible SW for HP)
45 Prayer+ (I would say 60+ if you're rich)
Melee is an option, but won't be as effective.

Please note that this is only for F2P, P2P will be much more complicated and melee will most likely be the most effective.

 

Not bad, Well thought through. Goodjob.

 

Nice info , so would that mean a maxed 20 def pure would wreck? 40 defers easily? Or only multi poking wise

 

Good ideas tbh going to make one like that

 

Wow the EoC looks a lot more difficult to understand lol so many new stuff :O :O :O Thanks for the guide on making a new acc though Maybe ill make one of my pures into a 20 def pure and destory some people in F2P

 

No problem guys. I think this build would only be effective in F2P, because P2P is a lot more complicated and melee would own (dual wielding, chaotics etc.)

But in F2P it will be a lot easier to use range/mage.

If you come to the point where you feel the account is as good as it gets, you can:

Train up the skills until 99 (not needed, but works better)
Train up dungeoneering until you can afford gravite shortbow and staff (would make magic hit a lot more and range a little bit more accurate)

At low levels, it would be more effective, since the average rune pure would have 50 attack, 50 strength and 50 defence. You would have 80 ranged and magic with 20 defence.

And this goes on:

90 ranged 90 mage 20 defence > 60 attack, 60 strength and 50 defence

99 ranged 99 mage 20 defence > 69 attack, 69 strength and 50 defence

The EoC is very complicated, however, it is more easier to understand in F2P, and of course there will be some noobs pking in F2P, which you could easily own.

I think this build would wreck most, if not all types of characters in F2P, unless Jagex change anything to do with the combat beta.

I'm making a pure at the moment, it has 65 Ranged and once I get 80, I'll start collecting zeals for Constitution levels.

Since F2P don't have rocktails, the maximum hitpoints for a 1 defence pure would be 100-990, which would suck, making them obsolete in PvP.

 

TBH - I would rather quit, than gain levels on my F2P beast:

This is a cute thread, excluding the fact that no one knows what the combat update will actually be like since it is a beta.

Making a pure around something no one knows anything about isn't the smartest idea someone has ever had. Beta's can be changed at any time, to make a pure strictly around the idea that we're having a combat rework is silly. No one even knows yet if they're going to keep an old server or not, don't waste your time making a pure till the actual time it's released.

P.s there is already a thread for this. http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1409244

 

I know, I will be sticking to 1 defence and 1 prayer until the actaual Combat Update comes into place

I know there's a thread, but this isn't really questions, it's more of a proposition.

When the combat beta comes into place, I'll most likely make a guide.
