I don't think Obsidian weapons would pose much a threat. They're weak, except the maul, which apparently is slow.

But seriously, nobody stakes with prayer on, potions on, unless again, you're referring to fun-duels, which is not worth spending super pots on nor letting your barrow items corrode in unneeded battles.

The only time you'd use something else than Verac in duels, is when shields/helms are off.

Considering how most Verac stakers have 70 45 70, I have totally no idea why you regard it as an offensive style. Unless you mean being a tank is all about recieving 0s and dealing 0s as well. Which is pointless. Seriously.

"BY POPULAR DEMAND BY THE OFFENSE OBSESSED GOONS WHO ALL USE PURES THEMSELVES AND NOT TANKS..."

Hello, Mr. Flamebait.

apparently there's no pleasing you... listen, i added in a small bit about verac's for you, and i actually considered your opinion, which you said i wouldn't do. but, you need to be a little more thorough on your research.

obsidian knife has +8 over the dds for its highest accuracy, and -1 str.
obsidian split sword is a short sword, not a longsword. so you can't compare the two. yes, almost nobody in their right mind uses a short sword.
obsidian mace has +2 to accuracy over d mace, and +1 to strength.
the obsidian maul is a wonderful thing, because it has no accuracy requirement, just strength. its about the same speed as a dragon 2 hander, and only a little weaker strength wise, but is able to be used long before the d2h is. the downside being that it is very inaccurate, and has very few hitting opportunities. so it's best used for combat on very low leveled players, and mostly by pure str accs... the ones that don't think accuracy means anything. (it is funny to see a first time player using a balanced level 50 acc get 2 hit'd by someone 5 levels lower than them =P)

comon killerz, you're a smart guy... if you want results in the style you use, then just subtract 15% of the damage off those values to eliminate prayer if you use dba effect, and 35% off to eliminate prayer and potions if you use potions to get up instead.

DDS is only used for its special attack. Knife doesn't even have a special attack. One down.

Two down.

Never seen any d2h/maul vs whip duels in which whip loses. That's right, only useful in the lower levels.

the downside being that it is very inaccurate, and has very few hitting opportunities. so it's best used for combat on very low leveled players, and mostly by pure str accs... the ones that don't think accuracy means anything.

This is starting to look exactly like a the religious topic from the sandbox and everybody knows how that topic ended.

In this topic(http://forums.rsbandb.com/viewtopic.php?t=50316) which seems to be the root of all evil for this one all I wanted were small TIPS and some stat RECOMENDATIONS for what I should be shooting for in building my pure and not some circle of infinate arguements.

Also I wasn't expecting someone to make a guide either but thats okay since its atleast a good guide.
