1 Defence, why?

Jasonmrc · **Posted:** March 21st, 2007, 5:37 pm

I'm just wondering what the point of having 1 defence on a pure is? if you want low cb don't do attack because attack raises it quicker then defence. Would someone(s) mind explaining to me why pures / hybrids do this?

Because they like to eat and hit high damage. They want attack so they can kill the opponent very fast before they get attacked and start getting ripped apart.

So pures like spending money and then teleing out when they find out their opponent has higher defence then their attack?

I can understand why they want high str.

The point of pures is able to deal maximum damage while managing to keep the lowest possible combat level. Since defence doesn't help to add any kind of damage they all keep at 1 to keep their levels low.

ok, maximum damage and low cb.

But that brings up another subject.

Why do they want low cb? Only high lvls have good items, do the pures try to take advantage of lvl 40 wildy+?

If they DO take it far enough they will get higher combat..

but usually if they keep low combat it's just for the fun of pking, I guess, I don't know..I don't like PKing :oops:

Pures stake or PK at low level wildy, if they going to fight a normal character (with equal stats, like defence/attack/etc..) they going to be much move overpowered which is going to make them an automatic winner. I hope that explained your question. Being the lowest possible common level=owning anybody who is same level as you are (maybe even a little bit higher, which makes it ideal for PKing).

It answers some. One more (atleast) still remains, whats the point of pking a lvl 50? They rarely have anything worth getting.

They're pretty much bullys (or should i say concentrated) against normal players of their lvl.

Well, about 50% of the time people make pures so they can have fun, pking is the only thing in runescape where you dont just click...click...click ... pking a lvl 50 in members could get you full black dragon hide, rune arrows, mage short, archer helm or maybe even a robin hood hat. In f2p you could pk full rune... and thats quite alot if your a meleer, it pays for the stuff you lose when you die.

I think pures and hybrids are all about making money. For example, if you have full iron...how much money do you lose if you die? Not much. But if you pk someone using full rune how much do you gain? Quite a lot. This concept applies across the board...and winning as a pure mostly means you hit your high hits.

Well, pures were first made for the sole purpose of killing normal players that wander into the wild. They keep they're defence at 1 so that they appear weaker because their combat is lower. Hence the normal player gets killed because they lack the combat skills that the pure had.

Pures nowadays are getting kindof useless now, since generally you only end up in a pure vs. pure. It's really only for some profit now and amusement.

My 1 def pure has 70 strength and he's level 61. And that's not even considered a half-decent pure.

To start "owning" you have to have at least 80+ strength. By then you're at 65-70.

At that point of levels, people start wearing rune and dragon, so it's still worthwhile to pk, without facing trouble from them hitting high, as higher-leveled people hit more constantly and harder, especially on a 1 def pure.

even at low levels (50-60 cb) people have glorys, runes, rune arrows, karils xbows. etc.

the true point to pures was and is lost with classic.

for those that have been around long enough to remember the 3 hit rule, thats where pures came from. the concept is the same in RS2 but theres no "trap" in new as there was in old.

classic u engaged in combat in wild and had 3 cmb turns before either player could run, this made a str pure deadly, 3 hits didnt give u enough time to eat and attack back before you were dead when u ran agianst a str or range pure.

in RS2 with no lockdown to cmb, yes, pures like wasteing money and talkin smack. love watchin all these pures at edgevill running back and forth, pjing, telle'in and just being rude. its annoying and if theres going to be pures, at least make it so they are worth something.

Defence can't do anything against a pure nowadays.

I mean look at these stats:
60 attack
70+ strenght
31 prayer
82+ mage
70 range

vs

60 attack
50-60 strenght
43+ prayer
def 40
mage 30-50
range 50+

its obvious who is going to win.
The pure.
Why?
The normal guy will definately wear somekind of armor(rune,etc.) the pure will barrage him, if he takes of the armor he will dds spec him.
Normal accounts dont have any chance against pures with 1 def.
