In the world of Runescape, player killing is the most enjoyable way of making money. It doesn't get you a lot of cash, but seeing the PKed cry is a really funny thing. To be a good PKer, you need well-balanced stats and good equipment.
F2P
The top of the food chain in f2p is warrior. Listed below are several types of a good melee fighter.
SAME STATS FIGHTER:
This type of warrior have even stats. (Ex: Attack Defense Strength all 70) You can stay in the wild for a good long time. You might not PK anything alone though. You will need groups of people to help you get a kill.
DEFENSE PURE:
My opinion, these are the best. I fought many defense pure and I've gotten killed or teled. Having defense higher than your other stats doesn't make you a defense pure. Here's the formula:
Defense(Attack + Strength)/2 +(A+S)/2(50)
This way, your defense should be higher than anyone your combat level's attack and strength. It should be very hard to damage you.
STRENGTH PURE:
This is almost the exact opposite. Instead of staying in the fight longer than your opponent, you make them stay shorter than you. Some strength pures have 10 defense, wearing full black, others have 40 defense, wearing rune. There is not definite formula for this one, but your attack should be more than your defense and strength should be more than your attack. Strength pures that have 10 defense should have a combat of 40-65, or else you'll be overwhelmed by others. Level 40 defense pures should have 65-75. I fought many of strength pures, and I was a 40 defense pure, and they both work pretty well. Wielding a rune scim, they can hit 19's very often(99stre.)
HIGH- ATTACK PURE:
The formula for Attack pures, are similar to defense pures. A(D+S)/2+(D+S)/2(50) These are better off than strength pure because they have higher defense and have a 80 chance of hitting the max hit(strength pures have 40 chance of hitting theirs)
In my next post, I will talk about mages and rangers.
