This Is For All Combats To Tell Each Other Why Yours is Best And Help Others Out So Come On


For Magic ,Ranged,And Melee




If You dont Use These Tell Me What U Use!

Please clarify, are we supposed to convince people that our combat is 'the best'?

Melee because in higher lvls, range and mage just don't get er done.

Yes And Help Out others With The Same combat


how

The combat triangle is severely slanted towards melee (especially in f2p), having the highest max hit of the three as well as some of the best armor combinations open to them. Magic can hardly kill anything, due to its low accuracy and low damage. Ranged is OK, with mid-sized hits and rapid damage, but to PK successfully, you must also use some sort of melee weapon (in f2p again at least).

EDIT: And what is with your capitalization of almost all your words? It gets kinda hard to read.

I would say range and melee are about tied for a primary combat method (in members). While melee has higher hits and better armor, rangers get a much higher attack bonus and are alot more accurate.
I personally always viewed mage as a secondary combat skill like prayer. Its not for doing damage its meant for freezing people and then hitting them at a range or running in and using a gs special.

In f2p its a completely different story melee is somewhat overpowered because they get rune but mages doesn't get mystic and wave spells and ranger dont get yew bows and rune arrows. So the equipment isn't balanced.

At mid levels range is far better, I boss fight with my feeble 75 range instead of my 85 str, its simply better. Plus range tanks at my level kill me. However when maxed mellee comes off best

Offensively, a combination of Melee and Range makes for the best damage, which is why those Range/2H pures are so good. You can throw in a little magic there, put on a 10-20 second freeze, with a little damage attached, just to give you an edge.

Defensively, Range armor is probably the best, with Melee platelegs. Dragonhide makes for a little less-than-effective Melee Defense, but it still gets the job done in Range and Mage.

I'd say Ranged is the best, they can tank melee quite well, and their max hit is higher than melees.

Melee. Hits the highest, variety of armour. Range is close behind and magic just stinks. Tbh.

Wh.. what? Those.. are the only types of combat.. right? If you don't use those, you don't use combat at all..

Well my preferance is Ranged even though Melee dominates the F2P combat triangle. If Ranged and Magic were more in sync(as in balanced equally) with Melee then they would both be a tie for me.

I prefer training Ranged as well. I can hit harder with Broad Bolts than with a whip.

I use everything, as I'm balanced. But I prefer Melee, I use it as much as I can. With range you always have to keep getting arrows/bolts and such. Also if your smart you can make your own setup and use that.

@Mohorak: That means you don't use combat right.

Huh? Ranged is combat, and so are Attack and Strength!

The 'combat triangle' basiclly explains that they're all pretty much equal and none really overpowers the other.
Melee is my favorite, because it has a more choices of armour, for both f2p and p2p...quite cheaper in a way too...you just have to buy a weapon, some armour and it'll last...unless you want to upgrade. But for range/mage, you need to either fletch/runecraft or keep buying the arrows/runes like most people do.

Thats just my opinion, and obviously theres a lot of faults in it. :')

I like ranged but in some situations its impractical so I use melee. Magic is more of a support skill than a combat skill.

i reckon a good combat thing is lvls to use dragon dagger super posion AND a high prayer lvl which can really help

but def str and att are probs the best killing skills in f2p and most p2p

*Sigh* in members only melee and range stand a chance in 1 vs 1 combat. In clans, Ancient ice barraging is ok. Overall Either D bow spec for range or Bandos and G sword/whip/dds for melee.

I think that mage is the best. For example, everyone uses mage in minigames like fist of guthix. i don think that magic is a secondary combat skill like prayer and summoning.

I agree with Sothe, Magic is not just a secondary skill, it can do some of the highest damage at any level compared to Melee and Ranged

melee good but i just love range for some reason prob cos my melee lvls are pretty crap (well so is my range) but idc

Magic sucks at high levels, but rocks at low levels.

I only use melee if i have to, i try to use range as much as i can.
Last week i was using a magic shortbow and full blue d'hide versing a player with full dragon armour, abyssal whip and ddp+++ and i still won at duel tournaments.

so over all, range is the best!
