I'm thinking of turning my failing range pure into a hand cannon pure with these stats

85 Range
69 Strength
50 Attack
36 Defence
44 Prayer
85 Magic

Between a rock,nature spirit and Dslayer to get 36 Defence
This gives me barrows gloves and hand cannon

This lets me either tank with proselite, agile armour trybriding or full adamant

What do you guys think?

nono.

Dont bother.

30-39 defence is totally pointless going on how you can just get 1-2 combats more and get veng/rune/more strength bonus. and as you want to hand cannon obviously 40 defence for void.

So 42 defence with void, but surely that means I need vengence, and you know I hate training mage

Meh you dont need it but its cool.

Don't you have to have 40 or 45 defense for barrows gloves?

I believe its 40.

Hand cannon pures, meh, maybe range tank?

Edit: those are goal stats right? if its 1 def maybe turn it zerker if still possible.

While Its actually possible to get barrows gloves at a minimum of 35 defense. I would get 42 defense for void since you are going for a range based build.
