Hey guys,

I am making a new pker to play while streaming live. i am trying to figure out what is the best type of pure and what they normally do.

i was thinking about rune c'bow with dragon bolts then finish with gmaul spec.

[kilvehk]

well the thing is the cb update is supposed to render pures inefficient

[Spartan]

What kilvehk said, once the new combat system goes live it should render pures useless, which is part of the reason for the new combat system in the first place.

[Joeythegrape]

Really

Anyways, Turmoil Zeerker is hands down the best - if you can afford it and consider it a pure. Otherwise any hybrid really.

[kilvehk]

yes but by the time he finishes if it would be rendered useless so soon after making it would be pointless

[Riku]

Who has said it's supposed to render pures useless? I haven't heard this. I've heard they're getting away with specs and such, but I don't recall them actually saying they're killing pures. We just might have to tweak them.

[kilvehk]

first clue directly from og blog i have bolded and underlined the especially important parts

"Right now, skill in RuneScape combat tends to be measured by things like how quickly you can switch between interfaces; odd features like “prayer flashing”; keeping your combat levels artificially low; or timing the click of when you eat food to avoid missing a hit. While those things are skilful (and I admire those players that have mastered those strange arts), none of them are about combat itself, or knowledge of combat. There’s nothing about what weapons to use and when; nothing about how to respond to your opponent in PvP - none of it relates to tactics used in real battles... and I think it should. It’s often a case of being lucky, or just having the GP to buy the best equipment, which brings us nicely to our first point..."

second they said that abilitys would be unlocked as you gain lvls so pures may be denied access to those ultimates effectively rendering pures ineffective

i saw something else about it but i forgot where anyways its a safe bet to assume pures will no longer be as effective as they have been in the past

Quest the attack

But yeah, Gmauler is probably the best inexpensive pure you can make. Goodluck!

You should post a log - hasn't been a pure one forever...

[Seinami]

The only good pure is a Dead pure. :I

[kilvehk]

well in that case seinami you must love the crucible for killing all dem pures today : P

[Seinami]

1 def is easy killing. >;D

[ViolaSouls]

Wish I had a pure!

[Joeythegrape]

Wish I had a pure!

[Joeythegrape]

That ain't a pure

Thats jsut a tank - which will work for pking even with the combat updates. Youshould use it.

[kilvehk]
