What's your favorite combat style? Which one do you like the most, why do you like it, and do you intend to change your most used combat style?

My answer:

I'm all for melee, mainly because my range level is too low for me to use it in every fight. I intend to change my main combat style to range when I get the range level. :) (For those of you who might not have noticed, I intend to be a range tank.) XD

I wouldn't say highest hit probability... It depends a lot on your attack bonus about your accuracy. I've seen people k0'ed (from 90+ hp) with range gear. :P (Dark Bow to be exact)

I am a man of my melee, I love seeing hitsplats from my whip while I'm brushing off the attacks of noobs while I am tanking, isn't melee just a blast? :P

Melee ftw! Imo melee is much more fun because you get to pwn from up close instead of from far away. Also you don't have to replace your arrows or runes so you can fight for as long as you want.

lol! But I will agree Blitz that melee is fun to pwn your enemies up close, but it's also pretty intense if you can k0 them with a Dark Bow or Hand Cannon before they can reach you. :wink:

RANGE FTW!!! With melee u have to train ATK AND STR but with range you train both at the same time! + u can range most monsters from safe spots meaning you dont have to bring food! AVA ATTRACTOR brings your arrows back to u so yea range FTW

Armoured zombies or ape atoll... whichever I feel like going to. They both give pretty much the same exp. I usually go to zombies b/c of the drops, but if I'm afk training, I go to apes. :)

I would say melee :), I didn't get 99 Strength for nothing! Although I might plan on going for 99 Range, if I was to sell my godsword :/.

Melee is the cheapest aswell, just get a weapon and your off :)

Nice. :) I try to PvM as much as I can lol, I love it. XD I'll admit I haven't gone to any actual GWD bosses, but I do have a very fair understanding of what each boss is capable of, what to use or what to equip, etc etc...

Same with Corporeal Beast, I haven't been to him, but I know quite a bit about what to bring. I love PvM, but I can't do it too much because I'm either busy IRL or the clan never tries to actually contact me... :| I have yet to find a good PvM clan that doesn't die. :lol:

It never was a clan, but my friends would always ask me for advice on bosses. Now that you're the PvM manager, you can organize events like that. ;)

Exactly, you don't even need an anti-poison if you turn into a monkey to recharge prayer and kill the guards near the 2 furnaces.

At armored zombies? you can get up to 100k exp per hour and like 80k (if you pick up the "good" drops) cash.

holy smokes you're right! :o

I just checked members list on another tab, I'm the 2nd highest poster. Priest is the most active member, but I'm the most active non-staff member. ;)
