Thoughts on HP

[SkidooosH]

Is HP necessary on a pure, if so at what level does it become crucial?

I'm currently working on sw'ing my pure while i play my xbox, people say sw'ing is easier, but from 1-90 i think it's faster to just train at rock crabs. Why would i train there since it's harder? for the low hp.

Lvl 70, 60 att 99 str 70 hp 13 prayer

Lvl 75, 60 att 99 str 87 hp 13 prayer

Difference: 17 hitpoints

Brew at 70 hp is? maybe 10 more hp so 80 hp?

Difference: 7 hitpoints

The way I see it is, when you're fighting someone you're not going to safe your hp up anyways, so if you brew before a fight that means you have roughly the same hp as they have, but you're going to be 5 combat levels lower. Of course you can get rushed, but pures around 70 only risk 120k ish anyways, and they have p'necks+combo foods that make it easy to get away.

So is it needed?

EDIT: this is based on solo pking stats, nothing to do with trips. IMO if you want stats for wars/trips you would just get 25 def and level up as much as possible

lmao its very important on a pure.

low hp = 1 spec dds

lmao its very important on a pure.

low hp = 1 spec dds

That's why you learn how to eat and that make the diference between a regular and a good pker.

hp pretty important...i'd say as soon as you start to see the 90+ str people thats when you need decent hp

[Gold Prodigy]

If you are higher hp, you can get away with eating to a higher hp without being called a safer since eating a shark would equate to a smaller fraction of the total hp bar.  If people with abnormally low hp adhere to the pressures to not "safe," then other pures will walk all over them with dds specials.

lol kid eating isnt gonna help anything at 90 str u can spec easy 55+ with dds.

Hp is very important.... also, brews lower your stats.. Rocktails = +10hp and dont lower stats.. But either way.. if u were 87hp, you'd be 97 with rocktail/brew... so it's still 17hp different.. 17hp is definately worth 5 combats.

Hp is the most important skill in rs

^ Thats what i think

[SkidooosH]

but most pkers dont use rocktails and or brews

Lately rocktails have been used a hell of a lot

hp is for the weak

Low hp is good for rushing, but not good for 1v1.

So I guess the question is pretty much: Do you prefer rushing more? Or would you rather fight someone?

[SkidooosH]

well ima stick to my plan of low hp and see if you guys are right, personally i think low hp would rip it up

[T0X1C]

Hp imho is important, especially for a pure, but low hp may come in handy on combat lvl difference.

[SkidooosH]

well the thing is im not saying the lvl 75 and 70 would fight, of course 75 would rip, but the lvl 70 vs. other lvl 70 ish?

[T0X1C]

Hmm... I suppose theres really no way you can compare, Pking skill and gaming skill and even hardware play a very important part in pking, so I dont really know what you should do.

About 6months ago i had 70hp 99str.. 60atk, and it sucks you need hp, your just get speced the fuck out..thats why i went back to sw and got 99hp lul

[Boring_Ffs]

now after new food updates thats no reason cuz when you eat rocktail it gives max hp you can for example im 76 cb 92 str 85 mage 90 range (working) and 82 hp so if i ate a rocktail when im 80~ hp it will full me hp and + 11 couse when i ate a rocktail i get 93 hp ..

In my opinion you need desent hp, but i definatly think swprods own badly, obviously rushing is a problem but like you said, only risk like 120k who cares, but like a regular pure with like 90 range and 85 strength would only really need 75-80hp

lol well what was your prayer?

[Cj.]

As long as i have Phoenex Necklaces im fine!!!

[Steroids]

Your hp in a fight would should rarely go over 50 anyway, so remind me what the extra hp is doing? Nothing. However your strength is hitting more, and giving you a larger chance of winning. IMO hp is only important against rushers and even they are easily avoidable. Im 70 cmb and 80 hp, and peeps constantly call me a prod cuz of my hp in relation to my other stats and say sw prods are shit, they shut up after iv killed them..

[Tap U Hard]

If you want to stay low combat and kill kids the easy way and take shit for being a pc prod/sw noob whatever they call it these days, go ahead.

I vote get hp,

Btw, Hi Skidooosh!
