By having 90 attack, I'm capable of RS gold using the top levels of weapons, and 42 Str grants me access to the Berserk skill. Due to the way combat is calculated now my combat levels get from melee are equivalent to having just 66 levels of Mage or Range. However, the strength factor is a bit more significant since the launch of "Combat Improvements" and I'm having trouble getting KOs and I was able to find this out during a pvp game I was practicing against Leo.

50 Defence gives me access to the cheapest Power armour, which is Rockshell/Spined/Skeletal. The 61 Pray is the same level of combat as 60 Pray, which gives access to for me the Amulet of Zealots, arguably the best amulet on the market. This summoning can be used to summon the Tortoise, however I did not had a need for it.

In the coming Defence reset, I will have the possibility of resetting to defense level 1. But, this makes me ineligible for Power armor, and also locks out the vital Freedom ability. I can train again to level 34 in a snap, but what would be the purpose of a reset after that? The other issue is that PvP is almost dead aside from warbands. And because of the new mechanics in warbands, there's nothing to gain from having a low-level combat any more.

If I improve my fighting skills, I'll be able to gain access to better Slayer masters, speeding the process of achieving my aim. It was difficult to achieve 90 slayers without even being capable of doing Smoking Kills until 90 combat. Being unable to use Kuradel as well as the Iowerth Slayer Master will be similarly frustrating, but on the other hand , it will be an exciting feat getting 99 slayer, and not ever having to use an Iowerth master that is better than Sumona.

Leo and I are both extremely knowledgeable about warbands, but we have completely different perspectives. My focus is regarding the game mechanics and metagames of OSRS buy gold warbands, whereas Leo is an expert in all aspects of warring politics and pvp strategies.
