These last 2 points are why you should tap the weakness

Another thing  Best OSRS Gold site which you have to be aware of is the Combat Triangle is currently ULTIMATE now. It makes a difference what equipment you wear, what attack design you use, etc.. Monsters generally have one specific weakness, and if you use their particular attack style, that's also fairly effective. That being said, you should understand that this weakness is somewhat general; Fire Giants, for example, reveal a weakness from Slash strikes. This means that melee generally is very effective against them, and they're especially weak against slash attacks- but crush and stab function good. That having been said, you can barely hit scratch them together with mage.

The exact same applies to your character. Merely to explain to you how awful this really is, the stats are somewhat like that - sporting a ranged top, bottom and helm when meleeing reduce your precision by 27%. Wearing a MAGE top, bottom and helm when meleeing reduce your accuracy by a staggering 45%. Boots and gloves don't appear to have a huge effect however.

These last 2 points are why you should tap the weakness of the monster. If you are fighting Dark Beasts (that mage you currently ), and reveal a weakness to scope, and you also choose to melee, well you will notice two points. One is you could hardly hit. Two is that the magic damage actually adds up now because of your armour. (A way to get around this last part is by simply sporting Hybrid gear, such as the Warpriest of Armadyl gear  buy RuneScape gold accessible as a fall from Aviansies and other monsters in the GWD)
