This is a step by step guide to making your very first runescape 2 members ranger tank account....

{note} You must be able to afford the supplys.... Such as arrows bows and armors auto fighters will come in handy and also you will want one that dosent burry bones as prayer is a big NO for tanks

step 1
Its best to start off as a non member till lvl 40 ranged and say 20-30 def....
But start by training ranged by using the long ranged attack with your bow at chickens and work your way to cows cows are great to get very far... I got about 40 ranged and 30 def from cows. (items to wear studded body, green d hide legs, green vambs, addy legs or skirt, addy helm, if member addy boots)

step 2
At this point its time to become a member... Work to 40 def and 50 ranged with that i have won many stakes.... Please note tanks are great pkers and stakers due to the fact that there are so many pures now that def "noobs" own the pure because with a tank you keep your def and ranged close or above your cb lvl.... (wearables rune legs or skirt, rune helm, blue d hide body and vambs, rune boots, glory or fury, possibly robin hood and ranger boots, depending on how much you want to spend...)

{note for step 2} its also rather wise to get 30 str and 20 atk at this point... so you can train def on rockcrabs....

step 3
Now... Your gunna want to get 60 ranged and depending on rather you wonna be a pro tank or a 40 def tank.... Now you must decide... I went for the pro tank and went to get 60 ranged with 50 def... Now is a great time to become a pro staker or pker.... Tanks are great with a d bow and make fast trash of a pure....

step 4
(this is about where i am so yea....)
70 ranged with 60 def..... Or 70 with 40.... Both work well you kinda get the idea i hope... If not feel free to ask questions.... But yea the items i use are .... (karils c bow, d skirt, black top and vambs, archer helm, ranger boots, fury...) fury can be changed for glory and ranger for d boots or rune....

A big thing to remember about range tanks, 99 range is equal to 70 range and 40 defense. 99 range also means 99 magic as you can raise your magic level with our raising your combat if you have 99 range. So if I could farcast you with ice barrage and than use my dark bow to spec you and hit really damn high, then you with your 70 range and 40 defense wouldn't stand a chance. So in turn a good pure could own a range tank, just my opinion.

Just have to add something for the prayer question.

With all the updates on duel arena and wildy, prayer is vital for pking.

You may not use protect prayers but eagle eye really is a thing of beauty. Even steel skin will aid you, as a range tank you're in a world of godswords, you need as much def as you can get.

Nice guide, one suggestion (although i haven't used myself) alot of people say that using the range guild area is an extremely good place for creating a range tank when you have entry lvl requirement. However it might be slightly expensive.

Lol.
A good range tanks stats shall be:
Attack: 70 - MAX
Strength: 70 - MAX
Defence: 70 or 99 (Not 40, if you are 40 you are not a tank)
Range: 80+
Prayer: 52 (Stay 52!!!)
Magic: 80+ (you can choose between = 82 Ice Blitz, 85 = Teleblock (including Level 79 entangle bind, that binds for 15 sec)
PS. All people thing ancient mage is better than regular, well its not true, its what you think, i think regular is better, (you can teleblock, the person will not be able to teleport, then u can bind, and hit him with range..(Ice Blitz's = just hitting you around 15 damage and Freeze you for 15 secs.
Well ancient is maybe better for pures.
But for tanks = I RECOMMEND REGULAR MAGIC LIST!

94 Magic for veng.

Tanks love veng, it allows them to do deadly combos (like meleers).

Thnx :) , but i think 99 def is not so good, takes ur combat up to high. so i recomend this:

70 atk
70 str
70 def
99 range
52 prayer
99 mage

~~Maxed Out Tank~~ ~~Barrows/Tank~~
70 Atk----------------------------70 Atk
70 Str----------------------------70 Str
99 Def----------------------------99 Def
99 Range-------------------------99 Range
52 Prayer-------------------------52 Prayer
99 Mage--------------------------99 Mage

Note: If you are over 70 ATTACK OR STRENGTH, then you will be based as Meele.

And i recomend Barrow/Tank! =)

Personally, I think a tank in the truest sense of the word is this:

1 attack.
1 strength.
99 defense.
99 range.
1 prayer.
94 mage.

Now, of course you can build on that to make it better, but that's what you need, in my opinion, to be a tank (not the 99s, just those skills L).

Me and a friend had some tankers, but decided to get defence up a little higher and own even more XD if you wanna join our tank clan, pm either me (i scar you2) or my friend (i scar you)

don't pm my main, if i'm on him i dont want anything to do with tankers at the time.

i would personaly stop at 52

[posted by a bunch of people, not just phinoxrobo]

You can get 53, since prayer raises your combat level by .25 every even level. Not a huge advantage, but hey, everything helps =p.
