As you wonder around RuneScape, you'll notice many players wearing different equipment, from light leather armour, soft robes and cloaks, to bulky weapons and armour.
Basically, these types of players are identified as three different stereotypes; melee fighters, rangers and mages, all of which form the corners of the combat triangle. Each corner has a distinct advantage and disadvantage over one another.
Melee Fighters
For those who want to get up close and homocidal
Advantages: Powerful weapons and armour - Arrows and bolts will have a hard time piercing the solid armour, allowing the fighter to get up close to do some serious damage to the archer.
Disadvantages: Weight - Armour is generally heavy, which means that you're energy will deplete much quicker than others. Metal - Though providing an excellent defence, the armour's metal is a good conductor of magical attacks. This increases the effects and damage of the mage's spells.
Rangers
For those who prefer nimble attacks from afar
Advantages: Range - Lets the archer attack from afar, throught fences or places where melee fighters can't reach them. Light - This allows rangers to conserve more energy for pursuit of targets. Articulated armour - Leather/Hides provide good protection from magical spells.
Disadvantages: Protection - Rangers' lightweight armour make them weak against melee attacks.
Mages
For those who prefer to use the powerful art of magic
Advantages: Spells - Mages have the ability to use powerful spells, depending on their Magic Levels.
Disadvantages: Soft-to-the-touch armour - Mages wear these cloaks to boost their magical abilities. However, by doing this they have turned themselves into 'Walking Pincusions'. Archers' arrows can easily pierce their robes and cloaks.
The combat triangle is at the the center of player-killing and combat throughout RuneScape. Always keep you stats, strengths and weaknesses in mind, depending on which corner you choose to use.
