 same spot as u.

Iv'e played both builds. my thoughts:

 

Tank

 

Pro:

-less quests needed (just knock out lunars/dt and ur good to go)

-much easier to pvm on

-Void and power amulet still shits on zerks

-alot less commen 

-can take alot of abuse in multy

-only two hard diary tasks that really benefit a tank (kandarin hard+western prov)

 

 

Con:

-Expensive gear setup

-takes alot of time to train defence (depending on goal lvl)

-is expected to take alot of abuse in multy

-can get tedious only being able to range/mage

 

 

Neutral ground:

Both easy to slay on (just blowpipe everything)

Both great for multy pking (diffrent roles tho)

great for zulrah (moneysnake ftw)

 

 

Zerker

Pro's

-Alot of dps 

-very flexible (can use nearly every aspect of the cb triangle to maxed potential)

-Quick to lvl up (epecially strnght vs defence on a tank)

-all round fun to play with alot of possible builds

 

con's

-alot of items and quests to unlock (torso/firecape/(elite) void/b gloves/crystal hally/ardy cloak 4 etc)

-always gotta be carefull not to lvl defence 

-Less effective to pvm on (almost always need a tank to bail ur ass out ^^ )

 

Just my two cents

I've also played on both builds and in my opinion zerks are a lot more versatile when it comes to both pvp and pvm therefore its a little more costly when it comes to supplies. On the pvp side it can cost you quite a bit as well but you have more weapons/gear to play with.

 

Tanks are best if you want an OP build that is very cheap as well, it does take longer to train your combat but it will save you a ton of cash in the future as well especially on the pvm side of it. The higher the defence the less you do get hit therefore you use a lot less food/pots unlike a zerk with just 45 defence. Super sets cost 5x more than a ranging potion. Although Tanks can be very OP if used properly it can take a lot of time to get your gear back if you lose it assuming you will be using void.

 

In the end its all personal preference, if you want to be able to use all combat styles I would go zerk, if you are okay with just magic and mainly range I would choose void wether you do both pvp or pvm.

good luck deciding

I agree with everything Quick/Ty/Sybren said except that with a BP/STOD slayer is no problem, you'll spend a little more as a tank, but addy darts, scales, and blood runes are cheap now. I like being a tank since it allows me to do most bosses as well as multi PVP, I'm not a big singles/edge guy anyways.
