Combat Triangle & Weaknesses
Understanding combat weaknesses in RuneScape
Weakness
Weakness is one of the easiest ways to increase your damage output. This can be achieved by using a specific class like Ranged & Melee, or a specific weakness like Slash Weapons or Earth Spells.
With that being said, because the maximum hit damage potential you can have is 100%, if you have 100% hit chance without using the target specific weakness, using the target's weakness will have no impact on your damage.
