all stats are good for pking, high defence means few hits from them. high attack is accurate. and strength is for k0.
range is for dark bow spec. and magic for ancient.

You'll find that no matter what stats you have, you'll never be satisfied as there aren't any ideal stats. Once you max out combat you'll then find it's boring because everyone has 99 def so it's super easy to tank and escape.
I personally always had Strength highest, Attack second then Defence. The thing is, it's all up to you so really, no one is going to say "Hey, get X str Y Attack etc, with these stats you'll always get kills" because everyone's always trying to get the "best" stats. As soon as you reach your goal you'll think, "I'd own more if I had higher magic so I can freeze them." You'll get it, then think "I should get up another hybrid skill because they just protect magic." And so the cycle continues.
I hope I've proved that no one will actually be able to provide you with the stats you need for Pk'ing. Runescape is luck. If your lucky, you'll get kills with those stats (as with any other stats).

if you train high magic lvl. you wont advance in combat if you advance in range lvls. its the highest style that counts. def and hitpoints is neutral though.
check special calcs on tip and experiment.

If you want to be a pure, your stats are all too high really, you wont get much of an edge. If you don't mind starting over then having low def and v high strength seems to be popular. The more uneven the stats are the more of an edge you have over other people with even stats.

Hey there, I've been playing since early 2005 and my entire career revolved around PKing. It all really depends on what type of PKer you want to be, Mech Gamer. Be a type that you would enjoy playing. It's quite simple to pick what type they are as follow:
- Melee - Focuses on close combat fighting styles. Generally 1-2 squares from their opponent.
- Ranger - Focuses on a archery fighting style. Generally 1-6 squares from their opponent.
- Mage - Focuses on the use of spells. Generally 1-6 squares from their opponent.
- Hybrid - Focuses on different variations of combat such as: Melee/Range, Melee/Mage or Range/Mage.
So once you decided what type of PKer you wish to become I can help you more in depth, such as suggested stats to have, quests to complete and perhaps going over the basics.
