[Ruckus Fox]

These tactics and rules have won 2 clan wars, lost 1, and tied 1 (Only because they chickened out ) First I'm going to give you a list of things that EVERYONE should have...then a list of what certain classes should have, then move on to some tactics.

Everyone needs to have
----------
1 Axe (Any metal, preferrably steel, myth, or iron works too)
2 tinder box
3 melee weapon (Be prepared for the worst and hope for the best)
And feel free to bring any other equipment you feel necissary
**Hint** The axe and tinder box will save your life some day. Sure, rat meat isn't all that good, but it prevented me from dying in a clan war...
----------
Warriors (Melee)
1 Strong melee weapon, I recommend either a battle axe or a two handed sword..You can fight the way you like
2 Decent armor, black or above.
3 Sufficient food, You're taking the hits! :\
4 Strength pots and prayer really help here too.
----------
Rangers (Ranged)
1 light, yet effective weapon, I recommend a rune dagger or spear (poisoned if you're a member) If not, you might just want to use your hatchet...
2 your bow of choice, long are slower and wider ranged, short are faster but shorter ranged.
3 I recommend ATLEAST 100 arrows of any kind, depending on the time and group of you out there...You might want more.
4 If you are going to use throwing knives, bring atleast 100 of them.
5 wear some ranger armor....least expensive would be the studded leather body, studded leather chaps, coif, boots, gloves, (Dunno if they help) And a cape for some extra defense...ALWAYS BRING A CAPE DESPITE YOUR CLASS!
-----------
Mage (Magic caster)
1 Choose a snaring spell to root your enemy to the ground incase of them trying to flee.
2 Bring necissary runes for your strongest (or desired) offensive, and snaring spells.
3 Wear mages robes, (Blue seems to add more)
4 bring a staff (The magic one helps your basic magics, but the elemental ones save you some runes)
5 If you're a member, wear the elemental shield.
6 Wear the Magic Amulet to up your magic power
-----------
Rogues (ME! ^_^)
1 We all have our own types of provisions.
2 We carry most of all depending on what our group wants us to be or do
3 We tend to scout ahead some times or cover the flank.
-----------
I will add some tactics when I have time....sorry...

Considering most wars among non-noob clans take place at GDs, this no of no help,

----------
Warriors (Melee)
1 Strong melee weapon, I recommend either a battle axe or a two handed sword..You can fight the way you like 
2 Decent armor, black or above.
3 Sufficient food, You're taking the hits! :\
4 Strength pots and prayer really help here too.

For a war, as with PKing, a scimitar is the best weapon. As for armor, rune, addy (for noobs), or green dragonhide are acceptable. Lobs or swords for food, and ALWAYS bring a strength pot and charge prayer at the monastery. Use protect from magic, since you'll need it most likely.

----------Rangers (Ranged)
1 light, yet effective weapon, I recommend a rune dagger or spear (poisoned if you're a member) If not, you might just want to use your hatchet...
2 your bow of choice, long are slower and wider ranged, short are faster but shorter ranged.
3 I recommend ATLEAST 100 arrows of any kind, depending on the time and group of you out there...You might want more.
4 If you are going to use throwing knives, bring atleast 100 of them.

Rangers should not have a weapon besides their bow. It's pointless if they are prepared. Shortbows should be used, with 200 or more steel arrows. For armor, full green dragonhide, and rune large.

-----------
Mage (Magic caster)
1 Choose a snaring spell to root your enemy to the ground incase of them trying to flee.
2 Bring necissary runes for your strongest (or desired) offensive, and snaring spells.
3 Wear mages robes, (Blue seems to add more)
4 bring a staff (The magic one helps your basic magics, but the elemental ones save you some runes)
5 If you're a member, wear the elemental shield.
6 Wear the Magic Amulet to up your magic power

It's called bind. Bring runes for at least 30 binds, though this isn't too necessary in a war. Bring at least 150 blast spells worth of runes, preferably fire blast. ALWAYS use the dragonfire shield, as well.

-----------
Rogues (ME! ^_^)
1 We all have our own types of provisions.
2 We carry most of all depending on what our group wants us to be or do
3 We tend to scout ahead some times or cover the flank.
-----------

Considering in a war situation, "covering a flank" will be entirely useless, this tactic is as well. All it does it split your forces up, leaving the mages and rangers scrambling. Scouting ahead works in PKing, not in wars. Unless you want to end up in Lumby before the war actually starts.

[Ruckus Fox]

No offense, but I didn't ask for mister negativity over here, in plain view, people have their OWN ways of war and Pking....You ask any ranger about if they carry a melee weapon, every GOOD one will answer, "Yes...Ofcourse...are you a noobie?" As well, if you aren't prepared, I'm going to laugh at you and take all your stuff once you're dead....Don't you listen to philosophies? "Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best"
Next time think before you post something senile and unwanted....as well, I didn't bother reading it all (too long and full of quotes and jibberish)

Hey, don't make me close this for flaming...If there's one more negative post.

[Master Of Stuff]

Ruckus, for what it's worth Killerconvic is a very experienced member when it comes to pking and war situations. His post may have been a bit harsh sounding, but it was constructive criticism... If you took the time to read his comments, you would see some places where his comments make sense. I mean, put 2 archers of equal status together, one with 100 bronze arrows, one with 100 steel arrows: chances are better for the steel archer. It's a reasonable tactic because steel arrows are simple to make for most fletchers. That's only one example that I gathered, and my overall war experience is minimal.

Instead of being defensive, you can either take a few of his comments and improve upon your own tactics or you can explain why you posted what you did as the tactic so that we all can understand.

I'm sure you made this thread to be helpful, but that doesn't mean you cannot help yourself and perhaps improve a bit. That's if you want to though.

[Neraphym]

Though I disagree with your equipment suggestions, I am interested in viewing some actual tactics. Let's see what you got.

[Doomed1]

Seems fairly interesting... However, I don't think that there would be any actual need for organization. And, soldiers should be able to have a wide variety of weapons to use, therefore not being overpowered easily. Same thing goes for archers, the enemy clan will have mages shooting from the back, so with a longbow they could pick off the mages, using longrange. Wizards should use bind/snare on warriors only because otherwise, the rangers and mage could be able to shoot even when they're held down.

Follow the class triangle!

Soldiers attack Archers,
Archers shoot Wizards,
Wizards blast Soldiers.

Or whatever you guys call these classes, anyway.

You need one incase they protect from range.

[Ruckus Fox]

Quite right....As far as the triangle goes...Melee can defeat melee quite nicely.....And it's simple, use piercing..Notice that the plate protects best from slashing and crush? So use piercing weapons....Arrows, daggers, and even spears. The triangle helps...and I'll post some actual tactics when I'm not so flooded...Take care.

I finally get to respond, lol.

If they protect from range, then get a mage to hit them. Keep confusing them with the prayers, or get a meleer on them.

It would still be useful to have, if your team is occupied, or the enemy is focusing on you or something.

[Killerconvic]

If the enemy focuses on you, attacking is your last priority. You better work on getting away and eating, first.

[obiwan22]

You understand I mean one person, not a team, if it's a team, what you said.

triangle really helps, but when pk comes to prayer it can save ur life and its hard to pk thats why in my theres always mager ranger and a knight in my team(clan) as if i pk alone i have a melee figter and ranger i have runes on both of those cuz they are both pure and have pretty low def lvl (any fighter shud have good mage lvl becouse it doesnt lvl you always have runes for speel and when they are about to die bind and blast em trust me really workd pked like 10 fulll runes with it) the only problem is magin is slow thats why rangers can easely beat em with shortbow (well any mager with over 55 rnge can beat a mage with 59 mage (fire blast)) magers can hit high but rangers have best protection from mage (about 45 with full dragonhide) and they hit fast ranging is fastest weapon (rapid shortbow) in rs2 f2r. *bows* *crowd cheers to prfessional pker* *leaves*
