A Tank Mage is a player with massive defense, fairly high hitpoints and 77+ magic. Tank mages usually range from combat 27-74 and can easily kill players of a much higher Combat level. The concept of this account is that the level gain from Magic is half that of Hits, Attack, Strength and Defense, allowing massive amounts of damage to be delt without taking any.
