Runescape are there protect from melee range magic armor so yes wiche

Yes, Range protecting armour is plate armour or chain armour. Plate works best. A good Magic protection armour is D'hide. This will block any spell, it won't make them hit 0's but it does effect their hit by a lot. it's like going to the elemental wizards and being level 3 with green d'hide and 1 defence and they can only hit 1s on you (10s or under since the new 1=10 update) Melee defence is just regular old plate.
