== Other notes ==
While it might seem like an obvious idea to add combat style (defensive, normal, aggressive) to the list of contributing factors in Fighting subskill currently have no effect on combat rating, it is not certain it does. They may have other effects however. Due to the double-working nature of combat rating, getting more will not only make you hit more, but also get hit less. So saying that aggressive fighters should get a higher combat rating than defensive fighters is false, since the added combat rating would also cause them to get missed more.
It is also important to note that due to the different combat ratings given out by fighting skill in PvP and PvE, fighting skill is less important in PvE than it is in PvP. That is, it is more important to have good weapons when fighting animals than it is to have high fighting skill, when compared to PvP.
