What is safespotting? Revenants choose the attack style for which you have the lowest defence. When your ranged defence and effective magic defence both exceed your melee defence stats, the revenant will prefer melee — but since you're standing on a safespot tile it can't reach you, so it's stuck and deals no damage.

How Effective Magic Defence Works
Magic defence in OSRS uses both your Magic level and Defence level — not just gear.
High Magic levels matter a lot. 94 Magic gives a base of 65 before any gear bonus. Good gear helps too, but levels are the foundation.
