Tips for pking? whats best and what to use?

[Yak-scythe]

Title is obviously self explainatory, i just wanna pk some loots man whether it be single or multi

[Arceus]

Which account is this for, i.e. your maxed one or the one with 54 defence? Probably the best expendable armour though, i.e. royal/batwing/cheaper dragon pieces etc... (or swap some out for granite or lower armour).

[Yak-scythe]

My max account, but are there any abilitys I should use? I always seem to get wrecked while pking

[Arceus]

Anticipate pre-fight to prevent stuns for a few seconds and Freedom but careful to use it only when needed. You can use your own abilities to stun/bind/interrupt attqacks based on the combat style you are using. Aside from that I think it's more or less basic basic basic threshold fight over =/.

That's because you're new at it.

 

Keep practicing in places like white port and you'll get better.. And none of that W2 white portal crap.

It helps being a good pvmer and knowing your abilities..

 

Basically your 3 best defensive friends are: anticipation (use this basically whenever you can, unless you recently freedomed of course.. It's also a good idea to anti right as they snipe you, because that's when they try to snipe + combo you). Save your freedoms for emergencies, don't waste it on bleeds, or rapid fires. And finally debilitate.  50% less damage to you for 8 seconds, that's awesome.. Should basically be used every 30 seconds in soulsplit fights, or when you know they are going to combo you, or when your freedom+anticipate are on cooldown.

Natural instinct is another "cheap" ability you can use, especially when you're both at 100% or close to 100% adrenaline. 

Devotion is meh.. I never really use it. Maybe right after their snipe misses? Remember to re-activate your prayers ASAP after being sniped, and don't forget to rocktail + brew in the same game ticks, and you shouldn't worry too much about safing.. Everybody does it and with 7k+ tendrils there really is no "safing."

 

A great PKer once told me, "The person that uses snipe the most in a pray fight will win." Remember that.

 

Turn on overheads when pking (Interface > Always show target information). You'll see when they have anticipate up, when they freedom, when they are about to snipe you, so you can plan your next attacks from there.

Snipe > Deep stun > Tendril > Snapshot is a well known combo. Try to time your stun just right so they can't freedom it. Takes practice but you'll get better at it.

 

Good luck.

As far as gear goes.. 

 

Range:

God coif, royal body, royal chaps, nox (or rcb/darts), royal SPIKY vambraces (+10 more range than regular), spined boots (or silverhawks), pneck/glory, ava/teamcape/skill cape, sixthage cicruit/archer's ring/ring of wealth

 

Mage:

Batwing hood,body,legs, nox/cstaff/seis wand(with abby orb)/seasinger wand(with abby orb), gano gloves,gano boots(or silverhawks again), dragonrider/pneck/glory, teamcape/skillcape/god cape, circuit/wealth/seers ring

 

Melee:

Rockshell helm,body,legs, drygore mainhand, offhand excalibur, pneck/glory, teamcape/skill cape, rockshell gloves,rockshell boots (or silverhawks again), circuit/wealth/warrior ring

 

Or if you want to risk more, you could do Karils for range, Grifolic/Gano/Ahrim's for mage, any of the barrow's gears for melee.

To add to the above, if you have a world event token, it works up to level 30 wilderness and is kept in the pocket slot, effectively freeing up any other slot you would have used as your level 30 teleport item.

 

Penance is also a fail-safe aura to use if you forget to watch your prayer points. Eating a fury shark in your inventory guarantees that one item will be protected regardless of prayer points, for one minute.

 

Your inventory should consist of the following:

• (supreme) overload
• super prayer renewal
• antipoison++
• adrenaline/replenishment potion
• weapon poison++
• shield/dark bow switch, in case things go badly
• house tab (keep in mind they only work below level 20 wild)
• super restores/prayer potions
• saradomin brews
• rocktails

You should be on curses for maximum effectiveness. The only prayer that really stands out in the regular prayer book is smite, and I wouldn't really suggest that until you've grown more experienced at PKing/dealing damage.

 

Know how to "1-tick" brews and rocktails together (i.e. eating a rocktail and drinking a brew dose at the same time). Allows you to heal 3300 at a time, makes you survive so much easier than if you simply used a rocktail instead.

And portents of degradation :P I got 98 div for them.

Not really worth the inventory space tbh.

[V O R K]

Take a friend

Teleblock/Entangle/God spells+Smite -> Very underpowered, be wary. (ABS suggested)

Or ice spells in deep

 

Armour:

 

Get all the Warpriest sets

The Ghosthunter set

Get Serpentine

^Free decent PK setup for life.

 

There are some nifty hybrid setups you can throw together and basically use dual-styles.

 

I like to mixup barrows with rockshell aswell.

 

Hunt Revenants for their weaponry/armour

Collect/farm nightshade for weaponpoison.

Ring of Recoil because badass.

Sara brews/soups OP

One portent

Take weapons with specs cause ultralolsy

Get the PoP weaponry

 

Have a shield in inventory and know when to switch (I like doing this with MH Asc.)

 

I'd PVM or do friendly duels with friends untill you get the hang of your abilities/switches.

 

In the meanwhile keep looking at what Mod Pi is doing or go PK on the beta server because they change shit up ever so often.

 

I might return and i'm in a PvP clan (don't count on it though) but if I do i'll add you and we can PK?

[Yak-scythe]

Thank you so much guys, helped me quite alot :3

 

V o r k - sure man just send me a message on here if you do. :)

Fury shark protects 1 item for 5 minutes, and doesn't stack with protection prayer

Fury shark protects 1 item for 5 minutes, and doesn't stack with protection prayer

I'm mainly curious but as this is somewhat relevant to the topic at hand: does smite disable the fury shark protection effect or no?

Smite drains prayer points. Fury Sharks aren't prayer points.

If using mage ranged and a yak, you might considering bringing some jugs of wine for initiating battle with.

Jugs of wines don't drain adrenaline, and don't drain your mage/ranged, or you might use sara brews, but they drain your stats and reduce your damage potential.

Bringing a shield would probably be a must, due to its potential to drastically turn the fight around, give you time to eat (sara brews when using shield abilities is best, since you're trying to maximise healing and damage potential doesn't matter as much as before.

Using poison is worthwhile, and when in combination with some other sources of dps (attacker's insignia(risky), dark magic aura,etc) can force the opponent to eat more often, draining away at your opponent's damage potential.

Portents of degradation (attuned) will greatly help with the fight. When combined with the other sources of damage above, can pose a significant threat.

The ring of recoil is quite economic for a pking ring. Its basically a leviathan ring without stats, where the damage reduction is replaced by a damage reflection with a quatrupled effect, and where it breaks much earlier.

A world event teleport token helps quite a bit when escaping.

When using mage, I suggest either with teleblock-entangles-vulnerability or ancients in high level wilderness.

WIth melee I suggest bringing dry mace+eee, or superior ancient mace+eee when pking in a group.

I'd also recommend using a pop helm for headslot if you're confident in your pking ability/if you arent risking anything valuable.
