And Brassica Prime came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber and took me on high, and higher still, until we moved in the spaces betwixt the air itself. He bore me unto a vast farmland of our own midwest, and as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay, a million, voices, full of fear. Terror possessed me then. And I begged, "Brassica Prime, what are these tortured screams?" And the cabbage said unto me, "These are the cries of the cabbages, the cries of the cabbages. You see, reverend Meredith, tomorrow is harvest day, and to them, it is the holocaust." I sprang from my slumber, drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now! I have seen the light, they have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses, save our brothers. Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you, Brassica."

There's no reason not to train all 3. Prayer doesn't affect your combat level, so it's worth getting as well. Defense is necessary because of LP boosts. At maxed combats, anything less than level 70 armor is really bad.

Hmm. Come to think, nothing worth killing in 07 has high melee defense, and you're no longer completely immortal to everything; without SS/Uni. DKs for example, the one you melee has such poor defense +2 strength could be a worthy trade for +~20 melee accuracy, and the defense would actually help a lot here as you do take damage. Some slayer tasks are another case of +2 strength potentially being worth +~20 accuracy. Not saying it is the best, but relative to 2012, it's a lot closer. It only takes a little bit of defense for rune defenders to be better than DFSs, slightly more for adamant and mithril. Anything you kill that has enough HP for it to matter also has enough defense for at least the highest tier defender to be better. The only exception is DKs, but I think rune defenders are better DPS-wise, but the lack of defense isn't justified, so I would use a DFS there. Since superantifires are not out and there isn't enough healing to just kill dragons with antifires, DFSs are also worth using at dragons (which aren't worth killing unless bones are ridiculously high), so I suppose that counts as another use. Were dragon defenders, spirit shields, and superantifires to be introduced, DFSs wouldn't be worth it for any situation, so you're right about them being closer.

I don't think it was at all necessary to mention that, rumor or not.

I'm guessing the Dg shields then? Which one should be my first, second, third pick? Use a 2h or dual wield, Never use a shield.

How did everyone just skim over the fact that he said DFS's were the best shields?

None of the shields are worth buying.

The confirmed skill, organic chemistry, wasn't named so yeah it's April fools.

can this be true jk ily

I told Mana that if you bring garlic to Darkmeyer from Draynor something will happen

I don't think you can drop 4 in 1 tick.

I specifically remember the XPW thread. You should be able to find it yourself, I don't have computer access atm so I can't find it for you.

Cannons aren't real useful until higher levels, specifically when you get to Duradel. You should cannon as much as possible before dura, but there aren't enough cannon tasks for it to be expensive. By the time you can use dura, you should be able to afford to cannon.

M1D1 was never the best. M3D3 is much better.

They probably have the data located somewhere on their servers, it's just a matter of finding it.

Skippy making a Heart of Darkness reference:

Ranged should only ever be trained using chins and cannon. Cannon to 99 slayer, which should get you at least 90 ranged, then chin to 99. Training ranged in any other manner is extremely inefficient.

You can't calculate the DPS boost of crits without knowing how often they occur.

There are like 8 different U of M's

Do we know the probability of a critical hit to occur?

If you don't have a compiler, you should be able to run it on ideone.com if you use a small number of iterations. Just input the stats of two builds to compare them. The weapons have to be the same speed and special attacks aren't account for, though.
