Can you skip tasks you start in a duo? If so, who has to pay the 30 points, only one player or both?

Sadly, you can't use abilities for your offhand weapon. Also, if you have a crossbow+sword, you need to get into melee range to attack at all. I can't seem to get melee (or range) + magic to work. Autocasting seems to take precedence over other weapons or something like that.

Defenders count as offhand weapons and they give lifepoint boosts. They don't function as shields, however, so you can't use dual wield and shield abilities at the same time. It would be incredibly awesome if they did.

Get goliaths.

Using melee sword+shield I can deal with rangers rather easily in the Duel Arena. One thing people need to use more is freedom and the melee dash/stun move. Freedom breaks you out of bind, stun and DoT. Great for getting out of a bind and negating nasty the nasty bleed of slaughter. The dash (think it's "barge" or something) ignores any movement impediments and stuns the opponent. Great to deal with bind-shot rangers and getting you in there face ASAP. The combat triangle is very pronounced, but knowing what you're actually doing is a big necessity in PvP combat and can help you fight against the rock-paper-scissors elements.

SHUT UP, IT'S A BETA! JAGEX CAN MAKE ALL THE GRAMMATICAL ERRORS THEY WANT!

As it stands, Runescape combat takes NO SKILL. The only "skill" is clicking spec weapon -> special attack -> attack player. All the armor switching is just a race to see who can navigate the clunky interface the fastest. If you're competing to see who can do the most monotonous amount of actions in rapid succession, we all know who would win. When someone says "PKING TAKES SKILL" I just think of this schmuck.

This thread is both new and exciting. As Omali said, it's you, not the game. You just got bored with it. The magic is gone. You have two options. 1. Stop whining and quit Runescape 2. Stop whining and keep playing Runescape

I really wish they'd get rid of degrading on some armor and weapons. Do we really need to keep paying money to use our armor? Yes, you might say "its cuz of da ecomoney" but I'm sure the economy will do just fine without it. It's going to be especially annoying if you're dual-wielding chaotics. Twice the charge cost, not to mention the fact that you hit/get hit more in the new combat, so that might degrade them even faster.

Don't leech curses max out at +15% and -25%? Sure, 15% strength is quite a bit lower than 23%, but how could that only translate to 1% dps increase? But I'd imagine the -25% defence leech would be wasted because you're probably going to BGS them to 0 defence anyway.

Chaotics should stay the same price they are, in my opinion. You don't really need two, after all. Though I honestly wouldn't mind if their prices were dropped, as long as everyone gets the proper refund.

Lioness, you are one lucky duck. Oh, what's that? It's time for everyone's favorite game! SPOT! THE! GLITCH! This one is pretty sneaky if I do say so myself. And would you believe it: someone said I should get a cooking cape. Guess what he was wearing. An untrimmed cooking cape. Don't try and force your shitty styles on me, boy! Somebuddy else chimed in and said my cape was better. STYLIN' LEVEL = MAX

If you want to be "efficient", just skip 'em. They aren't a terrible task, but there are better ones out there. I used to skip them all the time due to the shitty framerate I got in there; now that the fps problem is fixed and whip vines are apparently rising in price, I might reconsider. HIJACK: Which would be better to kill on task, males or guards? XP rate and drop values considered.

Only removes their weapon and perhaps shield. Might be good to damage shield users if they're at full health. But familiars seem a lot weaker HP-wise, my iron titan got taken out in the wildy pretty quick.

THANK YOU. I thought I was alone on this. So sick of shitty video guides, especially with shitty commentary and shitty useless advice. Just because you have video capturing, editing, and voice software doesn't mean you need to MAKE A GUIDE FOR EVERY LITTLE IDEA THAT POPS INTO YOUR DITSY HEAD, ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE DOZENS OF GUIDES MUCH BETTER THAN YOU CAN EVER MAKE ALREADY EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET.

That was a great quest. I laughed, I pwned, much fun was had. Except for this one part... [bleep] YOU, NOSTRILLA. Oh, and I was devastated when SUPER SPOILERS Phil ended up killing those two little puppies... I thought they'd just run away or do something cute, not just die like that END SUPER SPOILERS

Edit: Hoho wrong thread. Back on topic: Just went pking last night. It was awesome. I got like 3 kills and died twice. Slaughter is SUPER annoying, but if you have Freedom, it isn't that bad as long as you stay vigilant.

So I can finally have buried treasure of me own? Yarrr!

Why no abilities? That kinda defeats the point of the EoC.

I noticed the same thing... I kinda wish this AkWasp guy would just GTFO.

Strike spells = 1 air + 1 element (only air for air spells, this is the case for all strike-surge) Bolt = 2 air + 2 element etc. Surge = 5 air + 5 element Barrage spells = 2 blood + 5 other (now all the ancient spells have elements tied to them, as you may already know) Not exactly sure about the others. Some lower level ancient spells use deaths. Magic is cheaper, but if you dual wield a wand and a book, you can burn through a lot of runes very quickly. Most of your damage comes from abilities, just like all combat now. The magic abilities seem uninteresting and rather unsatisfying. I wish they'd at least have different colors you glow for different elements - it seems you glow blue for just about every ability. The animations are repetitive shit compared to melee and range. Ice spells seem super over-powered currently, even more so than they were before. They bind for less time, but now they "stun", preventing enemies from attacking or using abilities. If you dual-cast, you can pretty much stunlock your target indefinitely. Probably isn't 100% foolproof in PvP, but I was getting pwnd by it (only single casted) in Soul Wars.

Subtlety, thy name is abyssal gaze. This crap hardly shows up through helmets, and at the wrong angle, it looks like shitty mascara. Best case scenario, you look like you have empty eye sockets. Sure, that's spooky in its own right, but I was expecting it to be a bit more... noticeable. Jagex, if you can hear me, do us all a favor and combine all the "gaze" auras into one. Allow us to switch between the colors. Refunds would be much appreciated for those who bought multiple (I know I won't after seeing this shit). P.S. Gazes don't appear during most special animations, such as woodcutting, fishing, most skill-based stuff. While running around and in combat, however, it still shows. I definitely don't recommend getting these auras. Wait till they're on sale at least, maybe Jagex will listen to my above plea someday...

Oh God, I could only imagine the mass hysteria that would ensue if that stayed up for more than a minute.
