  1. Apart from the fact that you'd be better off binding sagit body and making grave short(takes no time), it's not worth it really. The tiers of shortbows basically suck real bad due to having same max damage output, and having a ranger without a hex doesn't help the team too much(meleers will pile mages anyway so you'll have little to range).

     

    Thanks. I'll stick to Melee and Magic then.

  2. Maging Necrolord is alright. Without any armor Fire Surge has around 65% accuracy on it.

     

    Maging him has better DPS then ranging other then Hex bow :P

     

    (this is assuming you make an empowered fire/using magic potion)

     

    Oops, I meant Gravecreeper. I always confuse Gravecreeper with Necrolord lol...

  3. I'm using a shadow silk hood, promethium 2h, celestial catalytic staff and a celestial surgebox right now with tier 9 Berserker and tier 9 Blitzer. It works awesome. If I were you, I would destroy that staff, bind a promethium platebody and imbune an empowered fire staff every floor. I wouldn't bother using Blaster. Use Berserker when meleeing and Blazer/Blitzer when maging.

     

    Fire surge with a celestial catalytic staff with tier 10 Blitzer does around 18% more damage than a meleer with a primal 2h, 99 Strength and tier 10 Berserker. This isn't counting in Turmoil though.

  4. So did anyone try out Magic on Nex lately? I'm still wondering if Jagex changed her magical defence or this guy who claimed he had a 65% accuracy rate with full Magic gear, Augury and Ice Barrage was lying.

  5. Fire Surge with an empowered fire staff and T10 Blitzer is 2% more raw DPS than 99 Strength, Promethium 2h and T10 Berserker without Turmoil. Fire Surge with a celestial catalytic staff and T10 Blitzer is 18% more DPS than the same meleer. Again without Turmoil.

     

    I bound a celestial catalytic staff as well. I don't really need a platebody to help me so I bound the staff to me as my third bind.

  6. You really think 4 more Ranged attack is going to make any difference when full Ranged armor is already +220ish Ranged attack? I think the damage soaking and magical defence on the shield would be better than 4 more Ranged attack in the long run. Okay... I haven't gone to Nex myself, so I can't really judge I guess.

  7. How good is Magic compared to Melee in Dungeoneering? Fire Surge with a celestial catalytic staff with T10 Blitzer compared to 99 Strength, Primal 2h and T10 Berserker?

    fire surge with celestial cat staff is better damage output than a primal 2h without turmoil.

    It's mostly the trouble of getting the fire surge runes.

    Because even if you have endless fire surge with celestial cat staff, there's still the trouble of getting the fire runes which takes time.

    celestial cat is not a bad 3rd bind though.

     

    Thanks. I have bound a celestial catalytic staff to me a couple of days ago (ditched my platebody for it) and I can't say I've had any problems with running out of fire runes. You need 417 rune essence to make 1250 fire runes which is 20850 coins and monsters can drop more than 100 rune essence at once sometimes. I just craft the runes whenever there's nothing to do.

    I thought you might find this interesting. I was doing c1s with a random team, and one of them said they lost their chaotic staff at Nex. When I asked him what Magic on Nex is like, he said it was pretty good with Augury (around 65% accuracy). He was using Ice Barrage throughout the entire kill (so on all phases). Perhaps somebody can try this out with Augury to confirm this? I can remember people saying they splashed more than 20 times in a row on Nex on her release date. Maybe they've done some changes to her magical defence?

  9. I'd like to join. 104 Dungeoneering, Promethium 2h, Promethium platebody (although I'm looking for a celestial catalytic staff to replace it), shadow silk hood and a celestial surgebox. Tier 9 Blazer and tier 9 Berserker. 90/89/90 in Melee stats, 95 Prayer, 99 Ranged, 99 Magic and 92 Summoning.

     

    They'll probably urge you to get blitzer instead of blazer, other then that, sounds pretty perfect if you ask me :P

     

    Why? Aren't Blazer and Blitzer nearly identical when it comes to DPS? And Blazer may save a couple of runes.

  10. only person ever to have neck/hood/cat staff bind setup?

    So you've gone pure mage?

     

    for now, yes. it's quite powerful and definitely rivals melee.

    it's a nice 4th bind for people who are DPS oriented. would not recommend as a 3rd bind though.

     

    advantages:

    -- conserve pray because it's easy to lure

    -- conserve food because it's easy to lure

    -- get to attack opponents faster (no need to waste time running towards them)

    -- higher raw dps than melee

    -- in some cases, much higher accuracy than melee

    -- some magic defense (+20)

     

    disadvantages:

    -- in some cases, low accuracy

    -- some bosses are immune to magic

    -- have to make fire runes repeatedly

    -- easy to run out of runes

    -- doesn't work well with blood necklace

     

    I don't understand why you would bind a celestial catalytic staff over an empowered fire staff. Wind Surge has a max hit of 286 with the celestial catalytic staff and Fire Surge has a max hit of 308 with an empowered fire staff. You're sacrificing a bind for a staff that is similiar to a staff that can be made from T8+ logs.

  11. Let's say I'm going to duel somebody, with Magic off, but Melee and special attacks on. Does the ZGS special still work? Would freezing them, and then standing under them, hitting them with a chaotic weapon, and standing under them again work?
