1) I don't get it. What's wrong with mages in PvP? 2) It could be that the ranger is attacking a far-off target (off the picture) and the meleer just left combat. In other words, those two may not be fighting each other at all. I was just mocking the fact that mage is the most underpowered combat skill :P

This is true, but note that Jad's attacks are illusive and don't actually "begin" until midway through the animation. For a typical monster, there's just that one instant in which the attack is created and sent at you. If you have the prayer on during that instant, then the attack will be disregarded. For Jad, however, there's no "instant" in which the attack is created and sent; rather, there is a period consisting of the preparatory attack animation (creating the meteor/stomping on the ground) followed by another period of the attack continuously registering. Basically, you need to have prayer on at all times for all of Jad's attacks. But I'm sure most of you already knew better than to attempt pray flashing on Jad >_>

As much as I enjoy hearing Sworddude's knowledgeable critique of what it means to be a badass, let's get back to passing around stories rather than discussing what it means to be a badass :)

I'm pretty skinny... 5'8 and 125 lbs. I just started weightlifting in October - I could barely bench the bar when I started. I max at 110lbs now, so in a few weeks I'll be able to bench my own body weight :thumbsup: I'm trying to bench double my body weight by the time I graduate from college. My friend whom I work out with started out at like 90 lbs, unable to bench the bar but within 3 years he could bench double his bodyweight when he weighed 150 lbs

If its only attack styles are crush, then it will NEVER hit ANY enemy. If any offensive stat is less than -65, it'll never hit. Try hitting a chicken w/ -65 crush att from flowers, archer helm, and berserker necklace - it'll never happen. Same applies to magic when wearing metal armor. You can kill any monster if your att bonus is -64 or greater, but as soon as it reaches -65, you'll have 0% accuracy.

lol I'm laughing at and with Jard at the same time :D

Poor parenting and lack of self-respect makes kids fat, not RS

I've been retired since January, sorry :P

I really can't stand the way RS is now - part of the reason it used to be fun was because of its simplicity and sub-par graphics. I think in attempting to compete with high-quality games, they sort of lost their novelty. It'd be nice if they created "nostalgia worlds" or something - like worlds which have all the updates up to 2005 or so. I think the game started taking a turn for a worse a little after everybody became obsessed with strength bonuses and Jagex started dishing out more and more overkill equipment The game as a whole has definitely deteriorated over time... hard to believe it's still survived through the RWT updates.

You should factor in the geyser titan as well ;)

Use a ring of life - it's been proven several times that a further magic att bonus is negligible beyond about +70 magic att.

It really depends on what you're after... dharoking monkey skeletons in the tunnels is the fastest XP but really expensive, zombie monkeys are the second-fastest and completely AFK'able but only cost 40k/hour, and armored zombies are fast, gain 100k gp/hour apparently, but require a lot of attention as well as competition

Claws are about 1/100... I recall getting like 3 shards in 250 kills, then 3 claws within the next 50 kills

the corporeal beast is sort of like that, in the sense that it's seemingly impossible alone. it'd be nice to have another fight cave-esque minigame - it doesn't even have to be multiplayer. it's my favorite minigame for a reason btw if you want a challenge - try killing Jad w/ wind strike \

That's not true - in terms of accuracy, smoke barrage* > ice barrage > shadow barrage > blitzes > blood barrage :thumbup: *smoke barrage is sporadically accurate - if it hits once, it is very likely that it will start a string of accurate casts. ice barrage would be the most "reliably" accurate spell, though

I let people at my fraternity see me play it (when I played). Funny thing is, one of my friends even said "Oh you play RuneScape? I played that too for a while!"

haha that's actually a good idea

Have you considered Zammy brews for meleeing? They restore prayer and boost att/str but lower def and hp. They can't kill you either

It's 'm' in Greek :thumbup:

Nobody RWTs anymore... or at least, not on a scale large enough to give anybody a legitimate reason to be bothered by it. Most people on RS need to quit worrying about other people and worry about themselves

I'm sure most people took the alt code bug into consideration when they entered a pvp world, not to mention that it has a warning about alt code bugs! Wait not it doesn't.... [sarcasm/] It's essentially the same as accepting the warning, knowing that you may legitimately lose connection. They're not gonna do a rollback - they never did one for the Fally massacre so I doubt they'll do it here

It's the most efficient method, but you both need to both range and melee. It sorta defeats the purpose of duo'ing if you're never attacking simultaneously

Nothing, hence my retired status :)

I get 85k xp/hour as well, and I'm 12 att and 12 str levels below you :P Also, I don't need to pay any attention whatsoever ... no need to go up and recharge pray every minute or pick up drops

hahaha I remember that... I "interviewed" a lot of them, asking what they were digging for Some said the Christmas gifts Some said money Some said spades :-s
