Just tried to chop the trees again. Got one log from the Soul Wars tree, two from the Ritual site and two from the Darkmeyer tree. Didn't even bother doing the wilderness ones. The bleeding effect from the body shot doesn't even damage you every second. It damages you at scimitar speed (or every 2.4 seconds), haha

The fact that those trees have a respawn rate of six hours and most people seem to be getting 2 - 3 logs per tree on average, I can't see the bolts going for less than 3k gp per shot for a while.

They're bad for PvM and bad for PvP. The only bolt special that is decent is the head shot one, but since most mages wear a melee helm, you're better off using dragon (e) bolts or something... A big disappointment really. The body shot effect is laughable as well. Just make the bolts work like the hexhunter bow does. How difficult can it be? >.>

Looks like a graphical glitch to me.

Polypore staff isn't even affected by the bolt effect, lol

And Magic remains the most powerful PvP skill. Sigh.

The reduce in cast speed and magic accuracy is nice. Makes mages splash a ton on void armor. The bleeding effect is kind of underwhelming. The run energy drain is nice as well. It drains run energy very fast and the target also doesn't regenerate any energy. Coupled with bolas you could stop mages from escaping entirely.

"Hybrid armour no longer applies the damage boost in Castle Wars twice." Ah, damn it!

Oh dear it might happen this year. Awesome. About time...

For mage slaying, skip or cancel jungle strykewyrm, desert strykewyrm, spiritual mages and dark beasts. But save for dark beasts, you shouldn't be doing those with Melee either anyway. You can mage everything else.

Cool. It's annoying when clicks take long to respond, even in a 25 ping world. Now just fix leech curses as well please...

Bolts are only useful in PvP.

I wish I could get a refund on my Dark Magic aura. It is so bad.

I still had a pretty decent night rest, lol. I'll do the kiln in a bit with void and normal prayers. I'll post the results later.

Wow. That's impressive.

I don't think goliath gloves can hit 0 on activation. The gloves deal their own damage when it activates (around 1-150 or so?) and there is no combat icon to display what kind of damage it does.

I don't think so. I've had swfit gloves activations that hit 0-0 and spellcaster gloves activations that splashed.

Spellcaster gloves have had their activation rate increased with the last update. Based on 211 casts, the activation rate turned out to be around 1/10.

I should go to bed as well. I have to get up at 6:30AM. I'll definitely do a couple of runs tomorrow.

I think jad's weakness depends on what monsters you have fought since the last cutscene where the tokhaar guy introduces the new wave of monsters. For example, the wave 10 jad would be weak to melee. The wave 20 jad to range. The wave 30 jad to mage. I don't know about the rest. Oddly enough, all melee and range damage (with the exception of familiars and dreads) is reduced but mage isn't.

I wouldn't use range at that level. Stick to mage and melee.

Steel titan isn't great on some of the jads, mainly the wave 30 one.

No idea how many scrolls I use. I'll pay attention to it the next time.

But swift gloves are only a tiny dps boost, I'm sure void deflector w/ goliaths and tribriding is better dps than ganodermic+Armadyl+Bandos and swift+goliath+helmet scrolls. Tts defence is (too) low. Void's defence isn't much of a problem if you know how to lure the monsters. I don't know if it's better DPS than normal armor with helmet scrolls. I doubt it.
