I think he already knew that. I don't think he doubted that the SS was better for training, he just stated he didn't like 2h weapons. No need to basically call him stupid (trust me, that's what you basically said) So...you're point? The scimmy isn't useless either, think back before you had 70+ attack. How useless was it then? It's not good for high levels, but for the lower combat leveled players, it's the best they can get, so how exactly is it useless? I think i was already or almost 99 attack when the dragon scimitar was released so... I also got 99 strength using dragon scimitar(as it was the best weapon back then). As he didn't give any logical reasons for not using a SS, he practically is stupid, as realistically, there is no reason he should not use SS. I understand that the scimitar can be useful from 60 to 70 attack, but that is not the case with OP or significant.

Erm, you are comparing the new sword to something almost completely useless, and it's BETTER? that's a bummer. In any case, your reasoning for not using SS/CR are not reasons, rather justifications why you want to roll around in a wheelchair. Don't get me wrong, i'm fine with you using KS, but if other people look at you differently for it, it is for a good reason.

Certs only existed for a very limited amount of resources so i wouldn't put them as the only means of rsc trading. RSC practically forced you to DIY for efficiency.

Yeah, sorry for being so superficial and blatantly dismissing it :oops: Thanks for the confirmation though. But in any case, i think korasi sword+claw(with vigour) spec on TD's would be deadly combo, with spec restores you should be able to to use the combo on like every second TD.

You do understand, L6vi and M Oldfield are both RSC products and RSC is pretty much 5x times slower exp-wise and gameplay-wise than RS2 is. No gilded altars, no make-X, no notes, pretty much no everything. L6vi only played for a very short while(around 1,5 years) and ended up with ~1330 skill total before he quit, with very little to none xp in the skills that were released during the while he was trying to quit(thieving and agility, i think, but not 100% sure). He maintained rank 1 for around 6 months after he had quit. The current stats are not trained by him(he ended with 88 in melee stats), rather the account has long been sold/scammed/we. As for buying/selling being a problem, i think that was only a major issue in rsc where trading could take ages. In rs2, i found little to no problem getting the seeds needed for 99 farming(while they were in great demand; i used small merchants to buy in bulk) or the potion ingredients for 99 herblore, just selling was a major harassment(i had to sell around 20k super sets).

Obviously not. Mage basing means that the accuracy of the damage is calculated based on opponents defense against magical attacks, it's still a melee attack. Yeah its a mage based melee attack. That means its attack power is determined by your melee abilities; but it is blocked by the opponents magic defence; and it still counts as a melee attack. Yup I used it at tds it's always fun getting it to pray mage and continue meleeing, although it's not as effective as claws/maul on those :\ Wait so if you hit over 300 with it, the TD switches to pray mage? If that's true, considering demons have very low magic def, it could be the best spec weapon for TD's from now on- with claws, you'd be forced to switch to range after special, but now you can efficiently get two melee >31 hits in. Can anyone confirm the mage xp from spec? i find it hard to believe.

What? I didn't understand anything you said. Korasi's sword could be a decent spec weapon at best, but nothing more. Whip has been useless since dungeoneering, godswords either from their release(as DPS weapons) or since dclaws/EE. The Zamorakian Spear and the Saradomin Sword aren't getting much reputation either. So it makes sense now to just get 80 Dungeoneering and get a Chaotic Rapier/Longsword, despite continuing costs to recharge them. Against bosses maybe, but i detest chaotic weapons as a slayer weapon. The 2mil every 10 hours is equal to 200k an hour. Now I can slay with piety on during every task for a similar cost and probably kill faster then with a chaotic weapon and no piety. You need to make around 500k an hour for rapier to be worth it for slayer, assuming xp has no value. Thus, unless you are a complete noob, rapier is clearly a slayer weapon. Not to mention it's much more fun to slay with a rapier.

fixed.

Happens to me aswell, but there's a solution- skip all tasks but ice wyrms(or ice wyrms and abyssals). I really like to ''camp'' 2k ice wyrms in a row.

Don't forget pvp- magic almost has KO power with ice barrage+ all boosts, a combo of rapier and maul will cover everything in terms of melee pvp(hogh def- maul, low def/tanking- rapier).

Interesting- what ever number you hit(699 or 800), it appears as though you get the xp as though you'd just hit a 500(267 xp). Bug or..?

Any numerical proof of this sucking? as in how many kills less an hour or...? Because, as far as i can tell(and i've only tried rapier), it's great(with defender). No literal "numerical proof", i'm just saying it's bad cause it's just really annoying to use. you don't hit over 300 as often so it's a lot more annoying to time titan specs. Not everything has to be numerical :P with maul, it's a lot easier: if i see X amount of xp on my xp bar, I instantly click titan spec; with rapier, I have to deal with the hassle of adding hits. Umm...why not stick to the maul then? Obviously this is just a case of enjoyability(or bear-ability, which ever you like), just like ranging frost dragons. If you really don't plan on any ranging, staff should be the best bet.

Since when is it better to range frosts? It really depends on what you consider better. For me, if you factor in enjoyability, it is more efficient. In any case, range gets 98% of the kills you would get with melee, costs 300k more an hour and is ALOT less click heavy(the thing most people don't like about frost dragons). In a purely gp/xp/h scale, you are right, it's not. Any numerical proof of this sucking? as in how many kills less an hour or...? Because, as far as i can tell(and i've only tried rapier), it's great(with defender).

Rigour for frosts, cstaff for dk's and cls for bandos, pick your poison(i don't see CLS having a significant advantage over rapier at TD's with titan). I'd personally get rigour- it offers the biggest advantage of these three.

What? I didn't understand anything you said. Korasi's sword could be a decent spec weapon at best, but nothing more. Whip has been useless since dungeoneering, godswords either from their release(as DPS weapons) or since dclaws/EE. For high level dgers its worthless but for other people its probably better than the SS meaning training strength just got that much easier, add in a great spec for multy and I see myself finishing terror dog task much faster. Not to mention other multy tasks, hellhounds ect.. It's the same as SS or worse, at best. The special alone will not be significant on a task. New chapter? it's barely another sentence. In case you haven't noticed yet, it's just slightly better than dragon scim, only plus being the claw-esque special attack.

I assume you'd already had a high prayer bonus with that calculation, but with rune bolt/rune crossbow/deflector void setup, there will be a bigger difference between 6 and 10 prayer bonus, or an MSB setup where you would have 13 prayer bonus instead of 5. With hand cannon, i agree, the effect isn't huge(20 vs. 12), but will certainly allow for longer trips. On a related note, i really should get void mage helm and test the setup out at frosts.

Slayer isn't the only thing in the world. The fact that the reward could be useless to you because you ignore some parts of the game is your problem, and can't be used for judgment on the reward. In any case, void is recommended for alot of the best combat moneymakers in game, and this makes void quite a bit better(and allows for longer TD/frost trips).

Shouldn't it be western most point? Shouldn't it be north-western? Yeah, sorry for my ignorance. Also, with the new void quest out(and me being more or less inactive and needing to do 3 quests for it), would anyone be able to post a picture of the hand cannon setup with elite void top/bottom.

I seem to recall this game having a combat triangle, not a combat dot? curses are the best prayers for killing armadyl and maging frost dragons. You certainly won't need 95 for those(though 71 won't do either). As he states, he would only use it for slayer, and I'm pretty sure Frost dragons and Armadyl aren't slayer monsters. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you have much better knowledge about the monsters you mentioned (especially frost dragons), but those monsters aren't relevant, unless you wanted to refer to... ... which I didn't see from your post :P I just stated some really obvious examples where neither augury nor rigour would even be better than curses. Obviously there are quite a few examples of where curses would be better for mage/range slaying before reaching 95(or even 92) prayer. Your answer just assumed that slaying is only done by melee(and as he isn't 99 range/magic yet, it's not a fair assumption).

Void is only the best DPS armor for melee and range classes, with one of the only drawbacks being the lack of prayer bonus...clearly a terrible update.

Speed? special attack(i think it wasn't in the kb yet)?

This will be great for hand cannoning (or ranging at all) frost dragons- an additional 8 or 4 prayer bonus.
