Any difference that you notice is a product of your imagination, lack of data collection, and a small sample size. Which does not help the cause of Dual CCB in any shape or form. If dual CCB and Royal Crossbow do indeed kill at the same rate, then Royal Crossbow wins hands down, because you dont have the repair cost to contend with, or the dg requirement, or the increased bolt costs due to increased usage of bolts.

As far as I can discern, Royal Crossbow no longer degrades, I have been using it for a while myself and it never degraded a single %

That's assuming on single target, AoEs 2h wins absolutely hands down. The disparity in abilities (in both the raw damage from abilities and the mechanics behind them) needs to be corrected before that statement becomes remotely true. In fact, DW melee is the only style at the moment you can LOSE dps by ability spamming, very few basics actually increases the dps of DW. From what I can see, it is extremely (i mean extremely) difficult to justify obtaining any chaotics beside the Maul at the moment. Staff is a joke of a weapon, and everything else are 1h'ers.

They can do all they want to 1h weapons, but as long as they don't balance it properly, it will ALWAYS be inferior choice to 2h weapons. So in that respect, Chaotic claws adds absolutely nothing for me. And neither did T90 1h from KK.

Simply put the ore on the action bar and repeatedly spam/hold the key it is assigned to

There is another way to rescale the armor other than buffing the higher armor sets: Nerf the lower armors, which I am more inclined to believe thats what they will do. Hell it might even be just a numbers game. They could set it so that the armor values give dimishing returns as the armor gets higher, so while the values are higher, the actual result might not chance. But I think the main ludicrousness of the update is in this very sentence: Why the F would you want to do T70 content when you have T70 gear??? And how are you supposed to do T80 content when you needed T80 in the first place. It's like making it so that you'd need something like Shadowmourne to do Icecrown Citadel raids, but Shadowmourne comes FROM ICC itself...

And eventually being botted the crap out of, like Ganodermics are these days. I also think they are trying to fix the problem with dual wielding by giving us dual wield weapons with higher max tier than 2h counter parts so dual wield doesn't look so bad, in this case, giving us T90 dual wield who is probably just as powerful as a T80 2h weapon, while they dont have to do the work of 'balancing' dual wield abilities and mechanics. Seriously Jagex, why do you make it so hard for us to justify anything you do these days?

So basically this update now makes the rich get richer and poor gets poor...

I avoid the Spice like a plague, I am already barely doing 6 hook voyages a day and I am not 'wasting' them on Spices when port resources as port resources are far too crucial for me. And when I do get things going, I feel Rocktail soup will most likely be the first of the PoP to crash to the rock bottom, so most likely I will be using Rocktail soups for myself. Assuming I am actually using food that is. Which means, for me, Rocktail soup scrolls will be the very last scroll I will be working on, and I have no plans to change that.

This is what I did: Drag him to the opposite end of the room from the lava fountain, this give you more time to react to stun him. Keep your stun until he turns around to heal, then stun him on your next available ability time. The stun will ALWAYS hit. DO NOT try to stun him before he starts to turn around. The time between his attempts to heal should be the same as your stun cooldown, so it is imperative that you keep your stuns available at all times. Mage is the preferred method because the stun, Impact, is a ranged ability, rather than melee stun. Ice spells also work as stun I believe.

Too busy getting 'Efficient' probably

My shopping results this sale: Saints Row the Third full package $7.49 Orcs Must Die 2 complete package $6.24 Terraria $3.39 KotOR I $2.49 KotOR II $2.49 Razor 2 Hidden Skies $1.99 Skyrim Hearthfire $3.32 Mass Effect Collection (ME1 and ME2 Deluxe) $29.98 The Witchers Enhanced $2.50 The Witchers 2 $7.49 Trine Collection $8.74 Total $76.12 My wallet is wailing badly

I should have mentioned where I can get into a house in the first place :P Anyway, really really last purchases: Trine Collection.

Nope, all untrimmed capes trim themselves as soon as you get 99, even ones you have equipped on. The only incidence where I am not certain is when you lose members and get your second 99 on f2p world, but I am pretty sure it trims it there also.

The 'When you leave the party, mess up the room' thing... I guess they got bored, don't care about the game anymore and decided to abuse it for the giggles, then leave it at that. Tis the society nowadays.

Er... Occultist is RC adventurer, the Thieving one is Convict... You could build monuments by the port to increase your chances of getting occultist though, I built one for Biologist and Missionary, and in the past 3 days at least one of them showed up. Assassin have been absent for sometime though.

What don't you like about Terraria? I'm a very avid fan of the game, and will definitely help people get the most from it. Basically the 'what the hell am I supposed to do here?' thing, the guide shows me how to see what raw materials can be crafted into what, but so far the only thing I could figure out was convert bronze coin into silver. I have no idea how the house, crafting works, or where I am even supposed to go/do. I hit a cliff pretty soon above ground, and digging deep ended up me being blind and drowned in a pool of water. Not exactly what you would call a good start. But I have open ears/eyes on where I should start etc. Also, as my last purchases, I bought KotOR I and II, ME 1 & 2, and Hearthfire and some Vertical scroller.

Always wanted to play that series, but now I am really surprised that 1 and 2 are on steam, but 3 is on Origin O_o;;

Didn't you say you were not going to be buying anymore games from sometime onwards? I swore you did :P

I am still in the hook region, thanks to my work time, these days i only literally have enough time to send special voyages and maybe a round of voyages, so I am still around 90% into the hook. On a brighter side, got my 10th scroll from yesterday, sent another one out today. The saradomin symbol seem to work attracting the missionary anyway

I am almost convinced that the 'girl' that boosts random chance actually decreases it. Yesterday one of my voyages gave me a random (who didnt have good fortune), but the one with good fortune didn't. Tis a conspiracy I say!

Not to mention that in order to make those things technically impossible, it would be 'technically impossible' to play the game. If a game can be played by humans, it can be played by bots. I have yet to find a single exception to this.

I am still 80% or so into the hook region, work doesnt play nice with ports, but I think I may have done something wrong. Instead of doing lower regions for port upgrades during work days and longer ones during weekends/holidays, I did it the other way round... I as of now, I am very behind. Managed to get my 9th scroll last night though, completed Sea Singer top and Gem Mining scrimshaw, working on Sea Singer bottom now.

Picked up Terraria yesterday for about $3.40, although to be very honest, I am not very impressed by how the game starts out.

But generally speaking, if you can use a 2h for that style, use 2h. Their abilities is better than dual wielding by quite a margin.
