MOAR LOOT but yeah, that's pretty much why div is still better than ely for nex tho w/ the 500M price difference you might as well buy a pernix piece, and i think (not sure about cowl) any pernix piece + ely >> div

And if you use ely you'll chew trough brews, which lower stats. By calculations, divine is clearly better. actually, they are about equal in inventory spaces saved (within 1-2 inventory spaces saved) divine is still a little bit better

damage-reducing items increase dps. i'm still confident that range > melee. the reason maz's group supposedly does better is because, i assume, you all own div/ely. none of us aside from soma (who tanks and does reavers) has div/ely. with nex gear or div/ely we will probably go 3:1, 4:2, 5:3, or 6:4 (people:killspertrip). we've already one 5:3, so 5:4 wouldn't be too unreasonable with better gear.

what prayer books are you guys using? we're all using modern so that may be the difference.

just tried maul. final outdpsed me 3x in a row. lol @maul.

have a hard time believing 6:30 a kill. also, your cost per kill is exaggerated in your favor. + with more people you have 1) increased risk of people not splitting 2) longer bank times 3) longer grouping time (before the trip).

no; point in arguing with someone' who' has such, abysmal, grammar!

i stand corrected, rubies have won like 90% of the time probably

1. recorded xp has consistently been higher w rubies. around 10% higher. 2. ruby spec hits 500 whenever the spec activates. diamond only has like a 10% damage boost on spec 3. in our ffas the person who wins haqs always been a ruby herpdederp

8 man is way inefficient as long as you can all bank within like 5 mins 6 people max, 3 kills per trip is the way i do it. usu about 1.5 ovls ruby + arma is WAYYYYYY better than void(no deflector)+diamonds as far as range DPS goes. and karils+barrows+neit has comparable dps to full void melee. ill try melee again, but im skeptical

cowl alone wont make you consistently trio also get boots lol

that original post was mainly addressing bandos. you dont actually see that many people crash tds or dks (despite the fact that i also talk about those in the post)

http://forum.tip.it/topic/279756-an-elitists-view-on-crashing/

this is why bandos is one of the worst pvm bosses, idk why people care about bandos so much. anyway, you should go into bandos knowing full well that you're gonna face people like this. dks and tds are way better for this reason. it's probably the easiest way to do bandos, lol. if i could find a noob to crash on every server, you'd see me crashing every world.

ive tried maul 4 times and have been disappointed with it every time. i still stick to my arma's trusty +10 range attack (vs karil), +3 prayer, higher def, and high mage soak than void (still will do void, probably with deflector, but only for 4:1. arma for 6:3 and 5:2). i prefer 5 or 6 man over 4. once i get pernix i'll be going for consistent 4:2's and 5:3's. we've done 5:3 before, could probably do 4:2, but it's a tiny bit inconsistent.

bs 30k tokens/hr = 2.7M/hr playing the most fun minigame in rs? yes please! -- also, t6 vs t8 or whatever doesn't make as big of a difference. what matters more: -- people who are FAST to tele to gds -- people who are eager to attack (even when food is low) -- people who have the right weapon bind -- avoid overkill loss focus on these and you'll be getting zerker more. for most people in 3bo even, idc if youre t10 zerk, i could be t6 zerk and probably outdps you with a prom 2h to your primal 2h. its all about being fast and active.

even at their low prices now, nex is still 25m/h lol

B2B Pernix coif & legs Free ely?

ccbow rigour yak ovl

You should bring Dragon Mace special. It hits much harder than hack Dragon Claws. You should pray turmoil on it. It allows me to nex sweep. Amidoinitrite

i prefer arma over void. more soak (which takes a little bit of the edge off certain forms). it has higher accuracy -> more consistent hits than void. void is annoying to use with melee i was also getting more XP with arma than void setups (both regular void and void/deflector)

90+ dg preferred, i personally wouldn't take anyone below 80. THREE THINGS: be open to criticism gate doors BE responsive

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

havent tried it at all yet i'm not intending to keep it as my only wep, i'm waiting for the 4th bind quest to come out (possibly next month). then ill be hood neck 2h staff

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