to model that situation well you'd need to use markov chains. grimy has a semi-working model on it; i don't (and don't plan on working on one). you should ask grimy to work on his model and then tell you. no one is realistcally gonna have overheads in a proper mage duel. but just for clarity, i'm pretty sure mage pray > ss. also back in the day people used shadow (smoke? i forgot) instead of ice. one is more accurate than the other.

Yeah this is totally true, I should have mentioned it in my post But for the first day at least, there's a bunch of random noobs you can take advantage of

LOL you caught me So leeches are: +5% magic -10% to opponent <-- at start +10% magic -25% to opponent <-- at end (~2 mins?) Augury is 20% magic attack 25% magic defense So leech vs ancient: At first, augury is better 5%/5% vs 10%/15% At end, leech is better 10%/10% vs -5%/0% Not much math involved here, it obviously depends on how long the increase/leech effect takes, and I have no good idea of that speed. Off the top of my head I would say augury is better.

there are people offering 400m in w2 and no one is selling

just bought an ely 405m, first thing ge update

There's a difference between having a BASIC understanding of something and no understanding whatsoever O wait that difference is mostly just common sense

800M

i'm not advocating my advice as any good indicator - but personally i expect ely to be around 450m when it stabilizes.

Close to 0 ely: maybe. Purp: No way. What are you talking about, that's nowhere close to ely

Close to 0

Ely is 410-420m and rising btw (according to rsof)

... why do i disapprove of jagex again? owait. look at this thread.

TIF has become a lot like the RSOF since the revelation of "Wildy coming back." :thumbdown: Wish a lot of the people who quit after 12/10 stayed quit. At the very least, I would have thought they'd have grown up a little since then. Nope, once a derp always a derp. Judging from your generalisation, and the use of an irritating and inappropriate meme, they're not the only ones who need to grow up a little. I get very sick of this attitude sometimes. Actually I've noticed a deterioration of this community since the whole efficiency wave came along. People started trolling topics which they had little interest in just because they didn't play the "right" way. Just my observations. No, it's become worse because of a combination of generalists, unwillingness to accept reasonable logic, pride, and overall stubbornness. Oh, also holding grudges. Which both this and your post show. Anyway, I digress. This is a dumb thread.

how did whip get 12 votes blasphemy! time to slap the inefficency clows with the rubber chicken of reality!

Jagex doesnt like pures so it shouldnt be a surprise to you that they are taking measures that advantage non-pures The best combat account should always be 99 everything.

^ do you not have 96 summ I'm really excited that Jagex implemented this system. They realized that otherwise it'd basically be impossible to properly balance summoning levels with combat ability.

Yes, i am (the rest of us are hex binds)

Not to be harsh, but the main point of Economic Ignorance is to say that changes to the economy are happening. Isn't that really obvious anyway?

Sometimes the 40 hitsplats my blood neck generates aren't bright red and are instead the dark red (indicating the attack isn't mine but it's someone else's). When this happens, I don't heal. Is this a glitch?

idgaf about the gp, Ive always been poor in RS, I care about the Chaotic items that I spent easily over 150 hours getting. Ive worked so hard over the past year to get good gear and Items and then I get [Cabbaged] on. If doing that to people is how the little kids in this game get their kicks, then I dont want to play anymore dung for fun, with friends; plus u only really need 3 chaotics (maul rapier cbow) your torva helm is worth like 1000x the time of ur chaotics lol

prom2h i think is slightly better than prim bax

the thing with celestial cat staff is that it's 286 max hit for air surge with celestial cat vs 308 max hit for fire surge with emp fire. The difference is ultimately 1.077x higher. The thing is if you use a celestial cat, you don't go out of your way to make fire runes. 7.7% isn't huge. but if there is down time, make a few fire runes on an RC altar you find while GDing. Monsters will drop water/earth/fire runes you can utilize as well. 10 fire surges with emp fire staff is 3080 max damage 7 air surges and 3 fire surges with celestial cat staff is 3094 max damage. That's how I like to think of it. You only need enough down time/fire rune drops to fire surge 3 out of every 10 magic spells. In order to justify a celestial cat staff over an emp fire. celestial cat is also better on runebound since airsurge is lower mage lvl to fire. ^ yeah grimy pretty much just explained the reasoning that i didn't go into deatil on, but we talked about this and agreed on this basic consensus you can also pick up random runes like water or earth and use those too

With berserker, rapier is always better for stabbing and slashing than spear. Having a spear in addition to any melee weapon sounds really stupid as the whole point of it is to be a good overall weapon without berserker. Pure melee dps would actually be rapier/hood/neck/(brace/boots/gloves). I mean it's been shown that rapier inaccuracy makes it worse than 2h lol Even with the addition of bloodneck + Gold precision [Flameburst]? I could do that calculation but i'll bet you good money that it doesnt make a difference (also, gold precision and flameburst are a lot worse than gaunts/boots)
