C rapier vs C longsword
how accurate is maul against 300+ crush def?

Dungeoneering
good to include would be important levels that are useful in dungeon (e.g. 54 rc for laws)

Solo Bandos with Turmoil / SS
On runs where I don't use OL (i.e. extremes), my maximum has been 8 kills. Granted, I do have a yak. Max with OL so far is about 20. Could be much higher.

Chaotic is better than Divine/Elysian
Chaotic > Divine/Ely Why? Cost. :thumbup:

First familiarisation run with SS/Turmoil. Makes things SO much easier. :thumbup: :? :wall:

C rapier vs C longsword
anyone saving their tokens for batch 2? :thumbup:

C rapier vs C longsword
I prefer longsword because its slower speed makes prayer flashing and attack timing easier. I also don't want to use a stick to kill people.

Spicy Stew
Withdraw 5 at a time for overloads, not 4. Store torstols in a BoB. -- makes withdrawing easier. -- better to do more overloads per login because you're using stews

Using Magic at TD's
I just tried it with +75 Mage attack, and it was very inaccurate. I wasn't praying mage boost at all, though.

3rd Age/Spirit shields/Phats Discussion
Don't forget though that you are paying an extra 200k/h. (might even be more if it degrades faster because of bandos ranged attacks and the specs kicking in), probably on top of 200k/h for your CLS. That's already 400k an h more than just whip + divine/ely. Exactly why I think Spectral > Eagle Eye. Chaotic and Mage's Shield are arguable, though. Stack Chaotic with a steel titan, and you have over +100 melee defense just for the shield slot. Full tank gear you have about 475 melee defense :ohnoes: For PvM/MH, the weapons are definitely worth it because they speed up kills, but the shields aren't because at the cost of 200K/hr you should just be using overloads and brews, which should be enough. For me the main point of the chaotic shields is safe PvP. Otherwise a DFS/spec seems to do the job without such a big cost.

Using Magic at TD's
Does it work effectively? I'm thinking of the combination: Mage+Melee Hyb + Steel Titan. I think that would give you max DPS on TD's given that you have an arcane stream and x mage pots.

Yeah definitely. Steel titan is significantly better, but I just want to see if it's still useful to use Iron Titan. I'm also going to try out Geyser titan.

The New Combat Skills
Just tested Iron Titan at TD's. It definitely works, but I'm not sure that it provides that much of an advantage. We'll have to see.

Crafting 80-88
Isn't that incredibly slow as well?

Lunar's almost exclusively used for one spell (veng). Ancient is pretty powerful, and modern has its uses. I'd like to see more PvP support spells. AoE healing sounds nice. I kind of wanted to suggest a spec deflection (cast on a teammate that's about to get specced, take 50% of the spec's damage on you) Thats pretty much the biggest misconception ive heard in ages. Maybe the book is only used for vengeance by combat minded people, but it's in fact the most useful spellbook by far for skillers, especially for farmers. Actually with the introduction of teletabs (already 4 years ago! :o) and the lvl 96 book swap spell its pretty much the best book for anyone (90+ percent) in RS. /edit: Which doesn't mean im not eager to find out how theyre gonna make it even more useful though :D http://[Use Quick Find Code]/c=IQnRFzrnTrE/[Please Use QuickFind Code]?185,186,286,60936124 [/hide] I agree with you on the skilling part. Whenever I extensively farm or slay I'm always on Lunar. I was only talking about PvP. The PvP support spells (other than veng) in Lunar are rarely used. Heal other is too hard to use (because you have to aim it). Share Pot is also really good but no one seems to realize how good it is for duoing :blink:

The New Combat Skills
That's one of the reasons I made this post... i was curious if steel titan owners really liked it or not. I'm trying to decide if I want to get the 8K crims for titan. I think I might just do a combination of TD's and familiarisation :rolleyes: Nice Joke. The rest of that list is pretty bad too... Dungeoneering above Herb? :thumbdown: I would say tribriding is easier nowadays than before. It's much easier to switch attack prayers on Ancient prayerbook, since Leech Mage/Def/Range is useful for both magers and rangers, and soulsplit also partially negates the need to switch protection prayers.

I also switched the extreme (1) and (2) doses for x range, def, and str :thumbup:

Got 91 Herb today, and am starting to make overloads. Rearranged my bank: Estimated Cost of All Extreme Potions: 70M Total Estimated Cost for 91 Herb: 130M

Wait what? Steel titan at Bandos? How often does the spec hit on Graar? Also, I disagree on Soul Split. I use it at TD's to avoid prayer switching. It's also basically a replacement for unicorn while slaying. Although I think it's highly overrated for PvP. Stick to your protection prayers, unless you're barraging a pile. In a hybrid fight, I think it's perfectly acceptable to use protects. Most people who will disagree with that aren't skilled enough to switch prayers effectively.

The New Combat Skills
I personally think extremes are a little bit overrated. I've noticed a much bigger increase in damage after turmoil than after extremes.
