I need help on pray switching fast and efficiently at jad, just got owned by him today because pray switched too slowly -.-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

any help of sorts?

When jad lift his legs really high it's mage attack, and when he lifts his legs kinda low its mage.

 

 

 

When his legs come down real fast you know its range and when his legs stays in the air its mage.'

 

 

 

Hope this helps :P

thats not the problem, my prayer doesnt take effect and doesnt protect me, 63+20 damage ftl

Yeah, you have to be really really fast about it. I died the first time I did fight caves when I made it to Jad (for now the only time) but I know a good little tip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Face Jad head on and have your camera pointing squarely towards him - Have it lowered to the ground as much as possible. Now watch his legs. He raises them a little higher for the ranged attack. Have your mouse hovering over the next prayer (we'll say you're on protect from mage) and you're hovering over protect from range. If his legs dissapear from your screen, immediately click on the range prayer. (Then attack him again) and hover over mage prayer. If he goes up and his legs are in sight a millisecond after raising them, he will be doing his mage attack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, his range attack makes no sound, and his mage attack sounds like an explosion. (There's a good guide in the Archive of Wisdom that says the mage attack sounds like the retribution prayer detonating)

Try playing in Low detail with one 1Mbps or faster internet connection.

 

 

 

Use the sound at maximum while killing Jad.

Not sure if it'll help, but a way I found to try and time the speed of prayer swapping was inside the Warriors guild. The mini-game where you swap attack styles in relation to the attacks, and block them with a shield, is generally the same idea in the fight caves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They are more or less the same speed, so it makes for good practice.
