"Summ" Summoning Questions ;)

[Our_Moon]

Just a quick question or two about Summoning:

 

 

 

Assume i summon a familiar, for example, a Karmathulu Overlord. It's supposed to be a great "combat familiar," or so i've heard.

 

 

 

Does it attack on its own accord, or do i have to provoke it to make it attack at all (by using scrolls, or something? Or are scrolls just for SPECIAL, not regular, attacks?)

 

 

 

Thanks. Oh, which are the best "combat familiars?" I've got to do *something* while training Slayer ;).

It'll attack on it's own. The scrolls are just a special attack they can do.

It'll only attack when you are being attacked. The familiar is never attack, only during pvp, where it'll attack a couple times and stop.

 

 

 

The karamthuhlu overlord is the best until... well, 73/79 I would believe. Or 68 for a bunyip, thats far better.

Actually, my Terrorbird is often attacked by the green drags I'm attacking. I'll attack the green drag, it'll start fighting me, my bird will start attacking it, and often the green drag turns and attacks my bird.

I guess, but by the time the monster changes a target you should be done killing it. Unless your attacking more than one at once... We're talking about slayer, remember?

[Our_Moon]

So Overlords until what familiar?

 

 

 

Then those until which, etc etc etc?

Ive been experimenting with random familars in the chaos tunnels on black demon tasks. very often they start hitting the familars, it saves me on prayer lol, but i pray flash anyways. Usually finish a task on a few doses of a ppot.

 

 

 

I got the most damage out of mithril minotaur then the overlord, but the overlord gives range exp, and gets stuck less which is nice.

 

 

 

Also remember they only attack in multi-combat zones, so you will almost always wanting to use a bunyip

Range xp is worth FAR less than combat xp. Mithril minotaurs are extremely weaker than Karamthuhlu damage wise.

interesting i must of had an off task when i tried the overlord. It hit at most once per kill on each demon.

 

 

 

The mithril minotaurs often hit 2-4 times+ up to 12 damage as well. I think highest i saw overlord do was 10

 

 

 

But id agree to use that list it as it seems well tested, i haven't really tested thoroughly just some observations.

 

 

 

I never used scrolls at all
