Johannas Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 [hide=old question]I've been getting bored of whipping the greater deamons in brimhaven, so i thought on this task i'd 50% mage them and 50% range them. Not sure whether this is a myth or not, but in this situation what would be more effective? Water wave or fire wave? Ta[/hide] I know ice/water monsters are vulnerable to fire spells Are fire monsters more resistant to fire spells? Likewise are water/ice monsters more resistant to water spells? etc... Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanNo1 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 aren't you confusing this game with pokemon? magic resistance = magic resistance, the element of the spell doesn't matter in that part. Since fire spells require a higher mage lvl and hit harder then water spells, go with fire spells. :P There are three sides to every story: There's one side, there's the other, and there's the truth.

Johannas Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 What made you think Greaters are Fire monsters? And don't double post, people know how to scroll down the page; just use the edit button. 1. Internet is a little messed up, clicking on some links just gives me a 404 page error - I would usually edit page - don't worry ;) 2. Maybe they're not fire monsters, but they seem more "firey" than most monsters. Even if they are not, i'd like an answer for furture reference. Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!

However if you read my second post you might see the logic behind my question Pokemon is for ages 6-106 (im to young DAMMIT) Greators dont have any weakness to water to answer your 1st question. Pureprayer, you're awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheefoo Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I've never played pokemon - and it's for 7 year olds... right? :o H-how could you?! Well, I seriously don't get where you thought greater demons were fire related... Why, because they're red? That's really flawed logic.

BabyPunchers Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 ^I would think it's because of word association. Demon=Hell Hell=Fire But I'm pretty sure they're not weak to water or strong against fire. Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide.

"Blood" has barely any relation to "Fire" at all. Not like "Demon" does. On a somewhat unrelated note, I think they are a bit resistant to wave attacks as they attack with Magic-based melee attacks. And magic attack=magic def. ;) Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide. Because of you all I will start rewriting it asap.[/color] Formerly RobinHoodie.

Cheefoo Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Fire monsters aren't invunerable to fire spells. They might have higher defence against it, but I'm sure they aren't invunerable.

pureprayer Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 *gasp* I think he's got it! err... me? To the op: If ice/water monsters are vulnerable to fire spells (Ice>Fire btw) why would fire monsters be resistant to fire spells? Pureprayer, you're awesome.

Okay i phrased the question wrong. Replace "invulnerable" with more resistant Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 The OP found one case of specific resistance. I can't really answer teh question, but I can cite a few more examples of magic immunity/resistance to certain magic attacks. The 4 wizards around necromangus are not only immune to their chosen element, they absorb it and heal from it. The boss of contact is virtualy immune to air, water and fire spells. The boss is exceptionaly weak (easy to hit) with earth, iban blast, and slayer dart (not 100% sure on teh last one, but I killed the boss with 12 iban blasts). The bosses in DT are all vulnerable to one type of magic. The Daganoth Queen (I think) is vulnerable to only one attack style (or one magic element) at any given time, as is her RFD counter part. It is possible that a fire creature you be immune to say water, but I don't know. From what I listed, you would think that most things that have a magic weakness also have magic resistance to something else. I don' know if that is the case for you or not. I do know that greater demons (or demons in general) are all overly vulnerable to magic, so use fire wave not water wave. Ok, I did sort of answer.

Inuashakent Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 This question has too much logic involed. If you try to use logic on Runescape and Jagex, you'll fail. Miserably. So don't even try... I'm pretty sure MOST monsters don't have immunities or vulnerabilities.
