Am I missing something or does the staff really give 50% protection for everything? including corp etc

or just slayer monsters?

Seems too good to be true so idk if I read it right :s

It sounds to me is everything.

Also, interesting fact: Staff of Light may be a better melee weapon than magic weapon.

 

+55 Stab / +72 Strength Unknown Speed

 

In comparison:

 

+85 Stab / +75 Strength 6 Speed

 

Rune Defender is +20 Stab / +5 Strength

 

Staff/Defender is therefore

 

+75 Stab / +77 Strength

 

Now, on to speed. We won't know for sure until someone gets one and tests it publicly, but:

 

Ahrim's Staff, Zuriel's Staff - Speed 4

Staff, Battlestaff, Mystic Staff - Speed 5

Saradomin Staff, Guthix Staff, Zamorak Staff, Slayer Staff, Ancient Staff - Speed 6

 

Seeing as this staff is MOST analogous to Slayer Staff, I wouldn't doubt it being Speed 6. If it is, it matches Zamorakian Spear, Saradomin Sword, Abyssal Whip, normal daggers / scimitars, and shortbows on accurate/long-range.

 

If it was speed 6, it and defender would be -10 Stab and +2 Strength in comparison to Zamorakian Spear. Not a big deal. But consider this:

 

Instead of using a Defender, you could use a Divine / Elysian Spirit Shield. Low stab, but nearly as much strength with greatly improved defense.

Instead of using a Defender, you could use a Dragonfire Shield. Even higher strength, at the cost of stab attack bonus. Not to mention, protection against Dragonfire if you don't happen to have Super Antifires. Zamorakian Spear is already the weapon of choice among Slayers for Steel Dragons / Iron Dragons, and now we have a possibly viable, one-hand alternative.

Seems too good to be true so idk if I read it right :s

Special attack gives 50% protection against melee attacks for one minute.

I was already getting out my credit card to re-subscribe to rs when I saw the fire cape requirement. I have tried the caves too many times without any success. Nevertheless, great update and some high end content for the ones who are mindlessly bored. <_<

how much spec does it use, anyone know?

I'll trade a focus for hex, if anyone gets.

A minute? Really?

 

Isn't special restore 10% per 30 seconds? With special restore pot, another 25% per 30 seconds? You can regenerate a full special bar in 90 seconds if those numbers are accurate, so you can halve all melee damage 2/3 of the time.

 

Against players, you can use this + Deflect Melee + Divine. AGS maxes under 20 after that, with special and full strength gear. XD

100% I believe, thats what the special description sounds like anyway.

System Update...

 

We've fixed a problem with the npcs and players not being visible in some areas of the game. This was obviously a bit bizarre and should be fixed with this update.

 

Thanks for your patience,

 

Mod Nexus.

Karil + staff + divine + mage pray (40+30= 70% protection) + its spec (50% melee protection) = 19 max hit from mage (karils so will splash a lot) and 26 max hit from melee on solo corp..................

The special goes away if you switch to another weapon though.

I've just gone through 15 tasks without a wyrm assignment. DId a skeletal wyverns task, skipped like 4 after that, did a waterfiend task, skipped like 8 tasks after that, now I'm out of points and stuck on an iron dragon task.

 

FML. :x :x :x

 

She must have assigned like 5 spiritual mages assignments in that time. I'm SO sick of all the spiritual mages she assigns.

Well more reason for me to get off my butt and get a fire cape + 2 more slayer levels. Really hope that they don't cave in to the complainers about it too.

Does anyone know how the french twitter hint was related to the updates.

 

Neither of them seem to relate to worshiping or revering.

Am i the only one a little creeped that those giant things are under our feet when playing?

 

 

I'm glad there is a fire cape requirement, if you can spend hundreds of hours getting 90+ slayer, surely you can spend two more getting the cape.

You won't be switching

85 stab 75 str for zs

55 stab 72 str for the staff

It's not that bad, especially if you swh, leave room (lowered def stays) spec recover to 100% where youll probably be hitting 90% of the time, even with an iron dagger

That was my thought indeed. Now we just need some TNT.

 

The thought of these things being underground all the time really does get me.

Wait, wait, wait...

 

The hexcrest and focus sight don't actually have damage/accuracy modifiers like the black mask? They're there for the purpose of making a full slayer helm?

 

That's a little bit disappointing.

To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

Wait, wait, wait...

They do, you also have the option to stick them in the helm. They can operate without the helm.
