3rd Age/Spirit shields/Phats Discussion

Well bandos usually always hits 200+ with his range attack. The problem is I wouldn't be caught dead with a shield at bandos. That's just screaming crashbait, even with longsword. Defender all the way.

Talking solo bandos, not teams. And I'll try out whip + Chaotic just to see how well it'll work.

I got a feeling Ely is going to crash pretty soon. Tested out a CLS + Chaotic Kite at Bandos solo. Definitely outperforms Ely with whip. Got 160 kc easily with claws + CLS + C Kite.

 

P.S. Not sure how eagle eye will fare against ely at arma though. So maybe not now that I thought twice about it. We'll see.

 

160 kc = how many bandos boss kills?

[ghjkl]

40, and every bandos world is full, without defender you cannot compete.

defender isn't that helpful

I'm in an empty bandos world right now lol. Anyways we should get back on topic. Even if the Chaotic Kite can not outperform the Ely, it'll still effect the price simply because its so much easier to obtain. If you have the means to obtain an ely or a divine, 80 dung is a cake walk for you. That'll be interesting to see how it affect ely's prices.

I disagree. I can afford an elysian or a divine, and getting 80 dungeoneering is nonstop facedesking for me :-|

[yuriqiu]

Well I just did it with whip, kc dropped all the way to 92 :( Although that 160 kc was pretty lucky considering every other minion dropped taters for me lol. I'd say definately upgraded from dfs, around same as ely, doesn't have much on divine though.

[Bladewing]

^ Just goes to show you should DEFINITELY spend your first 200k tokens on a chaotic weapon.

[Assume Nothing]

Yup. Now I'm stuck - What order should I get Chaotic Rapier, Maul and Longsword? Planning to PvP first, then bosshunting.

 

Should make a new thread for this, maybe >_>

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.

Actually, on the contrary, I used my chaotic kite and longsword at castle wars for 3 rounds, (Around 1 hour of full combat) and they are still at 99% I'm almost 100% certain they last longer than the advertised 10 hours.

I heard that the rate at which it degrades depends on what are you fighting.

I've had an offer for a few on my noob, still haven't bought any :thumbdown:

Just panic :thumbup:

[Mazhar]

I wouldn't be too sure about that or elys have dropped a lottt

I tried sticking an offer for one about 3 hours after they updated 3ish days ago but no luck yet gewise...you might want to try that if you don't mind 500mish being tied up for the next what...60ish days at most?

Tried that, been updating my offer whenever I see the price has changed and I've never had any luck with it :(

[Gilformen]

im thinking this is kind of overkill, but i didnt like crown much anyways.

 

[Mazhar]

I heard CS'd sigils only go to the person who puts in the offer either after or before (idk) it's CS'd

Saw someone post a bought divine pic saying he put an offer in 1 hour update for max and got it 3 hours later

[PereGrin]

i thought that CSd items were converted into cash on the spot, and were never sold in ge. This would cause pretty huge inflation, so it seems on par with todays economy.
