Zaaps1 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Having recently got 92 prayer, I want to stay on curses. However, I don't really want to get Turmoil for ~45m since I'm maxed melee and probably won't see myself using it very much at all outside occasionally boss hunting, Bork, or CTS Waterfiends when I get the 3x charm booster. So my question is, for the following activities, what are the best substitute curses in place of Turmoil? -CTS Waterfiends-Generic Slayer, assuming I range all tasks-Any special mentions for slayer, assuming I range all tasks-Melee boss monsters other than TDS-Random fights (quest bosses, Bork, etc.), assuming I melee ~It's Super Effective!

ghjkl Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Leech curses, but they suck at only 10% boost at max, normally 6-8% boost, so you might aswell get turmoil. Curses aren't worth it with only soul split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 True, but I'm not really convinced it's worth 45m (wrong in the thread). Perhaps when the price falls again. And I mean more like, which leech curses? ~It's Super Effective!

ghjkl Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Leech defense is decent for boss hunting I guess.Just for general slaying leech strength and leech range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedman Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I would stay on normal prayers, especially since you are ranging and missing out on eagle eye now. I got 95 prayer, but when I TD I use normal prayers so I can flash piety and eagle eye. Chaos tunnel waterfiends were perfectly possible before soul split too, and should actually be faster this way (you only get 15% att and 23% str for turmoil at waterfiends) A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h!

Zaaps1 Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 My theory was, though, assuming attack, defense, and ranged levels have no difference in weighting, that the 25% drain of Leech Defense would be what really makes the difference between Eagle Eye/Superhuman Strength and Curses. Because, if you think about it, there are two ways to be more accurate. Increase your own attack/ranged, or decrease your opponent's defense. ~It's Super Effective!

Increase your own attack/ranged, or decrease your opponent's defense.Hmm, could be somewhat true yeah, but still, most of the times you won't be able to drain a lot of stats before you have to move to an other spawn. Luckily your own stats stay boosted if you don't wait to long with clicking another npc (e.g. I stay at 9-10% str with leech str). A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h!

warrior5024 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 When i ranged Mithrils, I tried both eagle eye and Leech Range conjoined with Leech defence. The result was very similar kills per hour with both methods, so no great difference except the faster consumption of prayer potions. So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy_Accursed Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 If ur not using turmoil. Soul split is always handy. As for sap/leeches Leech def is always win (weakens them strengthens you, assuming they r hitting u. Else stick with sap)Then leech for the attack type you're using (so str for melee unless ur att lvl is stupidly low)And sap the attack type they use (unless of course they attack same as u then u got leech neway) So, for example, meleeing steels:Leech Def, Leech Str Ranging steels:Sap def, leech range Waterfiends (if u arent gonna prayer agaisnt rnage with deflect/protect)leech def, leech str, sap range Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior5024 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 The leeches were draining fast, since i had two of them activated. So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
