Tormented Demons setup

[SirIzenhime]

Ok, so after looking at a few td guides, I've come up with this setup.

Now, considering my lack of experience with tds, chances are there's a lot of problems, so please bear with me

 

 

This would be with having a unicorn already summoned

 

This is what I've sorta come up with for now. Claws for spec, whip for melee, karils for fast ranging.

Would it be better for me to take a Pak Yak with food, and then summon a unicorn? Or just stick with uni from the start? If I do start with a yak, should I take Storage scrolls? which drops should I bank?

Would i be turmoiling the whole time? Switching prayers otherwise accordingly. When the demon melees, should I switch to Soul Split?

Would I need more or less of any potions?

 

Thanks in advanced

im no expert but i wouldn't take karils cross bow and bolt racks,

i usually take a rune crossbow with broad bolts; but you could always use diamond bolts(e) aswell

Your probably gunna want black dhide and a defender, a sw cape and a rune crossbow with rune bolts. Bring more prayer restore and less super sets/unicorns. Bring summoning potions insted of brews, so you don't have to repot. I dunno about curses I've never used them there.

[SirIzenhime]

the super restores will restore my summoning. And Wouldn't Karils do faster damage?

A d hide gives less range and mage def, which is the only real threat from the demons.

 

So I should only take 1 ext atk and str, and 2 range pots then? The brews would be more of a just in case I mess up (which is very likely with such a low amount of experience I have there.

 

Would it be worth switching the def of a DFS for the accuracy of a defender here then?

SW cape makes sense as well.

The summoning potions are for healing, they restore your unis spec bar. And you don't want fast damage necisaraly you want a high hiting weapon so you spend less time switching. Bring black dhide because until you get the hang of the lures you'll be dieing quite a bit (speaking of which make sure you have atleast 3 lanterns) so you don't have to repair the karils after every death. DFS might be better while learning prayer switches, but after you get good at it defender is definetly better.

[SirIzenhime]

I've got 10 lanterns and the 6 minute grave, so dieing wouldn't be too bad. I'm not too worried about repair costs though, I've got plenty of cash for that (but it doesn't make sense to suggest that)

So should I just replace the Brews with Summoning pots, since they'd basically have the same outcome?

 

random addition question, should I soul Split when the demon melees?

[Sir_Squab]

Don't take fire cape - SW cape is much better imo. I'd say GS > whip. Not sure with your stats.

 

Also, seeing as you usually prayer, defence doesn't count for much. Black dhide is cheaper to use since you don't have to repair it and isn't really less effective. You might want to consider a defender/whip combo instead of the shield. Or just not bother with the shield, since claws/x bow can't use one. Plus, I reccomend GS over whip, although at higher melee stats whip may prove more useful.

 

I'd just use a unicorn from the start. Also, is it a good idea for you to use such expensive gear with your lack of experience?

It's less the cost and more the time spent going to repairnit, whereas with black dhide you don't even have to bank after dieing. And with 90+ melees and extremes Im pretty sure whip>gs, although I've never tried a gs sense ive never owned one.

[bi11ab1itz]

a bgs is actually great there due to its spec which lowers the td's defence :)

[Slaykan]

bgs is ok there but sgs completly dominates bgs mainly because its ability to hit hard on specs and completly heal you and a good bit or prayer to allowing you to stay much longer than you could with bgs.

[SirIzenhime]

^ the only refute that I have for that (as well as what many other will say), is the D claw spec allows faster kills, resulting more kills per trip

[Obtaurian]

For your first few trips, use welfare gear.

Your like 2 minutes from a bank it doesn't make a difference how long you stay. Claws>dhal>sgs>bgs

[Tempest_Mike]

Rune bolts are surprisingly effective and quite cheap compared to diamond (e).

Also void is ftw. ;)

I wouldn't bother with void until you get good at prayer/weapon switching. Afterwards though it's definetly the best.

Although it doesn't take much to get used to, but yes probably not best for using straight away.

Well sadly there are some ppl like me that are just to lazy to go back and bank so being able to stay longer helps, and i have used claws drops :thumbsup: to see how effective claws are and tbh they didnt do much for me, but i guess you can use whatever spec weapon you like best for me its just happens to be sgs and gl with claws. :thumbup:
