All things Arma

[IHasChicken]

I have been there/done that with most, if not all the other bosses in the game, but it hit me that I haven't tried Arma that much before.

 

So, I'm considering trio'ing Arma for a couple of weeks as a way to make some cash, but I have a bunch of questions that I need to get answered before I consider it.

 

My Stats:

 

99 Attack

99 Defence

99 Strength

99 HP

97 Mage

95 Range

99 Summoning

95 Prayer

92 Herblore

 

My Gear (NEED VERIIFICATION)

 

Helm: Arma Helm OR Verac's Helm (having trouble deciding which one would be better in a trio)

Body: ACP

Legs: ACS

Ammy: Ammy of Ranging

Boots: Infinity Boots (I heard these were good for mage defence, and better than snakeskin?)

Gloves: Barrows Gloves

Shield: BSS (I know a DFS/Spectral is better, so i'll be upgrading these when I get the money)

Cape: Accumulator

Ring: Archer

Weapon: Rune Crossbow (with Diamond Bolts (e), and Broads for KC.)

 

Now, for the questions.

 

1. Arma helm or Verac's helm for trioing? Is the added defence and prayer bonus of Verac's helm worth the loss of the range attack of an Arma Helm?

 

2. Curses or Prayers? I've heard it's useful in trio's for one person to be leeching Range/Mage/Defence while the other two use the 15/20% prayers to increase damage. So should I say that I will take curses, because I don't have Rigour/Chaotic Crossbow, or should I just go on normal prayers with my 15% Prayer and lose the ability to Soul Split.

 

3. Healing. I have access to Soul Split (but don't know whether to use it, as outlined above,) and I have also almost done Seers Elite and will have the best Enhanced Excalibur by the time I'm ready to Arma. So, would I need Soul Split if I was trioing with an EEE, or would it not be necessary?

 

4. Familiar. I'm at a crossroads here, would it be best to take a Yak, a Steel Titan (to deal with my minion while I fight Kree,) or just a Unicorn? I know that Yak is less useful here because you don't need to bank the bones (unlike at Bandos,) and could be considered as overkill, especially while trioing with other people who don't have a Yak. So, is it best to have the DPS of a Steel Titan, the healing of a Unicorn, or the invent space of a Yak in a trio?

 

5. Potions. I have 92 Herby and access to overloads, but a lot of people say that just taking Grenwall Spikes and making extreme ranging pots from the range pot drops in the room is the best way to go. So should I take an overloads/brew invent, or should I just take grenwall spikes, and high healing food like rocktail in my invent/BoB (if I take a BoB.) TL;DR, are overloads worth it here?

 

6. Invent. If anyone has a rough invent for someone with my stats/gear, it would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks for reading that essay, I just want to be SURE that I have everything right before I go :)

like you said, it depends on your team. 1 person with curses is generally best though yes.

 

3. Healing. I have access to Soul Split (but don't know whether to use it, as outlined above,) and I have also almost done Seers Elite and will have the best Enhanced Excalibur by the time I'm ready to Arma. So, would I need Soul Split if I was trioing with an EEE, or would it not be necessary?

probably not.

So, is it best to have the DPS of a Steel Titan, the healing of a Unicorn, or the invent space of a Yak in a trio?

trioing, steel titan isn't really necisary, I'd bring a yak and unicorns with 1 steel titan for anticrashing

 

5. Potions. I have 92 Herby and access to overloads, but a lot of people say that just taking Grenwall Spikes and making extreme ranging pots from the range pot drops in the room is the best way to go. So should I take an overloads/brew invent, or should I just take grenwall spikes, and high healing food like rocktail in my invent/BoB (if I take a BoB.) TL;DR, are overloads worth it here?

you'll be taking very little damage, so grenwall spikes and ranging pots

6. Invent. If anyone has a rough invent for someone with my stats/gear, it would be much appreciated.

I haven't been arma for ages so I'll leave this for someone else

just a few changes: bring a fury over amulet of ranging and soull wars cape over accumulator

Cheers, yeah, I will definitely swap out the capes (as since I don't have much prayer bonus with my current gear, the +12 from SW cape makes a lot more sense than the +0 from the accumulator) :P, and I actually made the foolish mistake of selling my fury to buy 99 Summoning, 99 Smithing, 92 Herblore and 95 Prayer in relatively quick succession (which basically destroyed all the money I made from 99 Slayer,) so would a glory be better than a ranging ammy until I got the money for a fury again?

And bring me bossing once in a while too Brandon. :thumbup:

I'd bring you bossing if you didn't keep failing and going on your pure all the time TIM!!!

 

Also SPAM SPAM SPAM on my THREAD, if you're not good enough to tell me how to do Arma GTFO before I have the mods come to slap you with the banhammer because you're nothing more than a newbie CREWBIE!!!

 

 

 

 

Lol'd.

[leonxb]

1: Arma helm is way better than verac helm in trios. (full void+acp+deflector is better than full arma though, if you have it use it)

2: Normal prayers, if someone in you rteam uses leech defence.

3: Eee and unicorn will keep you alive in trios. Bring a few emergency brews though.

4: Yak is indeed overkill, use a stallion.

5: You won't be brewing very often so bring 3 extreme ranges and grenwall spikes.

6: My invent on arma trios:

-5 brews

-8 super prayers

-2 super restores

-3 extreme ranges

-100 grenwall spikes

-1k diamond bolts, broad bolds equipped for kc

-house teletab

-3 stallion pouches

-1k healing aura scrolls

-Fury (unholy symbol equipped)

-Eee

-Mithril grapple

I find this to be a very good invent, i can last with this untill all my unicorns are dead.

Hope i helped.

 

Edit: I have always used an accumulator at arma since kree moves away if you stand under him, and if that happens all your bolts will be spread out across the room.

Cheers, I'll keep that in mind, and interesting thought about the void.

 

I can get it if I just get a few conquest points up, and will teams let you in if you use it?

 

I guess I'm almost maxed anyway, so I should get in if I'm wearing a chicken suit and using a swamp lizard to melee Kree lol

[Quyneax]

Void range increases your damage by approximately 20%. I should think that'd be allowed :P.

[IHasChicken]

Thanks for the help guys, I went in the void + acp set-up, and was hitting constant 400+'s with diamond (e)'s, maxing at about 510 damage (at 95 range)

 

Also got a 19.1m hilt split 10 or so kills in :)
