Th e Doctor Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The most common suggestion will be to melee the whole thing as it is substancially faster than ranging.

Quyneax Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Are you joking or am I warning some people for spam... hmmm. Ranging the caves has one advantage over meleeing and it is that you don't have to kite the 360s. Meleeing has several advantages over ranging. For one, you can have more ranged and melee defence (in Bandos or barrows) which helps with the 90's and 45's. Secondly, your dps is about a third higher than that of ranged (if not more). Magic costs more and hits less than ranged while having less ranged defence. Don't bother.

Quyneax Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ideally, torva + divine since Jad and everything else doesn't hit very well on that if you use protect from magic. Realistically, bandos + defender. You can use your regular slayer gear but two things: you want some extra prayer bonus and defence bonus. So replace prossy top/torso with bcp, replace fire cape/ardy 3 with soul wars cape. Of course at your stats you can use a dds all the way and still make it. Inventory is an extreme (pure) set & one overload or three overloads. Then EEE, claws, 4 rocktails/baron shark/juju gumbo/summer pie (2 brews if you use overloads), with +19 prayer bonus you need ~1850 points of prayer restore (if you use protect pray + turmoil at all times) which is about 60 doses of ppot or 15 pots (+ a spare just in case I guess). You can also use 12 super prayers of course. If you use a divine, you may need some more prayer, I don't know as I never really used one. Above inventory is 25 spaces max, 17 if you use the minimum. You can fill up leftover space with more food, prayer or overload depending on how confident you are about finishing in an hour. You can also bring a ranged top, legs and weapon and range Jad. I recommend a super prayer setup in that case, so you can bring 2-3 handcannons. They have a really nice range and damage. Use EEE if you need healing and claws for speeding up Jad, you can of course leave either out but EEE is 24 sharks/7 brews over the course of an hour and works as an overload timer, so that's nice.

Quyneax Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hmmm not for Jad if you want him easy, but I agree you would bring one for the caves.

Bladewing Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 use divine for when jad appears off screen and you can't see his attack once you're next to him put your defender back on since you won't be taking damage anymore.
