Neltak Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Simply put, what is optimal gear for arma solo, namely the shield slot and helm. Is a melee help preferable over an arma helm?For shields, is Spectral >> Dragonfire > Blessed Spirit Shield? As in would Spectral increase solo kills/trip by 2-3 over dragonfire, and that by 1-2 over BSS? Also prayer: Is Rigour > leech def & range? NEW QUESTION: Is 14-16 kills/trip (using rigour, yak to uni, no divine or pernix) on par with others around my stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green9090 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 It depends on what you're doing. You mentioned solo, so I'll assume that: you want max magic defense, which means full arma/pernix and spectral. The only exception to that would be divine > spectral. For prayer, it's a tough choice. The question isn't whether rigour is better-- it absolutely is-- but whether it's better enough to make up for not being able to soul split to full hp on the minions each kill. I'm not really sure, but I can tell you it's close. Soul split gets you longer trips, and rigour gets you faster kills.

Veiva Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 All I can help you with is from personal experience. Spectral nets 1-2 more kills solo at my levels (no overloads/extremes, 99 range, 92 defense) over a DFS. I do not use a blessed spirit shield so I cannot help you with that. I get 4-6 kills a trip. I do not know about rigour considering I'm only 60ish dungeoneering, but from what I've read it's an improvement, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neltak Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Yeah its questions regarding soloing, edited that in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 A common setup is armadyl + verac's helmet + spectral. I would personally use rigour to speed up kills and bank a little more often, as I can't really stand long boss trips.

Crossed_Body Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have a question about this too. How many kills can somebody with the best gear (apart from the divine/ely shields), ovls and rigour get? What's the best familiar? Also, Spectral or Eagle Eye shield?

Quyneax Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 If you are using full pernix (torva/verac's helmet I imagine) + eeks/spectral (not much difference), you can probably stay on very few brews, maybe just eee specs + unicorn, not sure. I don't know how many kills that is either. If you are using a steel titan, you can have it kill minions for brew/restore drops. If you use a yak you can stay longer, but I don't think that really matters unless you need more than a unicorn (you do need more when using armadyl instead of pernix, of course). You could try void deflector w/ pernix top, which would be very effective kph wise but not to effective kills/trip wise.

Again, I don't recommend the melee helm. Better to boost ranged bonus and mage defense, the melee minion isn't very strong.

Neltak Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks Green and Quyneax. I tried out full arma, spectral, rune cbow, rigour and yak to unicorn (can't afford pernix or divine, don't have ccbow) and am liking the results. Can last 2.5-3 overloads and have been getting 15-17 kills/trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
