Slaykan Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hi I just got my first ice stryke task and I was wondering, I've heard that mage is powerful against them, but is it necessary to kill them efficiently because I don't want to go buy mage gear if I don't have to.Thanks Good Timber does not grow with ease, the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees. There is dignity in suffering, nobility in pain, but failure is a salted wound, that burns over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Eggs Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Fire wave absolutely destroys them. Melee is slower, though it is a possibility if you aren't an efficiency nut. 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving. Jagex'd out of my untrimmed hp cape on 6/14/2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyPunchers Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Completely possible to melee, i just did a task of them myself. Put up a cannon to help and you tear right through them. Just pray Melee with a Unicorn/Bunyip for their mage attacks and you're good. :) Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide. Because of you all I will start rewriting it asap.[/color] Formerly RobinHoodie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Fire wave absolutely destroys them. Melee is slower, though it is a possibility if you aren't an efficiency nut.I'm pretty sure you mean surge. I believe xpx had 43k/hr for melee and 48k/hr for surge; I can hardly imagine a 30% decrease in dps wouldn't lead to at least 25% kph decrease.
