Dks

[Deletion]

Hi :)

 

I do a decent amount of DKs with a couple of RL friends of mine, the set-up we use is 2 hybrids (killing Supreme and Prime) and a mage killing Rex. However, one of these friends recently quit and the other was hacked. I want to help the hacked one rebuild his bank and we immediately thought of DKs, but due to bad experiences in the past with randoms we are not so keen to try our usually set-up with 2 hybs and a mage.

 

So this got me thinking, is it viable for me to solo hybrid with my friend maging? I have Ok stats (see below) as well as good gear and for maging you don't really need much gear at all.

 

My stats are as follows:

99 Range, Attack, Strength, Constitution, Mage.

74 Defence.

95 Prayer

88 Summoning

89 Herblore

 

And the gear I was thinking of using is:

Verac Helm, Karil Top, Bandos Tassets, Fury, Serker ring, D boots, SW cape, Barrows gloves, Chaotic Rapier and Chaotic Crossbow (with Diamond bolts), and zammy book.

 

I will be using extreme attacks and strengths, with normal range pots and then usual invent of brew/restores/prayers + using a Uni for healing and either claws or eee for a spec weapon.

 

So now onto the questions:

 

1) Is it possible to solo hybrid with my stats/gear/invent?

 

2) Is there any changes I should make to my gear (maybe use ranger boots and archer ring as I have extreme melees but not super range)?

 

3) Should I use prayers or curses? I currently have more than enough tokens saved up to buy rigour and I was thinking that in this situation Piety + Rigour would be more useful than Turmoil + SS, however I am not entirely sure.

 

4) If this is not viable is there any other duo method for DKs that would work well? (keep in mind my friend only has the bank for basic gear: ie just bought Guthan and other basic gear and enough pots for 3 trips and his cash stack is now 0 - also his stats are not quite as good as mine)

 

5) Also, is it possible to get into the lair with only 2 people since the update? (we usually used 3) or will we have to find another group/someone going to burst lobs

 

I know the trips will be relatively short due to lack of invent space for ppots, but I don't really survive at DKs well without Uni so that rules using a Tort out.

 

Thank you all very much for your help

1) work on getting overloads, its make a huge difference being potted and unpotted. also you will get super prayers and with a unicorn you should last a while.

 

2) Take a shield, blessed spirit shield maybe?

 

3) i dont have turmoil so i wouldnt know about how effective that is, but killing prime takes the longest and i know from experience rigour + ccb destroys

 

4) you could always just duo mage without a hybrid.

 

5) you can get into the lair with 2 people, one person just runs back.

If you hybrid with a cannon you'll barely need to range, allowing you to use turmoil + ss flashing on Supreme in full Bandos + shield, compensating for your low defence.

I would suggest a black d'hide top (or a variant for hawtness), for increased ranged and melee defences, seeing as you shouldn't be trying to tank mage.

I will take all of the above into account :) Thanks you very much.

 

I still can't find a guide stating whether it is still possible to get into the lair with two people though. If it is can someone tell me the method please.

 

Thanks again.

Open the north door, both people run south and open the south door, one person goes through the other runs north. Whichever person has a ranged attack shoots the door opposite, where the other person is waiting.
