September 24, 201114 yr Would Storm of Armadyl be better than Blood barrage at 99mage/def/hp? How about at 106mage/125def/99hp?
September 24, 201114 yr I am probably extremely wrong, so don't take my word for it - but from what I remembered reading, the base max hit of Armadyl storm without any bonuses was around 280 I believe? Whereas Blood Barrage is 290, with the ability to heal. I'm not sure if the extra accuracy would be better than 10 more base damage and the ability to heal. But again, I'm probably very wrong.

September 24, 201114 yr storm is better Check it out, huge amount of effort has gone into this massive mod![hide=old sig][/hide]
September 24, 201114 yr storm is better This. I was at the arena last night watching some people dueling. Every fight that I saw where it was ancients vs storm, storm won. In a few of the fights that I saw, the guy using storm won with over half health left. I only stuck around to see maybe 15-20 fights, but every single one of them was won by the person using storm. 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.
September 25, 201114 yr Storm of Armadyl will hit 145-305 at 106 magic, 110-270 without. That's equivalent (dps wise, not KO-wise) to max hits of 450 and 380, 160 and 90 higher than blood barrage. It also uses only one space on runes. Storm of Armadyl is, however, more expensive, doesn't hit multiple targets, doesn't allow you to freeze with ice barrage (if you were using entangle you might as well go ice barrage straight away) and it's somewhat more annoying to hybrid with due to the left-click autocast.

September 25, 201114 yr Remember, this is mage BOXING so no staff, bonuses ect. but storm still wins by a small margin. Storm: 110-270 @ 99 mage = average of 190 damage per cast Blood Barrage 290 at 99 MAge = average of 145 * (1.25) = 181 damage per cast (if both parties have 99 hp then the 25% heal can count as damage for our purposes) 1,000 F2P Total Level Reached 10/8/10 !

September 26, 201114 yr Well I just went mage boxing with Storm vs Ancients. Won 3m, won 3m, lost 5m, lost 10m, lost 20m, lost 33m, lost 18m. Then again I've always had terrible luck, but I was splashing alot. Make of that what you will.
