Off task Jad setup

[Swiller2]

So I really need to finally kill Jad.

 

 

I have not tried in a while, and have leveled a lot since last attempt. I am sort of on a budget, is this still considered a standard set up for off task?

 

 

Was wondering if I should switch out Avas device with soul wars cape?

 

Also if I were to borrow something would an Arma plate or rangers be the better option?

[Vezon Dash]

Perfect.

 

I used a granite shield though, but I doubt it really makes any kind of a difference.

try using storm of armadyl on jad

In range gear?

no in mage gear

I'd just melee the caves if I were you, faster, less supplies used and it's easier in my opinion.

Melee the caves with barrow melee plate and legs. Kite the 360s while deflecting mage with a rapier, leave the weak creatures for after the 360 is down so you can soulsplit heal any damage you take. Switch to ganodermic body and legs and storm of arma jad. You may not need the melee armour, but it certainly makes tanking the 90's a lot easier. And hey, you don't need those 2 extra spaces.

 

With a few brews, you generally don't even need to switch prayers as the only thing that can damage you is his mage attack, which will only be 50% of his attacks, will splash quite often and only maxes about 560 in your armour. Of course you should try to switch if you can though to guarantee your safety, just don't get hit by a range attack.

Just use SOA, it's faster than melee but as effortless as ranging...

 

virt helm > 3a > ahrim's

asn > fury

virtus top > ganoderpic > ahrim's

virtus bottom > gano > ahrim's

abs > cs (???)

arcane > fsks > mages' book

ragefire boots > infinity boots

seers i > seers ring

god cape > asjdaksdasjkdaskdaslda93u1934jwi3

spellcaster gloves > barrows

 

am i missing anything? Yeah just bring ppots, like 3 ovls just to be safe, and EE I guess.

Any idea on the number of runes I would need?

Jad without prayer switching.

 

I managed to kill him at first try, just pray against ranged and spam sara brews when hp drop below 500.

No need to buy eagle eye or farseer, equip anything with high magic defence spectral or sacred clay shield.

53% magic absorption will do the job.

SoA'ing the full caves is extremely expensive and pointless. You'll save like 5 minutes at the very most over meleeing for an expense of 1m+

 

1m may not sound like much, but it's still a big waste as theres no reason not to melee.

 

And damn, after seeing those 600s with poly staff i may consider doing jad with poly... (Because i don't have SoA unlocked)

I tried that, but Jad hit a hell of a lot of damage on me.

Edit: I had 88def, 99 mage

(jad at 10:10-end, the maging part ends at 12:00)

SoA was also less effective than rapier in hitting Jad after the healers came - Jad healed to full HP when I used SoA but I managed to kill him without attacking the healers with melee.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, at the OP, I'd recommend that you melee the whole caves including Jad. It should be a lot faster than range considering your stats.

So i maged jad last night with gano. It's not as easy as i thought, you can't straight up pray range and tank the mage. Well you can, but you'll struggle to outhit the healers if you're brewing every couple seconds.

 

It is a hell of a lot easier than ranging though. If you miss a prayer switch it's a lot less deadly, and with the 'pray range until you see a mage attack' method i use, you're less likely to take a range hit even if you fail. With SoA you probably can tank the mage, as jad will be dead much faster.

 

@leaf i'd guess you just got unlucky hits with SoA on jad, because poly staff was very accurate for me... Not to mention you were in melee gear besides the gano.
