Tormented Demons

[wioneo]

 

Currently I use the above setp. I keep turmoil on constantly, kill the north and northwest demons, attack with the darklight once mid kill to reset the shield timer, pick up bolts with drops, and leave after 55 minutes(when the second to last overload dose wears off). Currently I average 32 kills per 55 minutes.

 

Now in the time that I've been gone, the polypore staff and a few other goodies were added. So is using magic as a second style with the staff over ranged with broad bolts beneficial? I've been told that the staff maxes around 500 and is slightly faster than my ranged setup which maxes around 400. I do have a void mage helm, but I assume that it would be useless. I also have an arcane stream necklace.

 

Does anyone have anything to add about their mage/melee setup? I'm assuming that it would need to be drastically different from the void melee/range, and I am not yet familiar with a lot of the more recent updates. I am currently happy with my kill rate even though I am sure that it is far from good, but I would like to learn mroe about other options.

I took some screenshots earlier of mage/ melee setups, if you can wait till I'm out of school, I'll edit them in here. :)

Sorry for thread-hijacking, but where are the best spots for easy luring but still always having a demon available for killing? Thanks :thumbup:

First of all, no offence but that setup is pretty bad for range/melee as well. Try using a stat-boosting ring, hand cannon and chaotic rapier + defender.

 

For melee/mage:

 

Have titan summoned. 60 kph and up.

@Q: I don't think you need that many prayer potions. Could substitute two of them for brews and bring claws instead of EEE.

 

@wioneo: Bring a better ring.. zerker or archer's I guess. BGS sucks there. Do you have chaotics?

This is somewhat of a cheaper version of what Q posted:

NOTE: I forgot the dragon claws in that picture... sorry. :smile:

(50kph)

I used this for quite a while as well: (40kph)

[hide][/hide]

 

That was before I had imbueds .. also steadfast are better and probably a defender for darklight.

 

@Anonymous: North spot seems to work fine for me. You can lure 3, which is more than enough.

Dragon claws are annoying as hell to use, your shield goes all over your inventory. Brews are also extremely damaging to your magic dps as well as costly. That's why I prefer to not use them, though claws can probably be good.

 

If you get 50 kph in that gear, you should definitely move to the south-east spot :P.

Dragon claws don't increase your KPH by a lot. I use the same setup as Q does and I get 63 - 66 KPH using the south-east spot, with an EEE. A steel titan is required to use the south-east spot though. You're too slow otherwise.

[spoiler=Second Test]

 

 

I read your suggestions and tried a trip with the above setup while waiting for the mobilising armies limit to end.

 

With the exact same strategy except without protect praying after the first change to melee, I got 32 kills in the same time (34.9 kph) on my test trip with fumbling with the triple switch and several missed attack rounds, so that is definately better. I plan on subbing in a mage's book, a diamond(i), and some prayer renewals for the next test. Would infinity boots be better than dragon with this setup?

 

EDIT: With that moronic hourly limit I won't have the ring any time soon, would seers+d boots, seers+infinity, or zerker+infinity be best in this case? 8 total strength with all the multipliers seems like a lot to drop off, but I have not done enough trips to see the effect of 9 magic bonus. For the next test after this I will be using an arcane and titan.

 

 

EDIT:: With the above setup I managed 25 kills in 40 minutes(37.5 kph) and then ran out of prayer potions, with significantly less mistakes this round the shields were recovering on most kills so I must have been doing damage less rapidly but the lack of misclicks somehow lead to an overall faster rate. I assume this slowdown was caused by the decrease of 4 in strength bonus even though there was an increase of 6 in accuracy.

The main reason people should use a neitiznot helm at tormented demons is because you can store Steel of Legend scrolls in it. You use a unicorn so I think it's probably better if you swap the helm for a ganodermic visor. Replace the dragon boots for infinity boots / ragefire boots. Replace the SW cape for an Ardougne cloak 3/4. Replace the explorer ring with a berserker ring. If you can't afford that, replace it with a seers' ring. Magic attack is important at tormented demons.

[Quyneax]

Zerker beats seers always (8 str > 8 att) but infinity probably beats dragon (8 att > 4 str).

 

I'd say Virtus mask would beat Neit without titan but gano visor is not worth the expense imo, if 6 mage att would beat 3 str then just use infinity.

Ok, now I will try with this setup. Any advice on titan luring? I haven't used one at TDs in ages, and I don't remember it working out well.

 

EDIT: That was much faster actually killing, but most of the time was spent getting the titan in place to range instead of melee or let me "see" the demons that I was attacking as well as dodging a guy trying to attack the NE demon, but ended with still 25 kills in the 40 minutes..(37.5 kph) So the problem with this seems to be placement. What can I do to minimize the time spent with placement? Especially when I have to go lure the other demon mid-kill and place the titan again.

 

EDIT:: Second attempt and still only 26(39 kph)...can't imagine what I'm doing wrong here.

 

EDIT--542 mage, 541 attack

Are you on a server with a little amount of players in it?

[Quyneax]

Add me and I'll show you the lures for the south spot sometime :). It's much easier with titan placement because there isn't anything.

You have to show me as well some day ;_;
