Thanks for the reply, but looking for more quantifiable info. I know it's better, but how much time does soa save over fire surge on the above tasks? 30 seconds a task? or 5mins? for example. Thanks.

Bit more than 80% better.

That's with the Armadyl battlestaff, right?

Yeah. I automatically assume you're using an ABS, because I don't see the point of using the spell without the staff :P

 

Anyway, to compare Storm of Armadyl against Fire Surge...

 

Min hit of SoA at 106 Magic and a +30% damage boost is 227. Max hit is 478. An average hit of 352 or 146,66 DPS at an attack speed of 2.4 ticks per attack.

 

Max hit of Fire Surge at 106 Magic and a 35% damage boost is 457. An average hit of 228,5 which is 76,16 DPS at an attack speed of 3 ticks per attack.

Why compare it with Fire Surge though? Fire surge is made completely obsolete by Polypore at anything except Glacors and Ice strykes.

Nop, fire surge has a lower max than pps and costs a hell of a lot more than pps.

Working on max and completionist capes.

Oh. Well I never used either as it is except for ice strykes (fire surge). Now I use soa on fight caves, miths, and ganos though.

Storm of Armadyl is about as expensive as fire surge with chaotic staff (per damage) I think, unless the runes are way over 2k again. Never really a reason to surge when you can storm. Polypore is more relevant.
