Platinum_Myr Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It's "supposed" to be "ultra weak to bolts; weak to range; strong to everything else" I would report a bug if you find it not the case for certain monsters.

Ruinous Edge Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Any word from the Beta forums when our next steam punk scientist outfit event is?Only one I've been aware of is the CW one, 3 beta weekends ago now. I would check myself but oh wait...I'm not allowed to view the Beta forums, because I'm only a paying member and therefore do not have the right to full beta access.

Duel Arean event was swapped out fro soulwars at the last min as they do not wanna do duel until they've dealt with some current issues and soulwars (like last weeks boss things) is not a beta outfit event.

Ruinous Edge Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thank you, and not a fan of Soul wars at all, you keep targeting your own allies with ice spells, and getting annoying messages in game chat saying your not meant to attack your allies.

Alg Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So, are they ever gonna remove the healing cap on brews?Probably not, they were incredibly OP.At the moment they're completely useless, especially since they're a potion with a requirement in the 80s and fairly uncommon ingredients. A buff wouldn't hurt, and it probably wouldn't be too game breaking. Perhaps have them heal the equivalent of some mid-level food per sip, so they'll be more than rocktail per inventory spot but not necessarily good if you take a lot of damage at a time? Or just have them heal a fixed percentage of your health so they'll be a bit more useful with life point boosts.

Hedgehog Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think they're fine in the current system and don't need to be nerfed. They're expensive and drain your stats. Their only real advantage is that they let you last longer (since eating doesn't make you lose attack turns). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't they heal you without draining your action bar unlike food that does drain your action bar? That makes them worth using right there imo.

That makes them worth using right there imo.They also heal about as much as they do in the live game, if not a tiny bit more. It's barely anything compared to the thousands of health that even Barrows gives. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cow Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Nests are down to under 5k.. Snapdragons will probably be there within a few weeks. Super restores were held up by brews. Otherwise, one would just use a prayer potion. So I hope that they do something to make brews not useless content. Not having a bxpw to push prices up doesn't help either.Perhaps healing abilities/soul splitting strategic hits will become an even larger part of healing. With abilities allowing you to hit thousands at once, soul split (vampyrism?) could be more effective than losing an attack turn (unless you time it right) to eating a rocktail.How helpful are things like uni scrolls/lvl79 titan scrolls?

Robert_R Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm confused. How are they useless if they're one of the few things that heal you without draining your action bar? Or am I wrong and food doesn't drain your action bar either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saradomin_Mage Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Tried Soul Wars in the Beta, and it's really, really much more difficult to rush the avatar now :P Everyone's just spraying abilities there.

Had 3 draws in total. Without bots Soulwars is just Castlewars without a flag. From someone who has 6 Tz-Rek-Jads, the first game I tried was...less than satisfying, but that's probably because everyone is "testing" nex sets. Bad idea Jagex.

They may not drain your action bar, but they also don't do much other than take up inventory space.Don't they still heal for 500 a dose? That means it's the best healing per slot in the game still. The new niche it fills is non-emergancy heals, things like in between mobs, or when you only are taking minimal damage that has started to add up over time. Think of them like Prayer Renewals now, far more efficient than restores, but not good if you need large bursts. El Psy Congroo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have 2 abilities that can exchange adrenalin for healing which do much more and are perfectly suited to use between mobs when bossing or w/e, whilst for slayer there shouldn't really be an in between mobs unless you are doing like KBD for blk drags or dks for daggs Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 or when you only are taking minimal damage that has started to add up over timeActually not a bad use for them... Still limited to people with overloads (Best healing per slot doesn't mean much if half your inventory is restores), but they might end up being the best 'food' for big tasks of weaker monsters.

J35u5_M4 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 They heal like... ~200 more than a rocktail, at the cost of being 4 sips, while rocktail is 1 click food, even if you lose adrenaline, it's not that hard to get it back up, they need to boost the brews, otherwise they're dead content lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
