I haven't been gone for too awful long, just 2 months or so.

 

1. Post EOC, what slayer gear do I use? I haven't done anything combatwise but I am ready to start again.

2. Has dungeoneering changed at all?

3. What does prayer do?

4. Will some of my items that decreased ever go back up?

5. Player owned ports? What the heck are those?

6. The economy looks weird.

7. What is the next max combat level?

 

Sorry for the mass questioning.

1) Same armour as before basically, but then you want 2h or dual wield weps for all 10 cmb styles to maximise killing speed. Excluding hyper costly nex tier stuff your looking at:

C maul for crush

Cr * 2 for stab

Whip + EE for slash

Ccb*2 for bolt

Crystal bow for arrow

Sagies for thrown

polypore/sol for maging

 

2) Yes its kinda much easier and theres been a bind system overhaul

 

3) Prayer is same as before other than protect/deflect is only 50% effective now so there is much less prayer tasks

 

4) Probably not, items are settling into their new places based on usefulness, or at least they won't hit where they were pre-eoc

 

5) A port that you own. Read the news post and fansites for more details, but as you have no 90 stats you won;t be starting it anytime soon.

 

7) 200. Combat level is X+def+2 where X is your highest stat out of att, str, mage, range and summ

1-5) Well explained.

 

6) Need use to. But still, raw materials are in price ;]

 

7) Defence ? Isn't that two highest combat stats, no matter what they are ?

^No

 

The formula is X+def+2

 

That's why I am currently 197 combat:

99 + 96 + 2

99 coming from att or strength, 96 from def.

My 97 mage, 95 summ and 88 range are ignored.

I shall also add that for combat, if you are using abilities, 2H weapons have higher dps than both 1h+shield and dual wielding. Godswords are better than vine whip+ eee and dual cls for example, same deal with saradomin sword and Zamorakian. Ranged also falls to this paramether. As for Mage, there's still a debate whether or not a staff (Armadyl Bstaff is the best non degradeable) or wand+shield (Virtus>Master>Ahrim's) is the best using abilities since autoattacks function differently, but Wands seem to be superior.

 

If using mommentum, provided the same tier, they should be the same dps.
