Just returning to the game. I know a little about EOC (not much). What is currently the best setup in Miscellenia? Any other big advice or updates I may have missed would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Justin

Since nests crashed, I believe coal is firmly the best. I'm not sure about the secondary resource.

Okay, thanks. Is the fury an amulet worth having now?

Yes, however it is no longer the best amulet for anything. You have your arcane stream necklace for magic, your amulet of ranging for ranged and your Saradomin's whisper for melee. But the fury is close behind all of these and has prayer bonus.

 

Note that critical autoattacks get a 1.5x damage multiplier, so 1% crit translates to .5% extra dps (roughly). Critical abilities always hit their max hit, so 1% crit on an ability translates to 1% extra dps.

 

The main changes is the heavy emphasis on single-style combat - penalties on switching, little hybrid equipment, major accuracy penalties for 'wrong' class major armour, exaggerated weaknesses. Only body, legs and shield equipment affects your accuracy, so you can wear the wrong helm/gloves etc. and still get 100% accuracy, but the rest is pretty heavily one class.

 

Another main difference is that combat is slower now. Where previously monsters like Jad and attacks like claw specials could kill a player (virtually) in one hit, now the highest hit will do somewhere around half your total healths worth of damage. You can no longer enter combat with a big hit, as you need to build adrenaline first.
