I fail at godwars :(

[baileydafrog]

With only 86 prayer I can only stay alive long enough to get around 4 kills at Bandos with what I have tried, 7-8 bosses with Vampyrism, I'm also only 86 herblore so no access to overloads/extremes, I've never tried before this weekend and struggling there so don't really want to try the others. I don't have the money to get either Soulsplit or anywhere near overloads.

 

Right now I own head/body/legs/boots of Bandos, Armadyl and Subjunction, with dominion gloves of all classes, but only chaotic maul which is a "high" tier weapon, I've tried for royal crossbow but never made it past the 3rd stage of qbd with a full inv and tortoise of rocktails, for mage i own sol and Polypore.

 

Usually by the time I get to Bandos boss I've used 3-4 rocktails on the killcount without Vampyrism, I usually go in and stand next to the mage guy and kill the boss whilst doing aoe attacks as well as regular ones, I've tried using regular super sets with Piety and melee protect but seem to get more kills with Dominion Marker 4 and the same prayers, I use Bonecrusher and Dragontooth Necklace to keep my prayer up long enough for the altar to refresh, row for hopefully better drops, tortoise full of rocktails and I think that's it, I wear Boots of Subjunction for the kc Saradomin arrow in arrow slot to avoid damage on the way to the Bandos area.

 

So yeah, any advice would be appreciated, I realise getting rich would make it easier but as of yet that hasn't happened for me, but any changes or things I should slowly aim for in the long term that I may not of thought of would be nice, thanks all :)

 

Ooohhh stats in sig!

Oh and right now I wear trimmed skill cape, I never bothered with getting a firecape, are they overly worth it now?

[DharoksWhip]

I'd suggest Chaotic Rapier simply because you can get a shield to go with it (E.g Bandos warshield) which is cheap and decent, (it also offers protection from bandos followers), my other suggestion is to duo, but if you really want to solo use Barrows armour, (It's for tanks now), with that setup I believe you'll last a lot longer. If you really want offensive Armour, to compensate I'd bring a strong Titan. If this does not work I'm sorry as I am a low(er) level and do not know much on the subject :D

What ability rotation are you using? AoE attacks are not useful if you are not using Soul Split.

 

You could upgrade your weapons to main-hand claw and EE offhand, which will also give you Destroy as dps boost.

 

If you can't last very long, don't use bonecruncher. Just use a fury and two super restores or so. The bones are worth more than the restores.

im not overly doing it for money, i just wanted to try it for a change, i've still made 1-300k each time so far without getting any drops, i only use aoe to almost kill the lessers whilst killing the main guy, I'm not going to lie, I'm fairly clueless when it comes to abilities, I have dismember, fury (which tbh i click it then click another after 1 hit just to build adrenaline), cleave, punish, slice, sever, assault, hurricane and backhand. I'm clueless when it comes to healing abilities or how people keep their adrenaline up

 

right now i only have about 10k tokens but i will be building them up when i have 3 weeks off work soon, but the priority there is charm collector first then either a main hand or chaotic staff, undecided as of yet

 

i'm not really a fan of repairing armour which is my main issue with barrows armour :( would a titan be worth more than 18 rocktails?

 

thanks :)

[baileydafrog]

and i'm not against duo, i just dont like to let others down tbh :/

If you are making 300k a trip then Barrows cost aren't bad at your smithing level. However, for herblore you should try Warbands. It's an insane amount of exp should you be successful.

[baileydafrog]

when it comes to new things i'm very hesitant, i dont want to try one and ruin it for everyone, nor get pk'ed, though i do realise i need to take a serious look at it

OK, ability rotation 101:

 

Start with Slice.

Use Dismember.

Use Slice.

Use Sever.

Use Slice.

Use Havoc.

Use Slice. You should now have 56% adrenaline, enough for a treshold.

Use Assault.

Use Slice.

Use Havoc.

Use Destroy or Slaughter. Step under your target if using Slaughter.

Use Slice.

Use Dismember.

Use Destroy or Slaughter.

Use Slice.

Use Sever.

Use Slice.

Use Havoc.

Use Assault.

 

Note this is only an approximation! I don't want to bother with cooldowns here, so it's probably a bit off. But in general, alternate Slice and other basics, prioritizing Dismember and Sever, and use tresholds: Assault > Slaughter/Destroy.

 

You can no longer stall adrenaline using non-targeting abilities, so keep the last minion alive if you end the kill with a good amount of adrenaline. Starting a kill with full adrenaline, you can use something like Slaughter > Assault > Destroy.

at bandos kick should be thrown in that rotation somewhere, probably in place of havoc initially, and then I'm too lazy to find where else.

Good point, I always forget about stuns.

 

@OP: Use stuns only on things that are stun immune. I know, it makes no sense, but that's the way it is.

[baileydafrog]

i do the slice followed by another all the time and i do use stun, i was using backhand, is there any difference between the 2? i also tried qbd again and found her pretty easy in general when i pay attention so i do now have royal crossbow

[Aiel]

kick has knockback, backhand doesn't. Most things that are stun immune are too big to knockback so it's not really much of a difference.
