Solo Armadyl

[Th e Doctor]

Last time I went I was more than fine in a mix of t7 and t8 gear and a royal crossbow with just soul split, overloads, prayer renewals and demon horn necklace. I've heard that since the accuracy/defense update it's no longer possible to do it like that in less than t8 gear? I have the cash for 90 crafting and the lacquer for DL plate and chest and I'm just wondering if it's worth breaking my bank for the sake of being able to solo Arma effectively again as my primary money maker.

Depending on your quest points, Tormented Demons > Armadyl.

 

However, a couple weeks ago I was getting 99 Magic on an alternate account and soloed from 92-99 at Armadyl. Seeing as that you have 92 Magic... :P.

 

When JJ and I go, and he brings magic and I bring ranged, he destroys me... I don't stand a chance. Though, I've not tried to solo Armadyl with range in some time.

 

Do you have sea slinger? Are you far from it? When maging, there's a specific tactic you an use (I was in Virtus) that you can AFK with momentum. Makes it so you're garanteed to hit at least two minions alongside the boss. Or, if you prefer faster kills, you can survive using abilities.

 

I'll ask JJ when he gets home if he thinks you can survive with 95 ranged at Armadyl. Have you boosted and made overloads?

I went yesterday in full Pernix with dual CCbows. Soul split was pretty much enough, but I did need the occasional manta ray/potato drop to keep me alive.

 

No idea how effective mage is there.

What's your ranged level? His is 95. I've gone with a 92 ranged some weeks ago and got ripped a new... Yeah. :P.

[Tansuo]

99. I found that Kree ramboed with a few 1k's here and there, but on the whole I was fine. Probably around 1/15 kills I needed to fall back on the Rocktails I had brought with me, but it wasn't too bad.

I have TD's unlocked and am currently trying to get the hang of them. I keep hitting the wrong key (switching prayer when I mean to switch weapons) and I've been doing it with momentum for now until I get a better feel for them.

 

I have all but one of the seasingers scrolls but I only have 42 chi and 83 runecrafting so I'm aways off. I've got ~200 overloads sitting and waiting to use. I'm assuming you use virtus wand/book?

 

And yes I've boosted and have ~200 overloads sitting in the bank. I'm willing to switch to do TD's it's just frustrating that I've taken as much time as I have at them and not seen much improvement. The video guides out there that I've found all presuppose pre EoC experience at them which I did not have.
