Snewgle Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hello tip.it! Long time Runescape player here (probably started somewhere around 2005), who have just returned to the game. I've got turmoil/overloads, soon pack yak and maxed combat stats except magic (which is at an embarassing level of 88). When it comes to gear I got full bandos and armadyl banked, with a chaotic maul and longsword as well as a royal crossbow. What I'm wondering is if the new lvl 75 battle of lumbridge gear is worth getting? I've done some Kalphite King with a couple of friends and plan on doing general PvM and bossing, and I've heard something about hybriding being good at KK/Nex. Thanks in advance!

chenw Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hybriding and Hybrid armor are two completely different ideas. Hybrid armor is one where it is not particularly strong or weak against any of the 3 styles. Hybriding is the act of bringing at least 2 of Ranged, Magic or Melee to a particular boss. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Quyneax Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Not worth it for PvM, but it's guaranteed-kept-on-death (outside the Wilderness) and fairly cheap, so you might as well.

Noxx Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Sorry to hijack, but what is the Hybrid Armour comparable to in terms of stats/usability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 melee defence of dragon armour, magic defence of grifolic, range defence of black dhide, and level 60 LP.

I do know what hybriding means, what I meant was that I wondered if the BoL armour was worth using while hybriding? Thanks anyway guys, seems like I might as well buy lamps to use on Agility...

Quasar Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 the BOL is good for dpsing at kalphite king IF you have a good healvoker AND are tribriding (not just hybriding) AND either can't afford nex gear/don't trust your connection/don't feel like tryharding with armour switches. if you do decide to go with it, i would recommend wearing t80 or t85 boots+gloves+helm as they don't affect your accuracy but would give a greater defence bonus. I tried soloing dag kings in full warpriest and either i just suck at dag kings or it's bad but I ate through a yak in 1 ovl flask. best drops (reasonably accurate/up to date): 1x Elysian Sigil (LS), 1x Arcane Sigil (cs), 4x Armadyl Hilt (solo at 100m, 100m, 50m, and 5m), 2x Saradomin Hilt (solo at 25m), 5x Draconic Visage (34m,1.2m,1.2m) and various cs/ls/ffa Nex splits.

The nex gear I can't afford for a good while, but what is a "healvoker"? We just used one person with a shield to provoke and block the 1-hit-ko ability. Is a healvoker one who uses lunar magic to heal the rest of the team, or am I just missing out on something? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I believe the Group Heal spell is 'free' if used during Barricade, because Barricade blocks the damage you take from casting Heal. 1 Supporter of Zaros | Quest Cape owner since 22 may 2010 | No skills below 99 | Total level 2595 | Completionist Cape owner since 17th June 2013 | Suggestions 99 summoning (18th June 2011, previously untrimmed) | 99 farming (14th July 2011) | 99 prayer (8th September 2011) | 99 constitution (10th September 2011) | 99 dungeoneering (15th November 2011) 99 ranged (28th November 2011) | 99 attack, 99 defence, 99 strength (11th December 2011) | 99 slayer (18th December 2011) | 99 magic (22nd December 2011) | 99 construction (16th March 2012) 99 herblore (22nd March 2012) | 99 firemaking (26th March 2012) | 99 cooking (2nd July 2012) | 99 runecrafting (12th March 2012) | 99 crafting (26th August 2012) | 99 agility (19th November 2012) 99 woodcutting (22nd November 2012) | 99 fletching (31st December 2012) | 99 thieving (3rd January 2013) | 99 hunter (11th January 2013) | 99 mining (21st January 2013) | 99 fishing (21st January 2013) 99 smithing (21st January 2013) | 120 dungeoneering (17th June 2013) | 99 divination (24th November 2013) Tormented demon drops: twenty effigies, nine pairs of claws, two dragon armour slices and one elite clue | Dagannoth king drops: two dragon hatchets, two elite clues, one archer ring and one warrior ring Glacor drops: four pairs of ragefire boots, one pair of steadfast boots, six effigies, two hundred lots of Armadyl shards, three elite clues | Nex split: Torva boots | Kalphite King split: off-hand drygore mace 30/30 Shattered Heart statues completed | 16/16 Court Cases completed | 25/25 Choc Chimp Ices delivered | 500/500 Vyrewatch burned | 584/584 tasks completed | 4000/4000 chompies hunted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasar Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Heal other and heal group are indeed free on barricade, but recall that resonancing kalphite king's one hit attack will bring the voker up to max hp. So you can actually cast heal other, get yourself down to 1 hp, and then resonance to max in 1 hit. best drops (reasonably accurate/up to date): 1x Elysian Sigil (LS), 1x Arcane Sigil (cs), 4x Armadyl Hilt (solo at 100m, 100m, 50m, and 5m), 2x Saradomin Hilt (solo at 25m), 5x Draconic Visage (34m,1.2m,1.2m) and various cs/ls/ffa Nex splits.

Hedgehog Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Remember that the opportunity cost of warpriest is a good chunk of agility xp. That alone basically makes it not worth it. It's neat for fashionscaping, though (the Zamorak one, at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Wait, isn't Resonance supposed to not heal on special attacks like that? Not that I object, but that seems wrong :P. @Meredith: Full war-priest is 20k points, which is exactly 8 huge lamps, about 8 hours of agility. In that sense, it's like getting a pair of chaotics (tops). I agree that it's not worth it, but it's not a huge requirement considering that the equipment is zero-risk with decent stats.

Quasar Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 that's if you get the helm and cape, easily the most expensive and least useful parts of the set. and Q, res doesn't heal a lot of special attacks (contain, prison, red bomb, kk dig attack), but I'm pretty sure healing the green attack is an intended mechanic. best drops (reasonably accurate/up to date): 1x Elysian Sigil (LS), 1x Arcane Sigil (cs), 4x Armadyl Hilt (solo at 100m, 100m, 50m, and 5m), 2x Saradomin Hilt (solo at 25m), 5x Draconic Visage (34m,1.2m,1.2m) and various cs/ls/ffa Nex splits.

Sy_Accursed Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Personally I think warpriest is great for questers. Going in blind on day 1 a zero risk set where you can use all 3 combat styles easily will make for a bit little less danger/risk.
