Aiel's EoC Tribrid DKs Guide

[V O R K]

Congratulations on the Community roundup entry :)

Yes, IF you have fremenik boots 4. Otherwise you'll be losing out on ~800k gp/hr in bones. Pig is better then a tortoise right?

I believe when fully upgraded yes it is.

[Jagiella]

About how many kills/trip do you get with this method? I use a pretty different set-up, but I've been looking to try range armour.

 

Also, if you don't mind a few comments... (My gear set-up is different, so these might not even affect you)

 

I avoid using ricochet and bombardment against prime, in-case it hits supreme (assuming he's spawned already).

Using Death's swiftness at the beginning of Prime kills is really nice, and I usually get a 4k+ snipe hit right off the bat

 

I find ring of vigour pretty useful since I use a lot of ultimates

 

Debilitate (defensive threshold) is nice against supreme.

 

Also, I'm not sure if you do or not, but picking up hides adds another little chunk to your profits (I think they're 4-5kea atm).

[Aiel]

I get around 100+-10 KPH. So like 700 per trip max but I usually only do 2-2.5 hour trips as I've been doing them for slayer lately. I don't have that problem with range AOEs as supreme isn't usually spawned when Im killing prime (my kill order is supreme->prime->rex). Not sure on vigour, I haven't used it since EOC. I only have adrenaline for one ultimate per kill cycle, and I'd say deaths swiftness>sunshine if you have t80/90 range and mage and sunshine>deaths swiftness with t80 mage and t90 range Ill update that in the guide once finals are over. I'd pick up hides if I wasn't so damn lazy.

That debilitate tip is good if you find yourself taking a lot of damage on supreme, Ive never used it and I only use SS for healing, but for non t90 melees Im sure it'd be great. 

[Noxx]

I only have Chaotics and Barrows at the moment (Well i have Deathlotus Coif and Chaps, Tetsu Helm and Legs). So would i be using DL Chaps and Coif with Karil Body? And will i still do fine using this with Chaotics? Should i shove some food in my yak just incase?

I mean i could take a shield with me and use Rejuv every now and then, but i guess that would totally kill my dps.

[Quyneax]

You should bring some extra food, presumably. Taking a shield shouldn't be necessary, try to strike a killing blow using the new hp basic ability sometimes.

[gago]

Death lotus/karil is a perfectly fine combo. I was doing well in full karil.

Using a shield is a waste, don't even :p

 

I always bring full yak of rocktails(massive overkill) just in case bad things happen.

Penance aura + t3 reverence and ~5 super restores should do for prayer for a 2 hour trip(if you have no attention span for longer like me).

Were you using t90 or t80 weapons?

I went with the Death Lotus/Karil combo, and to be honest, i was not having a very easy time. Most of the time the next King would spawn about 2 or 3 attacks before i managed to kill the previous one. I couldn't rely on SS as main healing because i kept getting hit in the 1000's, sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row. I felt like the damage i was doing wasn't enough to provide decent healing. After an hour i had already emptied my entire yak, and was relying on Shark drops.

My ability bars are as suggested. I was even in a low populated world at the time (~200 people).

Also, in the hour and a half trip i did, i managed to only kill 96 Kings. 

So i think either i'm doing something extremely wrong, or my weapons are duds.

[Aiel]

try bringing a melee plate/legs switch for supreme

[Noxx]

try bringing a melee plate/legs switch for supreme

Yeah he was actually the only one that gave me a lot of trouble, to be honest. I'd take a bit longer on him than the rest, cause my rotation to flop.

Thanks a lot.

[gago]

I have dual drygores, royal crossbow and chaotic staff.

At first i used really low populated worlds so i got used to the rotation& switches. But yeah supreme can be a pain in the arse. In higher populated worlds i often turmoiled him. Try to save adrenaline for him so you can treshold him asap.

[V O R K]

Full seasinger/cstaff -> switch to karil body/death lotus hood/RCB -> switch to verac/Vinewhip/OH claw.

 

Lets hope for the best :p

[Aiel]

Id leave the seasinger in the bank and only bring plate/legs switches.

[Quasar]

how bad is it if I just bonecrush/demonhorn the bones.  (too lazy)

[Aiel]

800k to 1.2m per hour bad

[brainymidget]

Wow, DK'ing sure has changed a good bit in the past few years.

 

Real nice guide though, even if I don't know what a lot of it means now :P

[Ammako]

If you are telling us to wear ranged gloves/boots in order to maximize our Magic and Ranged defences, why aren't Glaiven boots and Tracking gloves even an option?

Wouldn't they give you more armour against Magic and Ranged than Pernix/Arma ones? Or is the damage increase from Pernix/Arma really important when killing Prime?

 

On a different note, would someone have the time to make a video guide based on this?

I think that having both a video guide and a written guide would help even more people, since some people (such as myself) would understand much better by seeing it in action instead of reading a text guide.

[Aiel]

at high stats the extra defense is not needed, so extra damage should be prioritized. As your safe kill speed (not getting spawned on to the point where you need food) is determined by your slowest king, by increasing your lowest combat styles DPS you increase your KPH more then the base percent increase in DPS would indicate, assuming you know what world population you can safely hold and can find a open world of the correct population.

Unfortunately Im not active, nor do I have a fast enough computer to make a video to accompany the guide. If someone else wants to (Ambler hint hint hint hint hint), much good juju will be sent their way.

[Ammako]

I see.

Would Spined gloves/boots be worth using until I get enough money for at least Arma? Or should I make money elsewhere first and try only once I have Armadyl gloves/boots?

[Aiel]

Id probably use subj over spined. 

[dilute atom]

Nice guide :D

Ty

[Aiel]

new darts fall between chaotic and asc obviously. OH asc got worse, MH got better comparatively. New ring is probably worth using, new cape probably isnt. Sacrifice is worth using at the end of kills. /monthly guide update

[Bxpprod]

Used guide. Wasn't even mad. 8/10 will maybe use again.

[Aiel]

8/10? I believe that means you owe me 80% of your hourly DK profits. PAY UP!

[Aiel]

someone with at least MH asc+pernix/DL+drygores+cstaff want to see if DKs are still possible to tribrid?
