Very nice guide. Certainly explains why Dagganoth Rex bumbles around on corners instead of abusing me!

 

 

 

I'd quite like investiage Damis. I heard that he was blockable at first, but then they chaged it so he wasn't.

 

 

 

However, I have always been able to block him right up to this present day. I train in his lair, and I get my fair share of pures asking for help, and I find that if they don't panic, and move properly, I can block him for them, while I just stand there with auto-retal on getting rid of the skeles.

 

 

 

I believe it does have something to do with the 'trampling' you mention, but n the 4 or 5 times I've done it, i've never figured out exactly why sometimes he doesn't move and sometimes he does.

 

 

 

Anyway, great guide, and if you ever get P2P back, and can find someone with reasonable defense who needs to do DT, we could go check Damis blocking out sometime?

I myself haven't done DT yet, and my def should hold up, but sadly I'm purposely keeping myself f2p for a while. Damn that Real Life getting in the way. I'll try to look you up whenever I get back into it though, thanks!

 

 

 

I'm glad to hear that the reports of damis being 'unblockable by friends' may be exaggerated. I can think of ways to make it inconvenient, like giving the monster range or mage abilities (the KQ and other 'trophy' monsters) or filling the room with aggressive underlings in single-combat area (the wild dogs in brimhaven dungeon.) Or you can put the monster inside a room that can only be entered on a quest... But I've never seen a monster that breaks the rules in this guide.

 

 

 

Except, I just remembered, I hear that abyssal demons always teleport to be next to you, which would make them impossible to block. That would be a real exception, since that breaks the rules of how normal monsters move. Hmmm...

Wow. Neat graphics and high in quality.

 

Clear explanation and detailed illustration.

 

Wonderful examples and systematic groupings.

 

 

 

 

This is what guides nowadays greatly lack in.

You have way too much time on your hands, good work! I might use some of these tricks some day. Can you use a friend to block in multiway, or will the monster attack your friend even when you're attacking it? Never really thought about.

Great Guide!

 

 

 

Alot of players have know this (incl. me) but haven't been able to put it into such simple words and diagrams! :wink:

 

 

 

A++ Guide! :D

That's an excellent question, and to be honest I forget the answer. I know that a monster will sometimes choose to attack the player with the lowest remaining hit points, but I forget all the circumstances surrounding that, and I don't know what happens in the context of blocking, etc.. I don't want to start guessing blindly either. I'll have to research that in detail sometime. Anyone else know the answer? Thanks for the question. :)

Wow alot of time has been put in this, great work here.

Superb guide!

 

 

 

Not only did I learn a lot of things I didn't know but always wanted to know, it's also extremely useful!

 

 

 

Thanks!

Very well written :)

awesome :|

 

 

 

*impressed*

nice guide man!

 

 

 

looks like u had to put a ton of work in!

As a miner who frequently goes to hazardous mining sites (mostly in the Wilderness), I, too, found this guide useful, mostly in answering some of the questions I've had about monster blocking, namely, why do hobgoblins/skeletons get hung up on certain corners and not others. Now I know why, and how to exploit that to make my pker shields more effective. Thanks a million.

 

Great work!

 

 

 

--Darg--

wow, nice guide, u put a lot of effort into it as i can see. and also helped me out a bit as well. so, thanks!

I think that the monster attacks the player with the lowest combat level. When me (level 90) and a level 57 friend were at black demons, i had about 30 hp left, and he had full, he got attacked.

I love this guide! A+++ :D

Great guide! =D>

 

 

 

I knew some of the stuff, but i learned much more.

 

This is one of the best guide I've ever seen. And the diagrams makes it so simple to understand.

 

This guide is just awesome! Thanks.

Best article I've ever read about anything, thank's very much for such an interesting read.

Wow. That took a while & a lot of work. I love the part about trampling. I'll be using that section a lot :)

PS. The attention to detail izzawowzers! Please make sure those pics stay active. =D>

your a genius!!! big help btw

wow...nice guide =D> ...this should be put in the tip.it guids

Whoa, thats awesome. I had no idea about the trampling... The rest is pretty basic and can be done simply, assuming you have a willing partner, but I had no idea what determined whether monsters can walk over players or not. Thanks for the very insightful post.

awesome guide, it will come in handy when i feel like ranging.

Thanks everyone for more praise and adoration. My ego loves you! :wink:

 

 

 

I subscribed to members again a while ago. I had said I intended to play with Damis and try to block him with a partner, but I have to admit I already went and finished the quest by myself. :oops: Thanks anyway for having volunteered, Roglord!

Thanks for the add. I'll certainly keep an eye on the pics.

 

 

 

As for my plans for the guide.. My stock of ideas for adding to the guide hasn't completely dried up, but since I've been catching up on all kinds of p2p stuff lately (and just being lazy) this guide has been put on the back burner. I still think all the important stuff is already in it anyway. Comments and suggestions always welcome.

 

 

 

One of the 'p2p things' on my list is to get a fire cape. Safe spots are old hat, I won't cover them, but one of the tricks to use against Jad's healers is to line them up single-file so only one attacks you. I might add a short section on how to do that, if it's as simple as I think it is.

Great guide.

 

 

 

I already used this at the jellies, but I never knew how it excactly works. Thannks for this!!! :D
