Why doesn't anyone train on giant rock crabs?

[Bubsa]

They can dance all day, they can dance all day. Try and hit them. Try and hit them. Come on.

[SLR]

the act like ghasts or ghouls or whatever they are called (near canifis), they retreat when you get their health down and another one attacks you.

1. They retreat.

 

2. Mage is the only effective way to kill them.

 

 

 

:cry:

 

its annoying to kill them, i tried with fire waves, and everytime when they get below 50 hp, they run away

 

then another one attacks you and when you almost him, he retreats and another attacks you.

i never thought iot would take this long for someone to realize that ice spells would be effective....

 

 

 

ice = no movement = no retreating

Think before you speak,lets say you use ice burst,at 4 chaos 2 death and 4

 

water per cast it would cost 4*150=600+2*300=600+4*20+80 = 1080 gp per cast.

 

 

 

Lets say you hit an average of 11 damage a cast,since the crabs have 240 hitpoints each you would have to do 240/11 = 22.

 

 

 

So basically spending 24k per rock crab,and thats only if you get lucky and it doesnt run away in between freezes.

entangle them :shock:

[Nazgul740]

Again, just go deeper into the caves. There's a 5 crab spot in 2 locations. They're easy to kill there, great with mage.

 

 

 

I tried once to get all 5 into on spot, then use ice barrage on them. Kinda hard, but not impossible.

 

 

 

Great for firebolt with gauntlets.
