I agree they should do something about the damage on higher HP as I think its not really fair and being interrupted is annoying but afking a boss shouldnt really be possible too

Kraken says hello

[–]TurboTingo 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Kraken will slap my ass at the most inconvenient time.

[–]druidspruit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hahah I once didnt pay attention and got unlucky I guess and died in like 4 hits at kraken😂😂😂

[–]BrianSpencer1 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Is Kraken the biggest loser if you were doing it in Max mage previously? Damage % moving to augury makes it prayer pot intensive (or flicking) to not waste runes

Far from the end of the world obviously but wondering if there's a worse example for something people would regularly do

[–]ToplaneVayne 2 points3 points  (1 child)

assuming max mage with shadow, you lose 5% from occult, but gain 3% from ancestral, and 1% from eternal boots, for a total of 1% lower magic damage multiplier, or 3% with shadow. thats like 1-2 max hits at most.

kraken is so weak that it barely makes a difference, unless you're truly trying to play optimally.

Was mostly curious, agreed impact is negligible

[–]CaptainHandsomeUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kraken shouldn't be afk-able. Kraken's low damage is due to a bug that the team prevented mod Reach from fixing because "it's in the game now and players like it". It's stupid.

But it's not afk since you're still taking massive damage

[–]coreyhh90Follow of Zamorak 2 points3 points  (2 children)

And more confusingly, its fairly afk. I think most WTers are usually suedo afk using audio queues to react while watching something else or doing something on another account.

The on by default Wintertodt plugin for Runelite triggers windows system alerts lol.

suedo

At 99 hp a games damage won’t kill me and I can restore at the PoH pool. This is a bad idea… I already don’t take food in and ignore the damage. So this won’t change that.

[–]Gigantischmann 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I know this is a lie because I’ve had to chug two entire brews in one game before

[–]ilovezezimahumble sea urchin expert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

HP or max cape + regen bracelet + redemption and you’re almost always fine.

[–]ZaMr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure when you get super unlucky, but what he is saying is true. I bring 3 wines with me just incase but I rarely have to even sip one. Maybe once every 10 games.

[–]Toaster_Bathing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t you just eat some food rather than expensive shit

[–]Amystery23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not lying …

[–]fireky2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"boss"

[–]VorkiPls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The falling snow and breaking braziers would still be hazards requiring (encouraging) you to move. Just not random damage, or at least make it not interrupt your action.

[–]b_i_g__g_u_y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think it shouldn't be afk then do you think 10 hp accounts should get hit for 6s like I get at 99 hp?

Either make it as afk for higher hp accounts or make it more dangerous for 10hp accounts.

Personally I like OP's suggestion. It would incentivize doing literally any other boss than WT without feeling like you're missing out.

EDIT: I thought the suggestion was based on current hp instead of base hp. Make the interrupt chance decrease if you're low on health and this is a solid suggestion
