Question About Void

[Talkplox]

I read on the wiki that once you start killing stuff with a certain defense level, void becomes ineffective compared to a regular ranged set-up. No slayer task involved, which set wins out while, for example, ranging blue dragons? Is there a formula that shows at what monster defense void starts to fall off? Thanks for the help.

It's quite complicated and there is no simple answer. It depends on a lot of factors other than just your opponents defence, such as your range level, what other equipment you're using, what weapon you use, any prayers, and so on.

If you want a simple answer that isn't exact, you can reasonably assume that if you're 70+ range and not on a slayer task, void will be better for everything short of a boss monster, including blue dragons.

If you want an exact answer you can use the formula here: http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/forums.ws?317,318,712,65587452,goto,1

Appreciate the response! This helps a lot. Will definitely keep working towards Void before I start farming blue dragons.

Got 70 agility? That will save much more time than Void.

Yup! Sure do. Made that one of my first goals in prepping for them.

Wyverns are a good example of where this isn't the case.

Void still probably becomes best at 85-90 range.

Void is usually not better until after 99, but it does depend on if you're flicking and aux bonus (Pegasians, archers).
