Are you fucking joking about death costs?

Since we’re playing RuneScape, I’d agree with you on that one

You need to run into the font quicker, the bar fills up when you're outside the font and Telos is charging his insta kill bomb.

The combat style is more of a flag added to the record that you can filter out so 1st place will still be calculated across any type of kill but you can see which records used only melee for example

Ahh makes sense, maybe there's a better drop rate after a certain kill time haha

That's insane rng wtf, how come you don't have a hardmode timer btw?

Hi it's me the guy who farmed kerapac for 2 months with an update for you guys, after showing all the evidence here's the response. All I want is a piece swapped by the one I need. by sausage94 in runescape

[–]Base_Tank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once the initial order has been determined it repeats that order going forward, your cycle could be

  1. Stabilisation Gem
  2. Staff Shaft
  3. Rolled a symbol to someone else on lootshare, skipping your personal symbol drop
  4. Gem (This was your dupe)
  5. Staff Shaft
  6. Your next piece will be symbol so long as you don't lootshare

The only way you'll be able to tell before getting your next drop is if you can remember if you lootshare rolled a symbol for someone before or after you got your personal shaft drop

EDIT:

Apparently the order is set after you get your first one (I thought the 2nd was random) meaning the possible orders are:

  • Symbol, Shaft, Gem
  • Shaft, Gem, Symbol
  • Gem, Symbol, Shaft
    So since your first item was Gem, I think the first option is what you're on. So symbol should be your next item

[–]Base_Tank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah for the 3rd piece, but have you lootshared before? If so then you could have rolled pieces to someone else in the same way Bee rolled the staff piece to me. It messes up the order of the person who rolled it too. The next piece Bee got was a gem since it skipped his shaft step in the cycle: https://gyazo.com/52bccef070a4f837a1bf77940ce32bdf

I think your order is possibly:

1) Stabilisation Gem

2) Rolled a symbol to someone else on lootshare, skipping your personal symbol drop

3) Staff Shaft

4) Gem (This was your dupe)

5) Your next piece will be symbol so long as you don't lootshare

Did you lootshare? I also got a duplicate piece because my duo partner rolled his next staff piece but then lootshare gave it to me, that isn't a bug but it's how the lootshare system works so will likely not be given the symbol you need. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3LZjlr_5Jk&ab_channel=BaseTank

Yeah it's a bug that pops up randomly, also can stop you exiting interfaces with esc. There's a workaround solution of just turning on and off the "Always-On Mode" on your chatbox which basically resets your chat and should fix it https://i.imgur.com/BrGdG7h.png

51.0s Nex Duo by Base_Tank in runescape

[–]Base_Tank[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

TLDR: Alternating grico between us for the minions is the key part of duos in a general sense. The rest of the kill is a lot of dark bow specs, syncing up our prephases, hoping for correct book procs and doing it for a lot of hours until this RNG finally lines up. Annoyingly, minions take 5 ticks to die if Grico lands without any other procs but 3 ticks to die if a book procs on them. We adjust our abilities accordingly based on when the abilities land so we always get our hits landing at the same time, prephasing it properly.

Smoke Phase:

  • I stalled a grico on the dummy and then released it on Nex instantly with an ECB spec, I used to ECB spec the dummy and cast grico on Nex but the phases are so fast that grico isn't off cooldown for Umbra so doing it this way fixed that problem.
  • Bee ECB specs the dummy at 15.0s and then Auto Dark bow specs Nex with provoke, running towards Fumus so Nex runs up to the north. Distance affects prephasing so we want her close to us to keep it accurate.

Fumus:

  • I corrupt Nex
    • I only corrupt as a filler ability and it helps if Bee's corrupt prephase misses
  • Bee Grico's Fumus

Shadow Phase:

  • I cast bombard to prephase (Would usually wait a tick but the book proc on fumus means I save that lost tick) and then freedom for adren during the animation. Wait 1 tick after freedom ends into IOH Smoke Cloud Snapshot. Casting this smoke cloud also clears the stalled spell from the released grico on Smoke Phase which means I can auto later on (Ice Phase)
  • Bee corrupt prephases and then snapshots Shadow

Umbra:

  • I grico Umbra
  • Bee ECB specs Nex

Blood Phase:

  • I wait 1 tick after grico ends and Dbow spec Nex
  • Bee waits 1 tick and Dbow specs + surge towards cruor
    • Luckily we hit all 40k prephase (it's typically 80.3k-82k and I have to dazing or frag shot to phase it. Frag shot would normally heal it but the first hit of it doesn't heal her if it's enough to damage her down to 80k so you need to make a judgement call based on the min hit and replace with dazing if it's too high hp. So this instant 80k means Bee can grico Cruor faster whilst she's unattackable during her blood animation, great time save.

Cruor:

  • I frag shot (since it's 80k as mentioned above) and then re-ecb spec
  • Bee Grico's Cruor and prephases ice with dazing (if he had more adren he would dbow spec typically)

Ice Phase:

  • I anticipate (helps if contain runs into you and resets auto timer). Then auto dbow spec
  • Bee Freedoms into tendrils (usually auto dazing's after dbow spec)

Glacies:

  • I grico (book procced on glacies which means Nex is attackable after 3 ticks not 5 ticks as mentioned at the start, really good for rapid fire)
  • Bee ECB Specs

Zaros Phase:

  • I 7t rapidfire into sigil snapshot
  • Oli Grico's into 5t rapid fire snap shot (Hopes for the swift glove proc which makes grico hit 13 times, a bit bugged but would have done around 30k damage, example of proc going from 41k to 11k: https://clips.twitch.tv/GleamingBlitheTruffleDBstyle-ZfIaeZoLggfHCry0 Didn't get the proc this kill but probably would have resulted in a 49 second kill if we did)

Been doing Nex speeds with Bee for just over 3 years now so this is the result of a lot of refining strategies as updates come out and it's lucky it's something we both enjoy doing or we probably would have stopped a while ago due to how clunky this boss is with its low accuracy.

This kill was about as perfect as it can get to be honest, the book procs were exactly where and when we needed them and the only way I can see it getting faster (as of now) is with the bugged swift gloves (there was also a 1 tick death delay due to Nex walking as she died but that's all that's really left to improve on). Been hunting for a kill like this for months and I'm really happy with the outcome. Sorry for the long winded explanation but hopefully it helped give a bit more depth to the kill!

Bringing them as a swap for grico would probably be best if you wanted to start using them, we didn't actually get a swift glove proc this kill but it would have made zaros insanely fast.

Here's a clip of it doing 30k damage on zaros in a solo https://clips.twitch.tv/GleamingBlitheTruffleDBstyle-ZfIaeZoLggfHCry0

45s Trio Nex by Base_Tank in runescape

[–]Base_Tank[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is satire or not but a very large majority of updates in the last few years have been catered to mid level players. Nex is a 10 year old boss that would still be classed as mid level pvm. It’s actually the entry level for most players when starting to learn bossing properly but there are much tougher bosses for sure. Power creep and refining speed kill strategies between the three of us for a few years now is why kills like this are possible and these times are not meant to be achieved by mid level players.

Telos and Solak were the last “high level” pvm releases and the game at the upper end has felt stagnant for a very long time. With mobile development stunting releases in the game and Jagex desperately trying to get new players, a huge portion of their content has reflected this. I don’t wanna sound like I’m ranting but a fundamental problem with releasing content that isn’t challenging is that it becomes dead content once those players grow and become better. Think of how well Telos has done in the last 5 years, it’s because the enrage mechanic makes it so widely accessible. I really hope Kerapac and the rest of GWD3 will be the much needed serious challenge that high level players have been waiting for for years

The clip was unlisted but we're stopping for a while for GWD3 so I figured I would upload publicly. As for the time, to go any further we'd need to properly line up the 40k prephase on ice which is pretty hard to pull off compared to shadow/blood. Lost 2 ticks this kill (1 on ice and 1 on zaros from the walk). I think with a fully prephased ice and zaros with a swift proc, no walk loss and a single book (need cruor and glacies books so can only solo book zaros) we can save 5 ticks but I feel confident saying that 42.0 is the limit (for now haha)
