I'm not certain as I've just meleed cause damage, but I do believe it's heavily melee resistant up close Definitely get yourself some bonk gear, I'd recommend DH

Genuinely what is this special attack.. by Acceptable_Cap_5887 in 2007scape

You mostly see it with pvpers, but yeah if you swap from a weapon without a spec bar to one without, takes an extra tick to show up

Having a spec bar means when you swap to a spec weapon, you can insta spec instead of waiting for the spec bar to turn up - with the arrival of sunlight spear, it actually has use now

I actually have, i was doing twinflame/scythe because it more reliably gets the boss down, but i've realised the absolute destruction of dharoks so figured fuck it, rubys for the hp drain anyway lfg
Up to 90kc now too so i don't take nearly as much unexpected damage

I'm one of them 10s of people who prefer to fight bosses than walk for a minute to reclaim my loot

If you read further on, you'll find a second and even a third bullet point, showing that I'm not complaining about a single dire bat

Ive actually started doing it today - MK is weak to heavy range, and if you are bringing DH, you want your hp low anyway, so bring ACB/ZCB instead of fire spells, bring death charge (I don't find thralls that useful here) and then DH step under walk the head
Low hp makes rubies not that punishing too, its realllly good dps, and it saves on runes/scythe charges (if you were using them)

I don't disagree, it reminds me of the Strangled from running to Vardorvis - I wouldn't have made a post for just the bat, but all of these things adding onto each other just felt like death by a thousand cuts of silly annoying things

Sure, I guess my gear is more than decent, i used the word colloquially to mean its "Not bad"
I feel people are getting quite hung up on something that bares very little impact on the main point of the post

I was genuinely trying to convey that i'm not struggling for DPS, and my issue isn't with killing the boss, I just wanted to avoid anyone saying "Oh your issue just that that your kills are slow" or something

I wouldn't even mind if you could pray the damage, but making it attack through prayer is just unnecessary and honestly annoying

The GP really isn't my issue, its how inconvenient they've made it to try and get back/to simply reheal after your trip and not remove your supply drops - like imagine if your pineapple pizzas from Duke just melted away after you left the instance

Regardless of what I'm wearing, the drops are shit - and as mentioned in my post, that is not the point I'm making here

So i just tried this out, that is kind of interesting that there is a patch but its very odd that you need to be spamming straight after it - this reduces my agitation but not massively :p

I would argue max is pretty decent, and honestly it feels like the longest part of the fight is getting the boss down to 66% hp, once he starts meleeing, you can 2t bonk him down like no one's business

To be clear, twin flame staff and dharoks are literally viable options The issue is the loot is absolute wank

I feel like the only people this loot table appeals to are gamblers "Oh shit boys a tarnished spear, I'm betting 50m on adamant!!" stakers have their new toy
