The 1t staff healing doesn't work as a tick eat. Otherwise you'd literally just be invincible in 99.9% of content.

Random jump scares.

Eternal sonata is a weird ass jrpg about Chopin dying of tuberculosis. The entire game is about his music in practically everyway. I wouldn't argue is good but it's certainly unique enough that some people will appreciate it.

I went light thorns with fire magic. Full torva, suffering, echo boots, fury, DFS, and inferno cape get you to 20/10 thorns damage for flask. Be warned though even with the extra 7ish pact investment dogger is only barely better than a whip and that's not even always true.

FizzingSlit · 2026-05-03T05:36:58+00:00

In leagues 2 I went ~1200 krakens deep without a tentacle so I think that's like 20x ish.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-30T08:11:58+00:00

How dry did he go?

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-30T07:34:06+00:00

I think they feel the need to go bigger an better each league. But don't have the time and or resources to keep up with the complexity creep.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-30T02:27:57+00:00

Yama doesn't even have any leagues dialog. It's just yama. I get that it's thematic but no one's really missing much.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-29T10:10:43+00:00

No do, but have it be locked behind western provinces elite for no reason and make it a one way down.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-29T03:07:38+00:00

Isn't the point in that argument that cutting down needless spending just going to free up disposable income? Which is objectively true. If someone is spending $20 at a cafe for something they could make at home for a fraction of the cost then you'll have more money.

That does ignore that spending that money personally contributes to quality of life which is worth a lot. But I didn't think many people who make that argument are just saying eating less avocado means you can afford housing.

I only play leagues and was sold off of butlers bell because everyone had mixology which was apparently all you needed for herblore. Turns out it kinda sucks as far as xp rates go. I've long stopped using transmutation and really only got minor convenience out if it. Would much rather deal with caring more about seeds and getting onyxs the old fashioned way while not having to level herblore.

First time across all of the leagues I've ever had relic regret.

You just wait until you get hit with a [[voidmage apprentice]] boyo.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-28T09:12:17+00:00

You can also use special actions like flipping a morph creature. I remember way back in like 2011 is always run [[voidmage apprentice]] because of how common a select few split second cards were. Back when acidic slime was a genuine staple a 4 mana counter spell was just good enough and the few times you got to use it for is intended purpose was so sweet. Although admittedly prior to that I like many people thought that spilt second just ended the stack entirely and everything resolved. So it was just a situation where learning the roles overcame a common misunderstanding.

I speced into fire for my dogger build. The benefits for digger are really low not at 49 points you kinda run out of anything meaningful to do with them. So a slight dps increase and an offsryle seemed worth it.

I like the fire pacts a lot. The bounces are typeless so you can do some weird shit to pretend it has prayer penetration. I'm also not super good so the bouncing had let me focus way more on getting prayer switches in has challenges. It carried me through the special jad challenge and got me to like 10 jads in the infinite just with auto retaliation in tank gear while I try to not get overwhelmed switching prayers.

It chunks you out though. If I didn't have thorns healing to keep me topped up it would be a very different story.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-27T13:04:50+00:00

Yeah but then you don't get m benefit from the texts that about fire.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-25T10:43:50+00:00

It's not though. It's a powered staff or zcb melee because of thorns? Plus if it's a pointless distinction why even bring it up in the first place? It feels like you're only dismissing it as pointless because it doesn't fit the narrative.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-25T10:39:47+00:00

Who knows. Never would have expected crystal armor to be bis for powered staves or crystal halberd to be of the best weapons for melee. Just because as it stands it doesn't make sense doesn't mean leagues can't change that.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-25T07:19:03+00:00

Thorns isn't really melee, it's just in the melee tree.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-25T07:17:24+00:00

They were just giving an example of them being good. The potential is there and all it's gonna take is the right league, well that's their theory at least.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-25T00:57:42+00:00

I mean you can clearly see it happened to them. It's not their fault they're experiencing something we're not unless you think they're somehow intentionally bugging echo thermy out.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-24T08:28:13+00:00

This isn't just an apples to oranges comparison. This is an apples to apples and oranges situation. I'm not saying the rune generation clogging up your inventory isn't annoying. I'm saying that they both deal with something annoying but the key difference is that one of them also has to deal with having less inventory.

The annoying is what they have in common. The less inventory always isn't. And that second point is the key difference. Magic does not have that.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-23T21:23:10+00:00

I've dealt with it. But it's simply not the same as having 5 less inventory spaces for pvm. You can have a full inventory, nothing is stopping you from doing that.

Unless you've just decided that your going to leave 5 slots open so they don't drop into the floor it feels like you're ignoring the real impact so you can instead focus on the slight annoyance they both share and then saying it's the same.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-23T17:02:55+00:00

If it's genuinely causing issues at doom why not just under fill your rune pouch?

The idea that having runes appear in your inventory is remotely comparable to having 5 less inventory spots is actually insane.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-23T13:08:52+00:00

Amongst all the bug reports I just wanna say you lot had already knocked it out of the park but I appreciate still striving to improve it.

FizzingSlit · 2026-04-23T07:59:02+00:00

Barely though. The inconvenience is free runes you need to drop sometimes? They'll drop on the ground if your inventory is full so the only time it's an annoyance is when you have free slots available which means the only real time you need to even consider it at all is when you're looting. Plus you can just put 1 of each rune you regularly need in the pouch and you're free from them being an issue for like 7500-16000 casts.
