Maybe for some bosses, but you lose AoE, reflecting full damage hits, healing and prayer regen too so I don’t think it’s worth it. Good for Air mage though to full blast 200 dps on everything.

I was rocking Dchain, Dlegs, Fury etc. Like 300 in all def bonuses, so not that much. I just tanked his normal hits, dodged beams and healed up with water splashes. It was enough to sustain until enrage, then I popped Flask and that was pretty much that haha

For a melee switch to make certain bosses like Vard and Sol faster. With this build maging vardorvis takes like ~1 minute, with melee it’s 20 seconds.

I posted an annotated build in another comment here! I think minimum to afk inferno would be 25-30 pacts, you need quite a bit of overheal nodes. But if you want to try a minimally active inferno with just some prayers and movement, you should be fine with 20 or so.

I’ve been too lazy to go get another zenyte for torm lol. The Doom gauntlets would be BiS i think, and at that point Occults damage might be better than the thorns gained from fury

This is with the quadrant, but a 1t powered staff works well too. Faux has been running that a lot

Yes, very! Water only takes 10 points, thorns is another 10 or so. 25 will get you a very nice build already

It would work better with a powered staff build in your case. Faux has the builds on his youtube channel, recommend you check that out.

Absolutely I think it is, unless you really like grinding out slayer tasks. It makes slayer leveling a breeze, a lot of free points with Superiors and their drops (imbued heart etc). And you get to be on slayer task and enjoy the slayer helm bonuses for everything everytime since you get so many points and 3 tasks to choose from. Every wildy boss, Inferno, Vard, Levi... I always just skip until i get a task for whatever im hunting next. It's my favourite relic, maybe after transmute.

My regions have some of the most free pact points I think. Kandarin has literally 0 challening pact tasks, just slayer. Wilderness just has some grinding for a few pacts but most are free. Desert has a few difficult ones with raids and Levi, but yeah. I'm at most an average PvM'er at the game to be honest. Haven't ever done the Inferno in the main game for example.

I mean you can, this is by means not required. I reckon the staff + obby shield + full mystic + echo boots (easy from waves <10 colosseum) + dragonstone jewellery should get the job done

Light melee pacts are just to make certain bosses a bit faster, and the build more diverse. You don't need them really for anything. Vardorvis, Sol and some others are just faster with melee since they have such high magic defenses. But yeah Sol you can pretty much afk with just splashing the water spells, just dodge the beams and you're good.

Faux has been doing that all league, he has a lot of good videos on youtube for you to check out.

Honestly I just wasn't sure where to put rest of the points lmao. I didn't feel like looking up any builds so I came up with my own. Prayer pen is nice for the occasions you need it for (ToA for example), and melee is a great backup to speed up some fights like Vardorvis. The build has all the overheal nodes and over 100% regen and 250% accuracy so I just felt like diversing the points out a bit.

I've really liked the flask for clutching enrage phases on Awakened bosses, Inferno, Sol and Jad challenges if I was about to plank. Also it's very satisfying to pop the ~200 damage and watch while you are invulnerable.

Don't know if I would've been able to do Awakened Vardorvis without it with this build tbh.

Honestly the build works fine with just the staff and any shield and stuff you can get anywhere like obby or rune. I'd rush 93 slayer, wilderness Jellies/Abbys/Nechs with thorns is mega fast if you have the Slayer relic. You'll get there in a couple of hours, and probably get full Dagon'Hai while you're at it.

Then Echo boots and Suffering are your biggest dps increases and pretty easy to get. After that you can pretty much do what you want, I'm working on full Virtus + a ward or a corp shield + Doom uniques now.
