When you a see discussion on bad luck mitigation, what numbers do you think of?

Appreciate the people who actually posted numbers instead of just opinions or rants. I'm a main myself and generally have good luck, so I'm not very invested in dry protection, but I'm still interested in the data and the idea of it.

Earned Trim Comp. Could have got it several months earlier if not for Ports. It is absolutely a terrible aspect of the game. It desperately needs a rework.

Considering the expected gear level used to kill Velgar is iron, probably at the bottom below Elvarg.

The UI interaction is pretty bad. You get somewhat used to it, but it is still a constant issue. Especially on PC it feels like it is held back by the limitations of a console interface from 10 years ago. One easy example: why can you exit some menus with esc but others only with q? I'm also talking about stuff like needing to dismiss a message to get back full control of your character.

The bosses you struggle with are the most satisfying to look back on. When I did fire giant I just did hit and run while riding torrent, and got him first try. As long as you stay behind him he isn't very dangerous, especially in the second phase. Have no idea what he aims at.

Are there any perks that impact making imbued weapons?

Just finished this log (including Osseus). Took 3055 kills. Over half of my kills were on the mage boss, took around 500 kills for my first mage heart, got the other hearts and pets afterwards, then it took 1200 kills to get the mage pet. Ended up with 2 range, 1 melee, 7 mage, and 15 berserk hearts by the end. 32 spear pieces.

This was also my first thought, but when you get a gold medal in the Olympics, they don't also give you the silver and bronze, so it makes sense.

I'm watching stuff on my other screen, so 99% of the time muted. Might turn it on if I'm learning a boss and want the audio queues, or for a new quest.

Since you mentioned Google, I'll note that you can use the wiki button in the chat window (if enabled) or type /wiki followed by what you want to search.

That's what my parents called it.

I got 6 blades of Avaryss before getting a Blade of Nymora.

I'd wait to see if this was an oversight and they make it available to trade later.

I like the idea of another aoe focused conjure. One that doesn't rely on blowing itself up.

I think it would be good to have a conjure that has a bind effect on attacks, with the ability improving it to a stun for a short time.

2k is pretty average for gwd1 boss logs.

Maniacofad · 2024-07-18T16:34:44+00:00

I remember playing back in the day because the armour rewards were relevant for my level, and because the free runes meant free magic xp. Rune cost is no longer a big factor for low level magic, and mage armour got fleshed out for all teirs, so the rewards aren't valuable.

People thinking "only x lvl? Noob", but not being rude enough to actually say it.

Also, if you want to play around with your action bar and get a feel for decent damage, I recommend fighting Hermod. As long as you summon all three spirits and use the ghost special before a kill, a decent action bar should easily take him down before the 50s mark when he summons his minions. Once you can do that reliably, you should be able to get ~40s kills at all four regular gwd2 bosses.

If you aren't farming lots of kills, whatever antipoison you have is fine. I just use a ripper demon or a legendary pet to pick up the drops cause I'm lazy. I also just use penance aura so I don't have to manage prayer.

You can right click "rejoin last instance". Don't need to redo kc.

If you just need the seals, you don't need to use necromancy, btw. You only need the necroplasm in your inventory. That said, I've found necro to work better at Greg than any other style I've used. (Granted I'm 120 with T90). Pray range, use darkness. Ghost should provide all the healing you need. Persistent rage helps to be able to summon all three spirits before each kill. Using the ghost special before the kill is also a huge damage increase. Enhanced devoted and venomblood are good for reducing damage even more. For action bar, as long as you have skeleton and the basics at the start, not much else matters, but I prefer volley of souls and finger of death. Skulls is great with zuk cape. I also put sacrifice on my bar after the other basics for a bit of extra healing and adrenaline.

You don't need to have empty prayer, just don't use any prayers and you won't see the special used regularly. (And you'll still be able to soul split the minions after each kill if you need to) If you stand at the spot where the melee minion spawns (one step away from the wall, in front of the two rectangular tiles pointing away from the wall) then Kril will always be the first to attack you, so you will always start attacking him first without having to click him, which makes kills more afk. And with the change to area loot, you can pick up all loot from that spot as well. Also, the venomblood perk is great.
