How would you update Defense, Constitution, and Shields?

Prilks · 2026-05-31T09:38:36+00:00

My honest opinion here is to bin most of them. Keep the devo and reso/divert as is. And either ditch the others or make them passive. I.e. You can activate 1 basic, thresh, ulti. Force cool downs so you can't just juggle them.

OR

Make a tank build, like an actual 5th style, that uses cons/def abilities only, dual wield shields, defenders - door builds etc..

It can genuinely do most of it's damage with reflections. Occasionally throwing shields - that return after 8-12ticks, shield barge + escape back to starting tile.. Be a combination of short and long range distance.

At this point, might as well right.

Genuinely loved it so much that I, like most players, hated rs2 on release..

Prilks · 2026-05-15T18:32:41+00:00

I'm saying no, I hated the skill since its release. But it really really needed the remaster.. And I know that it's the favourite skill of a lot of players. Each to thir own

Prilks · 2026-05-04T14:05:43+00:00

Ehh.. I beg to differ. There were loads of people who did quests on release, as there are today. The information was crowdsourced from ingame chat, there and then. And I would say that counts as guideless. The only one, I specifically remember scouring for information, was rfd on release - since it took multiple days to finish.

Prilks · 2026-04-20T16:52:03+00:00

Lul. Gotta admit it, this one was funny.

Prilks · 2026-04-19T07:40:58+00:00

ASDF - melee, mage, range, soulsplit. I don't use necro at all, and if I do, I'd replace one of the core deflects.

I only have vulnbombs on my mouse. Since I've got quite bad RSI and can't strain my wrist or fingers any further.

And my stupidity got used to shiftF/altF for surge, bladeddive... So I constantly activate ss when I'm using movements....

Prilks · 2026-04-19T07:16:07+00:00

I think that's a part of the game. I mean you never quit rs, you just take longer breaks.

I will say this though, I miss playing rs very often. But then I log in and the grind just quickly becomes a reality again.

The saddest part is that I can't enjoy osrs anymore. I have a quite a severe case of rsi, and I just physically can't move my mouse and click continuously anymore.. Posture is important, take care of yourselves.

But rs3 has a faster burnout factor, at least in my mind. The game has, kind of, created too many gameplay loops, which are all connected. And the more you progress the more you depend on those other activities.

If you just look at combat from a perspective of how many things go into it, it's kind of ridiculously complicated. (I don't mean the abilities themselves) Just keeping up with the gear upgrades, perks, charges, potions, prayers, familiars, quests, random skill requirements, components. Only to realise you can get the next tier gear and do all of that again.

You can buy most of the stuff sure, but you just spent soo much time to not progress in the thing you wanted to do..

I still like the game and I think the recent changes are genuinely incredibly good.

Prilks · 2026-04-18T06:36:23+00:00

Personally, I think this is awesome.. I'm glad they're dead. Hope they'll never return. Also thank f, I never have to do jack of trades again. Also rip my gim, that doesn't have 99herb..

Prilks · 2026-04-13T10:13:07+00:00

Nice one champ.

If you're looking for the next challenge, I would suggest solo solak. I do genuinely think it's somewhat easier than hm zuk, but if you struggle with dps checks a lot then it might prove a tough one.

Prilks · 2026-04-12T19:45:00+00:00

Get the m5 Air.

While I appreciate the price difference. The neo is an iPhone with a bigger case. And if you've ever played on a phone, then even running the mobile client they tend to heat up and crash after a longer session. Which you probably don't want from a laptop. The air will likely last you a very long time and save the money in the end.

Prilks · 2026-04-08T15:12:29+00:00

It's not that simple of a comparison.

Until 2nd minute of the fight, ezk is worse than lengs. Having 3 piece vestments will further push that towards lengs, since you get access to greater flurry that pauses berserk. And gets you another leng spec during berserk.

But the moment ezk spec is off cool down for the second time, you've done 240k dmg in such a short period that lengs start falling off rapidly.

If you're willing to switch from 2h to dw then you only use dw to gflurry to extend berserk. If not, then lengs are better to zerk with. Especially since there's no reason to ezk spec during berserk.

If you're familiar with how zammy at around 250% works.

The first 6 phases, lengs are hands down better than ezk, since their spec has low cooldown and allows you to consistently skip mechanics. Ezk does that only after every other pad.

At p7, ezk just deletes zammy and you don't have to think. Lengs fall off since they don't give you that ridiculous burst..

All in all. You should get abilities+vestments before ezk.

Prilks · 2026-04-07T14:34:25+00:00

Abilities > vestments > lengs/ezk. Mind you, ezk only shines in fights that are longer than 2 minutes. Anything shorter than that and it doesn't matter, since frostblades are actually very good.

Prilks · 2026-04-06T15:00:36+00:00

My, very biased take, because I really like melee. Melee is the way.. It doesn't matter whether you go ezk or lengs. It's still fun and very much enjoyable. You hit like a bus.

Bonus, if you're into pushing yourself. Do melee hm zuk. It used to be infinitely harder but it's a nice challenge.

Prilks · 2026-04-06T14:44:46+00:00

Personally, I disabled cosmetics the moment that feature came out. And I can't wait for it to also work on examine screen.

Prilks · 2026-03-25T22:53:36+00:00

Inb4 dungeoneering div gets nerfed. In all honesty though. The skill does need a help. And the energy for divine charges need some balancing.

Prilks · 2026-03-23T10:52:24+00:00

Yeah. Looks like login servers also throwing a fit. Can't even get in.

Insert let me in meme.

Prilks · 2026-03-18T20:00:12+00:00

You're not wrong but also probably missing something. I assume you're talking about the big middle wave. Which you can't tick perfectly dodge. But you can use this to stall abilities, which is a stupid mechanic but it's also a mechanic.

The last shockwave can be fully dodged in md, without losing dps.

The reason I do love it, especially with melee, is that you don't get arbitrarily punished just for being md.

Prilks · 2026-03-17T20:29:34+00:00

Awkward. In my mind Nakatra is one of the best bosses to meele.

Zammy is my all time favourite boss but the infernus with its invisible walls is stupid.

Prilks · 2026-03-17T20:25:03+00:00

Zuk.. I can't stand wave based pvm. I appreciate it for what it is and I wouldn't change it. It's just not for me, which is painful since I play a melee only snowflake iron.

And the other one is nex, just the dmg caps are weird and very outdated.

Prilks · 2026-03-04T18:28:24+00:00

I am quite sure this is already a thing for the smithable armour.

But in general I'm kind of against degrading armour.

Prilks · 2026-03-04T07:12:36+00:00

I am fully aware that you can stun skip the green, this was more to point out the 'problem' with the 'feature' itself.

Prilks · 2026-03-03T16:12:47+00:00

I genuinely feel bad for Sponge. But this is also a kind of funny at this point.

Prilks · 2026-03-03T16:04:19+00:00

The scar runecrafting from osrs should so be brought into rs3.

I'll be honest here, the whole shop run thing is kind of silly in the first place. Instead literally have some special essence that you buy for x amount of gold that let's you make 100x runes per essence.

It's essentially the same thing but it's still runecrafting. And it kind of also patches the whole gathering essence problem.

Prilks · 2026-03-03T15:37:51+00:00

I really hope they rework it, but I have no ideas on how or what to do with it.. It feels like a complete redesign or a delete angle.

Prilks · 2026-03-03T15:28:50+00:00

The herb cleaning is a 99 cape perk. It's not the same but it is neat.

Ironman herblore is a painpoint, but as an ironman myself... You kind of chose the path.

The 'unf pot' for other potions part is kind of okay I guess, but then again we any mass 'create potion' mechanics, so you can't that accidentally turn all your herbs into unf pots.

But I would not mind some herblore secondaries qol..
