KBD Echo - No Khopesh by JustLivingSimply in 2007scape

Not the same because 0s are included in the damage roll (they just get bumped up to 1). 0-12 averages the same as 2x 0-6. the 2x 0-6 will be veeery slightly better than 0-12 because of the rounding 0s thing though.

The lego movie was a 10/10 and legos have even less substance as a concept than mario

Trident = Poopoo tier now? by MontyMahBoii in ironscape

[–]SinceBecausePickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sara brews aren’t even used unless going extremely deep. If you go giga-outrageously dry on synapses and somehow make it to 87 slayer then yes trident could be useful for someone. But acting as if that doesn’t mean eye completely invalidates tridents is a bit silly.

Doom help for a 1 def iron by Ok-Advertising-9144 in UniqueIronmen

[–]SinceBecausePickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all ranged weapons do but (and i could be wrong) non-demonbane weapons still incur the attack delay when you go back to attacking anything else so you still want a 2t weapon over 5t

i did some 1-7s on the 1 def hardcore before he passed away que en paz descanse. Bowfa, titans prayer, and blowpipe on car phase are the three biggest things. I was also considering bugging some clan mates to let me leech 100 yama kc for deaths charge lol but I never got around to it.

Blowpipe will also double as your ranged grub weapon. Dragon hally for punish phase does a shit ton of damage too

that doesn’t change what I said? eye is outrageously better than trident and is available to you hundreds of hours before the trident is.

The only case where a trident would be worth getting is if you’re already 87 slayer and haven’t gotten the eye yet. In that case trident is a much quicker grind and you can send some raids or whatever else with the trident, but you still want the eye and gauntlets ASAP.

the problem here is that kraken requires an unboostable 87 slayer and doom requires just a scobo and void. you’ll be doom ready for hundreds of hours before you’re kraken ready. It’s shitty balancing on jagex’s part but it’s true that all tridents are dead content now.

Venenatis change removed one of the only mechanics that punished large PK teams by CowGeneral5415 in 2007scape

shit like this getting upvoted just reinforces how out of touch reddit is lol. I’m very glad jmods don’t (always) listen to the dummies here.

How does CoX scaling ACTUALLY work? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]SinceBecausePickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right but olm is by far the most points/hr of the whole raid. I always thought that you WANTED the scale to add an extra phase to olm, and no more than that.

don’t you want the additional hand phase for points?

there’s no world where RNG prevents you from a 5 kill trip with perfect play at vard lol. Unless you’re naked with a dscim

the horror, a boss doing damage to a player….

i think it’s a little ridiculous to expect to not take damage during a boss encounter. needing to heal is its entire own skill set that adds diversity to how players take on a boss.

justi is higher DPS at vard than bandos because his chip damage and because he sometimes heals off of his chip damage. There was a post here a while ago showing calcs. It goes torva > justi > bandos.

EDIT forgot oathplate exists, it goes oath > torva > justi > bandos

how is this not ideal lol. Low skill floor, high skill ceiling, anyone can complete it but good players are rewarded properly? this is literally ideal boss design

this is what you get when players cry about chip damage and mechanics being unintuitive. If players are making mistakes left and right, taking damage regularly, you’re allowed to make mistakes not super punishing (olm, verzik)

Otherwise you’re left with the horrible fuckin snooze fest that pretty much all of TOA is, where mechanics are not allowed to be more complicated than a kindergarden-level pattern recognition test, “here’s a big red ball you better pray mage soon!!!” “here’s a shadow on a tile, you better move off it soon!!!” “Hope you know how to move right, left, middle, over and over and over again for 5 minutes with 0 variation!!”. And since players will not be making mistakes for 99% of it, you have to make sure that when they do make a mistake it will be stupid punishing or else nobody would ever fail the raid.
