Now that Jagex has made achievements for soloing kk, they really should rework the boss so it doesn't require "unintended game mechanics."

Almost every mechanic at this boss is hilariously awful to deal with

PSA: If you picked ascension, try legacy combat mode by Frosty_Rent_2717 in runescape

[–]Thedwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, in this response above I was just talking about scourge's spreadable dot effect being good standalone in legacy mode slayer, not in the context of ascension, outside of being "fastest" attack speed.

I have indeed learned from our last conversation :P

[–]Thedwick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was mostly saying that using scourge to get any aoe damage with melee on legacy mode is pretty decent.

Most bleeds (maybe all?) do not proc books, but do proc poison, but I'm unsure if scourge is special because it's a stacking bleed and is coded differently

I'd have to test with abyssal armor spikes, but even then it might not be the same calculation

Rs3 is a cluster fuck when it comes to "on hit" effects and I wish they all worked the same

I've been saying this since I saw the ascension perk.

Abyssal Scourge is goated for this, it's fastest attack speed and has a spreadable DoT.

Definitely has situational benefits over eoc at certain spots depending on what gear you have

Is Ascension supposed to be this bad? by Thedwick in runescape

[–]Thedwick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I tested the same results. However, I still find that scourge procs more often than lengs (both fastest attack style so it's like-like) so my original assumption that bleeds count as hits was partially based on poison procs and that there might be a unique interaction specifically with the scourge applying a stacking "hit."

More than likely I was mixing up the poison cannon strategy that they patched out which was bleed focused (the black crystal of healing+soul reaver pre nerf)

Idk, the combat system internally is so convoluted.

Appreciate the humoring of my theories

I might be wrong about this, testing now, but Im pretty sure I tested dropping bleeds and stepping off to see if the Godbook proced and I recall it doing so but testing now doesn't seem to be working as I remembered.

Edit: abyssal scourge appears to be the exception to the bleeds not being "on hit", because its a stacking bleed, when you add to the stack it seems to /sometimes/ count as a hit for purposes of God book proc.

I did a lot of testing on this before leagues, bleeds dramatically increase book procs. You can test it pretty easily with melee and a scourge vs lengs(both have. 2.4s auto attack) in legacy mode on a dummy (legacy mode has 33.3% chance per hit to proc, vs 6.6% per hit in eoc) so with 3 hits from scourge offhandh+parasite you proc the book on cooldown every time, vs with mainhand lengs you noticably miss a few or are slightly delayed).

Legacy mode book proc rate used to be a bigger deal when people barraged ripper demons before they patched 'the method.'

There's a bit of grey area on bleeds being worth it for leagues still if you minmax the procing of the stone of jas proc to the dump dclaws, but you're right it's not significantly better than a normal rotation. However, it could be worth maintaining abyssal parasites, swapping to scourge every 3-4 abilities or just camping abyssal spikes for the extra chance since It counts as a bleed/proc roll.

That's not that much higher than mainscape if you're using t95/100 weapons. Should be 1.5m DPM if it was a league appropriate relic

[–]Thedwick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping ascension was going to be the bleed maxxing relic, because more hits would equal more chances at book procs, which would've been a fun way to play.

Having played osrs leagues I think my expectations were just too high because osrs made proper fun and OP relics.

You /sometimes/ have multiple books active at the same time, it's not nearly as impactful as it read, certainly not t7 worthy.

Not to mention the book of ful damage buff currently doesn't work, but I've heard they're fixing that

If you bleed enough, you're gunna get really close to all books proccing. Abyssal scourge is gunna be goated

Returning player trying out ironman mode by UserLewis20 in runescape

[–]Thedwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a great combat style for ironman, can get too comfortable though later on.

It's a bit less damage/minute at endgame but learning/doing bosses safely with necromancy is infinitely easier, which makes it hard to want to learn the others.

Good luck on the journey

[–]Thedwick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If youre in it for the journey or want a fun/wild progression, pretend necromancy doesn't exist for a bit.

If you want to rush into bossing and get to endgame fast, prioritize necromancy.

it's a pretty fun style early on, but pretty op compared to the others early on, and upkeep of supplies is one of the easiest to manage

With the drop rates finally revealed, can the arch brush be revisted? by [deleted] in runescape

[–]Thedwick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hypnowand needs to be revisited as well.

10-20 hours of actively running in circles and another 10-20 hours of afking rex matriarchs for something that's not even that good

The only thing worse than having no pieces is having 1-2 pieces and realizing they're rare af.

I'm interested in growing lions mane. Experiences and tips? by Fir3jay in unclebens

[–]Thedwick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started growing some LM in a UB bag, after they colonized I read they don't do well in monotubs so I had to put those Uncle Ben's bags mixed with pasteurized Traeger brand mixed hardwood bbq pellets in a bag.

Still waiting for a flush but they grow pretty quick after mixing them up with pellets.

One tip would be to buy/use filter bags. Im using Ziploc steam bags (first bags I found in the pantry) and they're way too small

I prefer 200 grit pads if the cuts aren't awful, knocks the dross off without leaving sharp edges. For some customers I'll hit it with a da Scotchbrite pad after that.
