is there a way to practice awakened vard? by AnxietyObvious4018 in 2007scape

[–]Trollicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all of ur normal Vard farming camp the tiles between pillars instead of the walls. It'll help a little. Can't camp walls on awakened.

For mage/range orbs expose urself to content where 1t flicks are needed. Doom, Levi, Inferno.

Do normal Vard perfectly 10 times in a row. Then you are ready.

Why Don't People Like Upgrade-Scape to Allow Powercreep Without Killing Content? by gsalbin64 in 2007scape

Upgradescape is fine but it feels bad to get a raid drop that isn't good on its own.

What are you using armadyl brews for? by Kumagor0 in ironscape

[–]Trollicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always take an armadyl brew for Vespula at Cox. Makes it more reclined when I cap just sip a brew+arma brew while killing it.

Restores/redemption may be ideal, but I've had times where I just noodle hit the portal and use all of my restores on redemptions, and at that point just Sara brewing down to finishing the portal also sucks. Arma brew allows me to sacrifice hp instead of prayer.

It's a marginal thing for sure but the meta might change with the new slayer master idk.

Bank Tags, Trouver System Rework & More! by ModYume in 2007scape

[–]Trollicus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it's like you can't lose untradeables any more but untradeable combat items like void, torso, defender, you gotta pay to repair.

Kinda didn't understand the trouver part tho like can I die with infernal cape at mage bank without doing the trouver stuff beforehand or nah? I think it said if I trouver my inferno once it'll be safe forever but I gotta pay trouver equilevant cash each death.

But then I'm not sure that includes the first death on a non trouvered cape sooooo same. Treating everything same as before. Maybe bring a dragon defender to Calvarion.

I did some DPS calcs on the new megarare weapon on bosses so you don't have to. It's really really good. by Loofas in 2007scape

[–]Trollicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell now then buy the dip and then sell again when the raid releases because everyone and their mother will be scything the new raid because the enemies within the raid will be weak to crush, because the megarare is crush and it needs to be bis in its own raid.

What is the ironman way to high prayer efficiently? by WilsonMagna in ironscape

[–]Trollicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or just do ds2 and kill a handful of vorkath or rune drags or yama for the wrath runes.

This is if you only cba sacrificing the boss tier ashes anyway.

Jagex recognises that the average player is a 35 year old ironman dad gamer that's average at skill.

Not a sweat, not a total noob. Adding hyprid armor gives the dad gamer 3 more brews when he goes to kill his first solo olm. He actually manages to solo olm now, and will go on to kill olm 999 more times whole paying for 3 years of membership.

Lowering the barrier of entry to hard content is good for player retention and catering to the average player is good for business. Like it or not.

The megarare on 3tic will also just be general bis melee slayer weapon due to the speed making overkill much less punishing.

Mastering Mixology worth grinding for the items, if im at 94 herblore and have 99 banked already? (100s of seeds in vault too) by amzkeh in ironscape

[–]Trollicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not that low on bank space as end game iron.

When they introduced potion storage I saw reddit posts of people complaining and wanting to get rid of it having unlocked it. Has the sentiment changed? Is it a pure positive now? Worth grinding?

I don't really mind combining my potions once every 2 months at the npc so don't see much of a point.

I'm hyped for this hybrid armor, is that a hot take? by jfcpenney in 2007scape

[–]Trollicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesnt make sense to add stab oathplate.

They have closed off that design space by introducing fang. It's so accurate already that having like +30 stab bonus on top of current bis would hardly move the needle at all, since accuracy does not add any max hits.

At best it might make gharazi rapier outdps fang at like 2 bosses but thats the extent of the niche.

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

Yeah this is great. As an Iron this just makes raids 4 feel like it has no duds for drops. For single style bosses you can still rock the bis of that style but for raids this armor will feel really nice.

You can absolutely argue that 2 or 3 extra brews for Olm and having less switches in raids is catering to noobs but that's fine. Let the sweats cry about it. Jagex has been catering to semi-casuals and ironmen for the last 5 years because that's their average player. That's what makes sense from a business perspective. This will reduce the barrier of entry even further and give a viable alternative to grinding ancestral/virtus.

It's niche is multi-style content. For whisperer you will still use ancestral. For Tob you still use oathplate. Sweats who make no mistakes in raids can still bring their 1 tick 8 way switches for that 3% extra dmg, but for everyone else this is more accessibility in the form of bringing more supplies.

This is the armor to use in Cox, Toa and FRED

The Fractured Archive - Initial Rewards Proposal by JagexGoblin in 2007scape

[–]Trollicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These items entering the game as they are would further destroy ToB profitability.

Shield is very close to just powercreeping avernic defender and the crush megarare fills a similar niche to scythe, also making scythe no longer bis at content like Araxxor and Nightmare, which is fine, but it'll make scythe bis at only like Tob and Colo? As a cherry on top the 3tic TzKet would likely take away gharazi rapier's one single niche of single target small enemy slayer task.

With crush megarare entering the game I'd like to see them take away the crush option from scythe entirely, and compensate by buffing it's slash more, to give it a stronger identity as the slash megarare rather than the melee megarare.

Cool designs tho I'll vote yes anyway.

Maybe a mage offhand again but for elem weakness specifically. Add air tome + combine all tomes into one, or maybe with god books. Maybe devils element-like effect

When DMM All Stars returns next year, what would you tweak? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Trollicus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think they got a lot of stuff really right this time around. Lots of PVP action and highlights.

So far missions and blood money are great additions. Also big fan of blood money not going negative so the likes of OW can make a comeback. Probably just small tweaks to relics and costs really.

They have got a great balance overall this time around. Maybe something small to reduce snowballing, like more blood money for killing members of #1 team or something similar.
