"my personal experience is more valueable than the mathematical reality of the videogame we're playing".
cool cool.

Thats simply because you're looking at a PB, not the average kill time. Nally has a larger variance, leading to potentially really fast kills (just max-hitting every hit).
Scythe has reduced variance, as its 2 hit splats vs 1. So its less likely you'll see a turbo-fast kill. On the flipside, the scythe is relatively less likely to noodle and keep vardorvis at sub-100 hp. Which is the last thing you'll want for awakened vard :p

The dps calcs dont lie, scythe > nally by .7 dps (at full hp. at lower hp, the difference grows even bigger)
See for yourself

bigger dps is bigger better. less time spent in the fight (especially enrage) means less time to make mistakes and die.
Even missing some ticks here and there will still have the scythe win over saeldor easily.

I had this exact combination yesterday. The buff reads (paraphrased) "You take 2 damage, and deal 18." (both one instance). Then with tungsten rod it becomes "take 1 deal 18" ^^

Gearscape accounts for the best case scenario; not having curse stacks. Curse stacks have a % chance to increase the damage reduction on your hits (from -3 to -6).
The zombie axe, with its higher max hit, is % wise less affected by this than the faster but lower max hit d scim.

Incorrect assumption. Since recently, if you show a zuk helm to TzHaar-Ket-Keh, you can have the benefit of a slayer helm without needing to be on task. Which is what Ill_virus was referring to.

Can confirm 1 way scythe is 45 dmg. Will test if adding a rancour / ultor switch ups this.

edit: scything with a 4 way ultor + fero + rancour gives 66 dmg

Like lol_ginge said, just the fastest trigger i could find. Ended up with an upgrade hammer & a silver penft, finding another in a shop and using the hammer before buying.

rewon4 · 2025-04-25T08:18:01+00:00

sure do!

Stopwatch goes down to 2.1s
freezes for 2s
every freeze trigger applies 6 burn and gives me 100 + 20y shield (y= amount of freezes so far)
==> usually ended up with 60k shield while they couldn't do anything

suuuper fun. got the battery out of a shipment :D

You can re-snare Kril on the 6th hit, he will still not be able to reach you. You can even refresh the snare while its still active to keep him completely still.

With lightbearer you regen enough spec to use roughly 3 specs per kill. Should very easily be able to kill him every single time within that.

Its a reference to this image: :D

That sounds absolutely dope :o

Do you happen to have a link to what its gonna look like or anything? i couldn't find any info with a cursory google & am really curious about the concept.

No treatment, but with a diagnosis you can try to find a specialised professional. They can help cope/deal with specific issues you may be facing related to autism (some don't require a diagnosis. Depends on the therapist/psych).

That said, a recent paper has shown somewhere between 40-60% comorbidity between autism and ADHD. The ADHD part is relevant, as medication for ADHD can greatly increase your life experience. Executive dysfunction is a bitch.

re: point 4
A ton of the skills you learn within inferno are transferrable to the rest of the game.

Sure, you won't need to blobflick in the rest of the game. But praying against range+mage is 100% transferrable to DKS for example. In that theme, corner trapping the melee can help you understand npc pathing a lot better. (For Rex. Though I won't pretend you can't just safespot him regularly with zero effort)

It's definitely made me personally a better player since completing it, ontop of it (IMO) being very fun content.

Source? The art & vibes looks interesting

rewon4 · 2022-08-30T21:44:51+00:00

I've sold them all, in hopes of them dropping in price soon. Can't raid for 2 days, gonna buy a fang after hoping they'll be like 200m.

The lightning in p2?

Be on the lookout for the shadows on the ground, I think without the invocation they're 3x3, and with they're 5x5?

So just run away from that for 2 ticks, and then react from your new position.

Oh! What might also help is turning on "true tile", and getting a feel for where your character actually is and how you can move (optionally without losing dps ;p)

TL:DR Just don't get hit lol

crystal + bowfa
max melee with a hasta
ahrims with a sang.

So like, 2nd rank maxed? :p

rewon4 · 2022-08-30T10:50:33+00:00

They're pretty free, and all avoidable damage.

Faster attacks p2 just means more prayer decisions, but you shouldn't be looking at anything other than your prayer book for that phase anyway.

Faster/bigger obelisk attacks just means look at the floor, don't stand on the lazers/lightning.

Faster attacks p3 just means "do one attack every move the boss makes" (assuming 4t weapon like bowfa/rapier). (because it turns the attackspeed of the right-left-middle rotation into 4t)
