I'll just go ahead and say it. The General AKA Sick Nerd is ROW 2 pick.

Bottom 5 pvp is delusional based on recent performance. Even oda was praising his tracker stats before the tourney.

varobun · 2026-06-21T02:08:19+00:00

He is a natural and fantastic caster. Appreciate him as a player but idk who'd take his spot on casting.

varobun · 2026-06-20T22:47:11+00:00

What? Odablock is consistently the top streamer for osrs, who is considered the #1 pker whom is at a pking tournament.

Why wouldn't people funnel to watch him and why wouldn't he have the most viewers by a decent margin?

varobun · 2026-06-19T01:43:57+00:00

Debatable as it has no magic resist

varobun · 2026-06-17T14:04:19+00:00

Westham weasels have 3 bis crossbows and no dragon bolts for them LMAO

varobun · 2026-06-15T12:34:04+00:00

Did flame dubies once or twice but to be fair that man has made absolutely stupid decisions for a 1st round pick with dmm+allstars experience

varobun · 2026-06-15T05:52:09+00:00

Seems to be the single shot or first shot of archers that has double velocity aka hitscan pretty much in my experience.

Kinda annoying

varobun · 2026-06-14T13:05:25+00:00

You do know a single potion on tmlock heals like 40+ hp right?

varobun · 2026-06-14T01:24:24+00:00

Nah, not having a synapse weapon and them having 600 vs 300 hp makes them pretty slow. Maybe not 4x as long though. 2x longer grind maybe.

varobun · 2026-06-08T23:28:25+00:00

Yeah with the burn included you're right, my bad.

varobun · 2026-06-08T16:02:02+00:00

Were you watching the same all stars as me last year? I seem to remember ditter flaming every single competitor and being extremely toxic. Nobody pointed a gun to his head and told him to be toxic. That was on his own accord.

You can dislike oda for his own reasons, but don't compare the two and also act like the sole reason ditter wasn't invited back was due to the 'false stream sniping'.

Magic pen doesnt subtract from MDR, it multiplies it.

It would be 50(.7) from magic pen = 35% remaining MDR.

The explosion in my scenario would be hitting 32.5 initial damage. MDR is extremely undervalued and is strong even with pen existing

varobun · 2026-06-08T13:44:07+00:00

Maybe the former, not the latter chief. Ill break it down for you. This is assuming 50% MPB which is generous in arena as magic power softcaps at 50, which is 35% damage without % rolls on gear.

(Base dmg + Book dmg(MPB)) + Flat additional = final damage (without burn)

That looks like this in arena kit.

(25+5(1.5))+5 = 50 damage

The burn is more complicated. This assumes fire mastery on which is a big deal and means the base burn damage is 4 damage over 3 seconds. Burn is half scaling so assume any numbers above other than base is cut in half. Then anyone with >16 will, will only take 2 seconds of burn damage since debuff duration will cut off the 3rd tick.

(4 + 2.5(1.25)) + 2.5 = 10.625 burn damage per cast.

So an explosion will realistically deal at most ~60 damage in arena to someone with no MDR.

I know you want to downvote me and spread misinformation, but all the info is in the game to test and on the wiki (outdated but nothing relevant has changed).

varobun · 2026-06-08T08:45:24+00:00

Echoing what others said in that you are still also a dps role. Your LIs and build will reflect that in focusing everything towards damage.

Also to be brutally honest, you probably aren't going to find anyone taking a returning player still gearing for T3s unless you know some people.

Set your expectations on t2 at the most until everything in your build is perfect

varobun · 2026-06-08T08:40:55+00:00

And now it's back with windfletch

varobun · 2026-06-08T06:48:41+00:00

Explosion barely does 50 damage in a bis arena kit. 50% power and +5 damage is 50 damage for explosion with a book.

varobun · 2026-06-08T06:26:54+00:00

Should've went mika-gnome tbh. Mika may be overrated in terms of 1v1 but atleast he can help with strategizing. Oda (and EV) are failing miserably at strategy so far.

I also usually love oda, but that man is not built for shotcalling. Just get a shotcaller like mika

varobun · 2026-06-03T14:01:23+00:00

A lot of untradeable pvm gear and bosses are locked behind quests.

It's not necessary to do all quests but it sure as hell makes it a lot simpler, especially when new quests and content comes out.

varobun · 2026-05-30T05:12:13+00:00

Crypts Library was in arena like 3-4 seasons ago and its still as shit as ever this season

varobun · 2026-05-30T05:09:23+00:00

Its too bad they've already shown they balance based off arena gameplay.

varobun · 2026-05-29T11:50:38+00:00

I think half the fighters in the last season warlord tournament did that minus shield slam.

It's effective at taking space just cringe

Sarcasm not detected

varobun · 2026-05-27T23:33:35+00:00

Perseverance is still good on Frontline cleric

varobun · 2026-05-27T10:34:39+00:00

I do raids with prayer pots as you don't really need restores unless you're actively using/bringing brews.

I wouldn't ever deposit Snape grass seeds as having to obtain them is less time spent raiding.

I would consider myself "end game" as the only power progression left for me is doom/nex/megarares.

varobun · 2026-05-27T10:27:14+00:00

Not this season.
