Raids be too much for me to process lol, unless there's just a pure DPS role so all I'd have to do is watch my health and beat shit up with mah pew pew, but Yaka seems a bit too much chance of RIP, especially cuz I'm a drip and have crappy reaction times to things. *Plop bombs down near me, I know they're there, am I gonna stop hugging them? Whatchu think?*


Ik the feeling D: My reactions are too slow for top tier Gopping, and get joint problems, too..
..but for BM, you can pretty much dps, as I understand it
- I'm not sure how good the 2 that carried us had to be to do so, and I'm not sure how much was just luck, but other than making sure to keep the big pig/airuit things away from the pros, in the corners, and making sure not to kill them till told.. it really was just stand near the middle and hit anything that moved (other than Goebies), targeting stuff piling someone/using multiple styles on other people > stuff that's loafing about/not piling.

I'm clueless about PvM, yet I survived, so can't be too hard (though I expect we were very lucky that no one died).

As Honey as said, it's only available in combat sadly. It's per monster killed, so every ~33 monsters killed you'll get 3 uncommon components, or a 1/100 chance of those uncommon ones being rare.

If you plan to kill Araxxor, GWD and possibly Vorago, I advise getting Impatient 3 + Devoted 2 combination - it's obtained by 5x Zamorak components (or 4x Zam + 1x Zaros if you have Zaros laying around) The second gizmo to go on your body depends on whether you take the cheap or expensive route on your weapons....

If you go the expensive (Aftershock) method, you'll want to put Aftershock (5x Ilujankan components) on your 2h/mainhand, as well as Precise on your 2h/offhand.

The cheap option compared to Aftershock is Equilibrium (various methods), it lowers your max hit but increases your minimum hit by 3x that - it's good, but it interferes with "Biting" which is a perk people put on armour.

So, depending on what you pick, you'll be wanting either Biting (multiple methods) or something like Venomblood + Efficient on your body. Venomblood negates Araxxor's and Gregorovic's poison, so, really nice to use.

Legs can be used for multiple things, personally I have two sets, one with Crackling (5x Explosive) on, and one with Lucky (5x Fortunate/Silent) on instead. The "lucky" ones I use at Araxxor because I'm too scared of Crackling killing me. The other spot can be used for Absorbative (5x Fungal)

So

Weapons: Precise 5 (5x Armadyl components, 100%) - Either Aftershock (5x Ilujankan, 100%), or Equilibrium 2/3 (5x Rumbling, or 5x Precise components if you only want Equilibrium 2)

Bodies: Impatient 3, Devoted 2 (5x Zamorak, or 4x Zamorak + 1x Zaros), Biting 2 + Venomblood* (2x Healthy + 2x Direct), or Venomblood + Efficient 2 (4x Healthy + 1x Shifting)

Legs: Absorbative 3 (5x Fungal), Lucky 5** (5x Fortunate not 100%, or 5x Silent 100%), or Crackling 3 (4x Explosive + 1x Imbued)

* = Only if you picked Aftershock
** = Only if you didn't pick Crackling Unslain Bosses - Clan

Precise 5 = 6.25% DPS increase
Aftershock 3 = Hits ~2k to all things within a 3x3 square of your target after you hit 50k damage with your weapon. Resets if you take your weapon off.
Equilibrium = Lowers your max hit for 1% per rank but increases minimum by 3% per rank

Impatient = 9% chance per rank your basic ability will give 11% rather than 8% adrenaline
Devoted = 3% chance per rank that devotion will activate for 3 seconds (does not affect the normal devotion in any way)
Venomblood = Negates all poison damage minus the one from Yakamaru.
Efficient = Lowers charge drain by... some percentage per rank. Not particularly useful but better than nothing.
Biting = Increases crit chance by 2% per rank
Lucky = Has a 0.5% chance per rank of reducing an attack to 1 damage.
Absorbative = 20% chance to reduce an attack by 5% per rank (so basically 1% damage reduction per rank)
Crackling = Once a minute it will deal a magic hit of around 3k damage - cannot stop this from happening short of taking the armour piece off, so I dislike it for araxxor. Unslain Bosses - Clan

Thankies for the detail. <3

Can plop 2 perks per 2h/armour piece yeah? Or 2 gizmos rather.

Is there a way to get 2 pairs (4 perks) per item, but all being the best ones described there? Or I assume cuz you need 5x components for something like Precision 5, can't really get say Scavenging 3 on same gizmo/slot?

Also I assume we'll be able to aug helms and other bits of our gear down there line, is it a good idea to invest in augs now for current gear, or will the current 'best' setup of perks be scrapped and start over when we can aug more of our armour etc? Should I hold off til all armour pieces of arugmentable or just yolo, gather materials/components ready for when that happens and maybe consider plucking the then older gizmos out to try for newer ones/combos for stuff. Like maybe it would be ideal to have Biting or something like that on your Helmet, so you can put a new perk like Unflinching on your body that makes you immune to stuns at Arax etc.

Super tempted and kinda wanna tinker/experiment, maybe worth doing at GWD2 as a sort of trial to make some dosh back, or back to my daily Arax kills once I've reclaimed compy capey. Thinking at the moment of auging my nox weaps and nex stuff - til Sirenic etc can be auged and maybe stops them from crumbling to dust like it was once mentioned, inb4 they u-turn that idea too tho. ;-;

Got a ton of wyvern bonemeal to use, was thinkin of converting my prayer flasks into pots, then into super prayer pots and flasks again - worth doing? Seems like super prayer > prayer potion, but maybe it sounds too good to be true/feel like there's a downside or catch there.


Basically all of this is like me finishin off my spate of bank clearance and organising lol, leadin up to tinkerin with augs for me gear. Have gone from bursting bank of 803 slots, down to 253, with a buttload of resources to use up and some old training stuff for this Illumination summer thing. Sort of upgrading and restocking my supplies ready for future boss slogging etc really + downsizing and throwing out stuff I dont feckin ever use.

Correct

No sadly, I tried to group them together, if they're separated by a comma, they're separate gizmos, if it's a "+", they can be on the same gizmo (given the components I said)

So: Precise 5, Venomblood + Efficient 2 ---- would mean Precise 5 (one gizmo), Venomblood + Efficient 2 (one gizmo)

As for helms, I doubt it, not for a long enough time to consider not doing Invention now. Perks are massively helpful at a lot of places, I couldn't live without my augmented gear to be honest.

Sirenic (etc) are becoming augmentable in June, so you could quite possibly wait for those. However, I doubt they will use Divine charges and instead will use some sort of charges based on what is required to make them, so Sirenic scales, Tectonic energy, etc. - That stops Sirenic scales etc becoming irrelevant once you've augmented your gear.

No information as yet though, so take what I say with a pinch of salt. Unslain Bosses - Clan

Ahh alrighty, would be good to know. Though I suppose I couuuuld save the Sirenic etc for later, aug them as the 'super kill everything over the top' gear but aug me Nex gear etc for everything else/sort of still 'super kill everything but not quite' gear.
