Lunging is a weird one.

If you use a bleed every 9 abilities, and going by what the wiki says about lunging (4.72% more damage per hit) you have 4.72*5/9=2.62% more damage against stationary targets. Against moving targets however, the damage will be less. You have -4.98% damage per hit, so -4.98*5/9=-2.76% more damage against moving targets (- being less). Anything I got wrong here? Other than the fact that you can't always use bleeds every 9 abilities, which make these numbers lower.

Anyway, considering the perk is weapon only it's really bad compared to aftershock and precise. Even if the % was high enough to be good against stationary targets, it would make walking bleeds less effective and lower your damage there so the perk would be a waste. Unless you're willing to have multiples of each weapon for situations like those (standing targets). Personally, I'm not a fan of that.

Biting 2/3 always come with cautious at high levels, which is really backwards. High level shouldn't make all perks more common, only good ones. If anything bad perks should be less common.

You don't get cautious with noxious of course, but that's not my point. Leveling invention shouldn't be punishing.

@Kakamile

I think your paragraph is meant to say this?

Note: Biting 2 is difficult to get without Cautious. It's preferred over Crackling but putting Biting 3 on armour instead of 2, using Noxious components, allows use of Aftershock 3 when bossing and prevents Cautious during Slayer.

I have to say I'm very confused right now, lol.

Oh, you can get that yes, or try 2 enhancing for dragon slayer (or anything really). But that limits you to 2, if you want to try for 3 you need 5 direct, and in that case you will get 2 (very rarely 3, sometimes 1) with cautious.

Additionally, trying for efficient using healthy will always give committed with it at high levels. Again an issue with high levels being punishing and making bad perks more common instead of less common.

Since Jagex doesn't seem to do anything with this... do you guys think it will be possible to lower the level and get better combos, like biting 2 + venomblood after the inv amnesty will be lifted?
