I know it's still a ways off from what a fast kill at Vindicta can look like, but I managed to bring my personal best kill time down from around 2:40 to 1:26 the other day! It's a small achievement, but I'm proud of it nonetheless.
For those who might be curious about what changes I made:
* Finally maxed melee combat (90/96 -> 99/99) (1)
* Added perks to my Aug C Hally & Bandos gear ( Nothing fancy, just crackling/equilibrium and mobile)
* Learned more about increasing 2h Melee DPS
* Picked up a Ripper Demon (2)
* Picked up Dharok Relic from Archaeology (3)
* Tried a proper opening rotation with Vigor switch (Nat Instinct -> Berserk -> Adren Pot) (4)
* Spent Less time worrying about minimizing food loss with res swaps & wasting ticks on defensives.
In particular, the main points that helped were ripper, relic, maxed combat, and a proper rotation. Nothing crazy - just learning more about game mechanics and using them correctly.
Now my next goal - Learn how to deal with Greg for that chance at Caroming!
