    In this video I go over all three combat styles and what the pros and cons of each combat style are to help you decide what combat style you'd like to focus your efforts (and gold) on. Ranged can also lower the defence of its target using black stone arrows.

    One thing I've done recently, is put together the costs for buying every single ability and prayer buff, and it came out to be a whopping 9.3b gp to get all of them. Combine that with how doing dailies no longer pay for bonds with the price increase bonds have seen lately, and with most money makers for lower level players or Skillers being destroyed by new bosses dropping those items, and it is a recipe for burnout as more and more players can't afford the upgrades.

      So, 20 hours of bossing and you'll have 1.4bil that would be enough for you to have near max mage sans FSOA or max melee. You just don't need every ability, item, or prayer buff. Max out a single style and if you ever accomplish that then max out a secondary

    This was a great video man! I am definitely a magic main even before all this GW3 stuff. I was just starting to learn how to use it and it was the worst combat style at the time. Once they gave magic all the buffs I was able to get my hands on a lot of upgrades after goin broken. Full Cryptbloom, Wand of the Praesul, Imp Core, all the abilities except Magma Temp…. Made me love Magic even more. However, melee is my 2nd favorite even though it is harder to use and they have recently tried balancing melee out to be really good but that didnt work. I was still getting all my upgrades for it. I need the whip and the Zuk sword and the new armor besides that I got just about everything for it.

    @wagdiblue Před rokem +1

    GREAT video! sums up the combat triangle with up to date thoughts and reviews of the 3 styles! here is my thoughts on the combat triangle (if anyone cares to read :D) :
    unless you dont mind switching weapons about 15 times ea minute, magic is not an option for you, there is a trick called 4TAA that if you wanna deal good magic damage, you need to use it, otherwise you might as well have full revolution with ranged or melee without any weapon switches and you will be dealing more dmg, with no intensity at all, personally after a lot of years playing this game i stopped enjoying magic lately, i played with the best in slot gear for a while and it was very satisfactory, dealing the most damage while being the team tank, i dont know how new players will find this concept appealing, i sincerely hope this changes, one style dominates all aspects of combat, otherwise you need to put more effort into mastering a different style than you would in magic, and if you like to be tank there is no other options for you, its magic style only for tanks, even the 1 billion gp melee tank armour can be surpassed by a super cheap t75 magic armour and a few runes to cast a spell, personally if this game was a new game am looking into and happened to watch this video by protoxx i would never think of joining the game, protoxx spoke the truth about runescape combat, and its up to us to decide what combat style to use.
    my thought on other styles -
    melee - is kinda "less" switches per minute, but your switching a lot of weapons in order to deal high damage, IMO its simply not fun at all, most of the bosses have mechanics where you need to move, making melee already lose on damage output if taking time into consideration (dps/dpm...), too many weapons to juggle, one incorrect switch will really affect your damage rotation, and most players will not be the supreme masters of switchscape so most of us will end up misclicking once in a while, beside you would expect melee given its weakness of no damage output while moving to dodge a boss mechanic, to be tanky... it is so not... for some reason magic can be twice as tanky as the best melee armour and setup.
    the vamp scrimshaw of healing mentioned in the video is a bad choice if you are bossing, it sacrifices a lot of damage by using it instead of any book that can deal damage, it is used for survivability but if that is a problem to you might as well then use the tank style (magic), so to sum melee up at most bosses (not all as said in the video) it will be overall lower damage, require more switches and more weapons, more intense kind of play, require more healing because of the fact that its not tanky enough, and my personal opinion - not fun.
    ranged - this was the meta for a long time (before magic got some updates), but not anymore, i think ranged is the best style to use if your a casual player and 100% the style to use if your a new player, do note that magic players with the same gear tier will probably deal more damage, and in the same time be more tanky than you are, i do believe that with the correct gear and a skilled player ranged damage will match that of magic, very much thanks to the new ranged weaponry introduced lately into the game, but most players will simply not reach this point, a point where this style also becomes very intense (more intense than magic IMO that most players who are willing to give this dedication to get better at the game might as well chose to do it with magic since its easier to reach such a point of skill),for the casual player ranged still provides good enough damage to be able to solo, or to join an elite team for group bossing, the "elitest" of teams will probably require you to have magic style not ranged tho.
    i personally think that if you want to enjoy the game for the long time, do not look into becoming the player with the highest damage output or the tankiest player, just be a casual player, find the style that fits you, and i am sure that you will still be able to solo bosses, join big teams for high PVM bosses, and also enjoy the other aspects of the game (slayer, skilling and reaching 99s and 120s, questing...)

      "Rheyo RS" made a video about them, I've been using mine for a while now and i think they are Great, however if you want a TL;DR and my takeaway about VoH:
      - Vestments of Havoc are META at bosses with low "Personal" K.O. Potential.
      If you're taking too much damage at a particular boss; and it depends on your own skill too! Use Trimmed Masterwork Armour, some cases include: High Enrage Telos, Solo Solak, High Enrage Zamorak Solo, HM Kerapac Solo, High Enrage Arch Glacor. HM Zuk.
      For everything Else, VoH is BIS and you should use them. Yes even the remaining Slayer Tasks that are best done with Melee. Slap [Biting 4 + Genocidal] on them and see your damage ramp up.

      When you feel like you're about to take lots of damage, like High Enrage Telos or HM Kerapac, or even High Enrage Zamorak, use TMW Armour, outside of those cases there's very little reason not to use VoH, also you could make some Biting Gizmo like [Biting 4 + Genocidal] and see the damage ramp up dramatically at some bosses.

  • @padwa45

    I cannot decide between the Inquisitor's staff or the staff of Sliske because the staff of Sliske is technically 80m cheaper, since you need to buy the enhancement of afflicition for 150m to fully enable the powers of the Inq staff. But lets be honest at this price point - 80m more or less doesn't really matter.
    Then the staff of Sliske is tier 92 just how it is while the Inq staff has a tier 97 damage with the appropriate gear, boosts, passive effect (Dark wither) and the enhancement of afflicition according to the wiki. And the Inq staff is only useful at bosses and slayer creatures where its susceptible, I know this covers alot of relevents bosses and creatures, but it ain't every boss or creature, where the staff of Sliske will give the same output at every boss and slayer creature.
    Furthermore the Inq staf's spell damage only scales up to lvl 80 spells.
    So the staff of Sliske's spell damage is higher for sure. Then the staff of Sliske has a special attack. I don't know whether it's any good but it has one while the Inq staff only has it's passives to compensate for that.
    So my question is which staff should i get? Taking into account that this will be the main staff for a long time, that I will use for all my pvming. At least where magic is a viable option.
    Thanks in advance!

  • @Nordkrafts
    @Nordkrafts Před rokem

    I like melee the most, because I enjoy the complexity of it But I don't like the idea of having to sacrifice pocket slot effect for survivability, so I end up switching between a book and a vamp scrim which is just more switches into melee.
    Now as a "melee only" ironman, it's not my place to complain about problems with melee. The one single advantage that melee has over range/mage is the upkeep of ammo but at least they are somewhat sustainable, vamp scrims aren't, unless you have maxed ports and farm them daily. I don't like dailies and I don't have the time to runecraft runes.
    As an ironman, melee is the hardest/longest style to unlock to become useful for PVM (disregarding slayer).
    And it's quite difficult to upgrade melee gear while using melee: nex is a pain to melee, telos is awful with drygores, zuk is a pain and a half to melee in normal mode, let alone HM. Glacor is frustrating with every style, but a lot slower with melee. ed2 bosses are fine, the dungeon is a pain to melee due to random black dragons requiring stupid accuracy.
    Zamorak is actually a lot of fun to melee, but it requires vamp scrims or a team to carry you. And in a team scenario you kind of get screwed over for using the melee bleeds, that jagex keeps pushing on us.
    tl;dr. magic is definitely the best and also the easiest style to use when comparing the amount of input needed.

      Not squishy but Fluid. You need to manage your adrenaline efficiently to get your money's worth using Ranged.
      If you need more adren, use the Inspiration Aura. No need to use Grico Hydrix Bolts unless you're absolutely desperate about Adrenaline.

    • @PrototypeC4

      @@Kranon that’s definitely an advantage ranged has. But comparing survivability across the 3 styles, ranged comes in last place. I guess the one argument you could make is, since you’re able to amass adrenaline easily for ranged you could exhaust more of it into defensive thresholds. But regardless of that , there is no unique damage mitigation for ranged players unlike the other 2 styles.

  • @SilverDawnbreak
    @SilverDawnbreak Před rokem

    Well which is best really depends on what your doing and how much you can spend. Only have 500k for a gear set? melee will be infinitly better then mage and range since you can get very fast tier 85ish gear super cheap. Where as if you have a couple hundred mill then perhaps a mage setup with animate dead will prove much better then both melee and range while range and magic get better and better as you get into the billions while melee starts falling behind

    I'd say the best style is the one you're more familiar with, but given recent additions and weapons. I'd go with magic.
    I even dubbed it the "Helmet Style" because it's so safe to use, you won't be able to hurt yourself using it, no skill needed either, just pop up Animate Dead, wear your Cryptbloom, setup your Crit Stick and let the game play itself while you think about other things...
    Yeah, that's why Magic is a Helmet Style.
