The Official Combat Beta Thread

No but i heard that they all have the same stats but they still have their own effects.

 

No they all have the divine effect except spectral for some reason.. spectral is still mage def

 

Wow, really? So an arcane ss will have the %30 damage reduction effect?

 

Yep which is why arcane is starting to go up now.. people are prepping but whats funny is that nothing is set in stone yet so it could be in a different twist but yes in the og blog and q&a the jmods confirmed that all ss's except spectral get divine and spectral remains same

 

You will be level 200 (max combat level).
Cmb = x + defence + 2
x - the highest level between attack, strength, magic and ranged.

 

Has anybody attempted Dungeoneering yet?

 

It's wayyyyyyyyy faster and merc leader and people of that sort are super easy

 

Wow that's going to suck. I looked it up and apparently arcane will be the divine for mages, elysian for rangers, and divine for melee.

Also how is the combat rework going to affect pvm? If anyone knows

 

Is there another thread or site that lists the stats of all the weapons/equipment?

 

That's great news then. I'm glad I haven't achieved 99 yet :laugh: .

 

Bump

Leaks of jul 7th not being open to other members might be true

 

I don't know of one that lists every new item, but runescape wikia has a few.

You basically get the url http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Beta:
then add the item name at the end. If it's not there, they haven't added it

For example: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Beta:Virtus_wand

 

ugh i just hope they dont ruin it to bad to my prefrence they should go back to the old rs like 06ish

 

I'm really, REALLY excited for this. I'll be pushing through to 99 magic so I can enjoy all of the beefed up spell effects.

 

Will we be able to Range or Mage only during 1v1 fights? Will it be just as viable as using Melee?

Also, will an account with say, 99 Def and 99 Range stand a chance in 1v1 fights? He'd be around 117 (96 regular) CB if I'm not mistaken.

I don't want to depend on Melee when I'm Ranging or Maging.

 

One of the things I tested was summoning during beta just now

Aggressive familiars are aggressive and actually do damage for their levels.. for example a steel titan can do ~4000lp of damage on average with each hit having a max of 1000

Getting charms has decreased as the rate has been nerfed a little. Rock lobs and waterfiends are near impossible.. for example just trying to barrage lobs i took around 5000 lp/kill since the dags have been increased there.. and barrage doesn't really do much at all

Waterfiends are epic though since prayer does not protect against anything 100%.. I'm getting hit with range and mage constantly in full pernix with a torva helm praying range prayer and turmoil with cmaul.. I took about 4500 lp/kill. It's extremely hard to waterfiend now but I think the crim rate there was increased since out of the kills I did 95% were crim drops which is more than usual

 

Lol @ all the ppl who said pures would be destroyed.

According to this beta tester, currently, pures have been horribly overpowered and can 1 hit KO people now:

 

Thanks for this! I'll edit it in original post in my free time. Anyways what type of purrs are best then?

 

Well various beta testers have said ranged pures are ridiculously overpowered.

This is only the current situation though, it's extremely likely that Jagex will nerf this. Being able to 1 hit KO people instantly all the time will just ruin the game lol.

 

For offhand chaotic weapons, will you have to get 200k tokens as well?
