Should YOU get BiS Melee? | Runescape 3 

As a Melee/Necro main Mobile PVM'er I approve of this message :)

You can pvm with any style tho

well tecnicly all you need is a weapon and a way to survive....in no way is bis 2styles needed to do pvm...unless your a wierd hybrid world record chanser and speedrunner...you can boss in pretty measly gear and cheap stuff...ofc you wont get the same result in 50m in gear as 6bill but your comment makes no sence......10m in necro gear and you can do every boss and get reaper crew(except from completly necro imune bosses like assencion bosses and dks and matriarchs but ye...some warpriest and the weapon from wildy event that cost 1m and are t87 can do that for you)

Idk how good this is because I usually go all or nothing with revo but a decent basic bar is prob: Sever > Havoc > Dismem > Gfury > Deci or something like that, maybe play with order a little

I could have made the video 3 hrs long with all the caveats lol

They should make it passive

@@shadowrealms2676 like the ring of vigor? Idk about that. There are a few places you don't want it active. Making it an ammo slot would be effectively making it passive.

At this rate t99s are 50 years away, so any solution to make current melee less excessive is better than nothing... More seriously tho, merging is just a simple and effective solution but many other things could work. You say pocket item but I think you mean ammo item? And if that's what you mean, that sounds a little better than merging. The problem is there's like 4 different slots that are competing (helm, MH, 2H, gloves). I'm just personally not a fan of having multiple pieces of gear competing for the same slot and being similar in necessity to use. Or 1 ability switches, like we do with the passage gloves on poisonable bosses... Something needs to be done lol I'd rather see Gmeteor (and nami+cend) be used to solve the crit buff issue not reduce adren costs. Melee does have ammo in the armor spikes and I say in the vid that I'd like to see more variety in spikes. I wouldn't mind a deathspore-like spike for adren reducts. And your last point, I find melee and ranged are about the same at the highest levels of execution, maybe ever so slightly skewed toward ranged bc wen and bolg micro but idk melee has an OBSCENE amount of switching if you wanna get the most out of it and you're switching stuff for almost every ability

@FroggieGames Yeah, I meant ammo slot... I think this would take about the same amount of time to develop as any kind of merger solution and it avoids delaying the same problem for later. Just add some mob/boss that drops an item or add the item to some drop table and you can use it to merg jaws and scourge in the ammo slot. It can hold spikes. I wish they'd just design things better tbh, even rework scourge and shit, but there's no time budget for that. It's not like merging them wouldn't solve the problem with all the competing gear, it's just the worst practical solution imo. If on Monday they announced we could go the bench and do this, it would be better than the current state. Anything they can do is fine with me. They could add armor spikes with effects that reduced the cost of stuff too. That's also fine with me. Honestly, anything because the only viable crit options for melee are off style. You either meteor and grico to rebuild or you tsunami. You can just camp melee without those, but you're just objectively sacrificing a better option to do so. I think for the 26s melee is zerked it can do similar or a bit more damage than ranged, but it's the in between period whee melee cliff dives. Not as hard as magic, but still. And I'm not executing at the highest level at all. I'm decent, but im not out to brag. You're much better than i am, so if im wrong and melee really can do the work, then I'll gladly accept that for what it is. My references are kinda based on what I see other players do at the tip top. I've seen 70s Raksha solos camping ranged, and I've only seen maybe 90s solos with melee. Without using a calculator, that's what, ~25% more damage? That's fairly significant. Maybe the melee players weren't as good? And if they don't touch anything, I'll continue to melee, and I'll be happy doing so. I just think there's broader design goals they could probably aim for with some changes aince they're already rebuilding a lot. Imo, if leng spec also doubled the chance to gain ice stacks for like 15-20s this helps the lengs broaden the gap from scourge. Specs do a bit more, just overall helps. It's kinda inconsistent atm and sometimes you go to spec and see there's no stacks at all which feels like shit. Or the lazy solution is to make the mh double the chance to proc and then make each stack do less. I mentioned the hitcap. The only reason it's 30k is because the engine is coded to cap at 32.7k? I think? Red zammy can be hit for 32.5k and I believe they just coded it a hair shy of the engine cap. Engine updates are more rare, but on the next they just need to crank it up. It's current 2^15 whatever that is, so I'm unsure what it takes to move it to 2^16 but that's already ~65k which is a lot better. They can then code the cap to anything under that new one. Id just start at 40k, but who knows where it should be, maybe 65k. But the point is that getting the hitcap off melees neck .... again... would already be a big help. Like, sure, I can now roar an OP in zerk and do 2 hits for 65k, but even this I doubt fully closes the gap. Then move zgs to 50% over 25% and see if it helps. I use zgs a lot when the bleeds aren't practical, and it feels really meh.

@@jlayman89I have factual proof merging works, osrs. It gives the old content a boost and it also makes the older t92 items still worth gp, so the power creep isnt so insane you quit and come back 5 months later and your 10b bank is 3b. Why should we allow older content to die off? Makes no sense, and EOFs should be able to be upgrade to allow multiple specs some players can’t afford 20 EOFs, the game says it wants to cater to the entire player base yet time after time they continue to reward the people who held on to paper colored hats, so either your lucky or you didn’t play then. 😂

This is like bandos armor with better then torva damage and dual wield fangs.

It's like wearing full melee void with the strength bonus and accuracy of Torva and Infernal Cape

ppl tend to forget that not only zerk makes you take more damage zerk auras and full book to and probly some other things i forget. necro ppl have a good life where they can afk and never eat lol.

@@Nevervorago I am using range lol. But yeah just annoying stuff like no greater zerk and he says dude I don’t got as long as u to charge the pad / do the whole shenags

EOFs are a big item sink that keeps value in a lot of different content.

lol. Minimum gear for BiS is BiS. Hahaha

Melee sucks to use at any boss so range is much better

I'd never use melee over range at anything besides maybe 500% zam

Range is much better, safe spotting etc, and u don't get a crazy def cut like mele when using yer ult o/r splitsoul spec. Mele is squishy and it's nonsense.

he said best in slot...not worste in slot.

and?

Melee is good at ed3, pretty much only place I use it.

Kinda the point of the item. I don't see the problem.
