This is the Most Powerful Ring in the Game LOL 

Do you think this should be a core game mechanic or is this too much?

hespori special happens at about 45 secs into the fight so if you get hit with the hespori's special attack you've already failed the speed task

The "mechanic" of freezing the player, when theres no way to dodge it has always been a shit mechanic in any game.

i think the general rule of thumb is that the players effort times skill should equal the rewards. Pray flicking for example requires timing to the enemies attacks or constant double clicking in rythym and although it's a powerful effect it requires attention, game knowledge and skill when managing other mechanics. This little qwerk is a lot less powerful than infinite prayer but requires at least one inventory slot, skill and game knowledge to save a little time/damage. ideally it would be attributed to the ring of stone and rare transform itemss as the ring of stone is quite the let down compared to the other onyx jewelry

I tested out the ring at Sarachnis, and it's strong, but to actually see any benefit from it you need to time it well, and still need to pray range. It only saves I think max 2-4 ticks per entangle she does, since the transform and back itself takes 2 ticks to perform. It's definitely not broken, and requires skill to use. I'd love to see an official stance from jagex about allowing it.

Thematically, it makes sense that if a boss has you entangled in a web or roots or such, that morphing your shape could help free you from the restraints. So you can definitely argue this is not "unexpected behaviour"

keep it for whatever it currently works on, no reason to nerf sarachnis or hespori etc for new bosses they can code it to not work, like they did with duke room.. although i dont think getting stuck and having to wait is a fun game mechanic anyways, gameplaywise its terrible unless the attack is avoidable somehow

if they try to remove they might as well remove tick eating due to being a bug

the sarachnis dad joke killed me 😂😂😂😂

I think if it's preventing *any* future boss from having an ensare mechanic, sure. Change the rings, prevent their use in boss arenas, whatever. But if the new ensares are coded in a way to avoid the ringtech, then fuck it, let those rings work the way they do in the limited use cases they have. Honestly, It'd be an interesting mechanic for a future boss (or bosses) to have mechanics that are uniquely skippable with the right item(s). Being able to bypass a specific phase of a newer boss without actually ending the fight or trivializing it because of a reward from a previous tier of raid would be awesome.

Did you try with Vardorvis special attack ?

Broooo chill I’m close to drop rate for pet at sarcnis using this. I hope this video doesn’t make them nerf it too soon. Sae bae did one too and I was like nooooooo

can you use it to dodge the knockback in baba?

Does it work for thieving stuns?

If it worked against other players it would make for a fun defense item mechanic thing

imagine if this worked in the wildy if someone barrages you and you just unfreeze yourself and run off xD

If thats not bug abuse what's the point in learning all of the boss mechanic if you are only skipping it with a ring

Nice vid kriibus

So basically I can just stand in place at Verzik, keep hitting and Morph whenever I get stuck?

I don't think its bug abuse, but it is not intended, though what they can do is leave it in for the current bosses and use that new freeze for newer content like the duke one but the problem is as you stated, it hasn't been fully explored yet, it could lead to other bigger forms of bug abuse if there indeed is other uses for it.

This will get patched out, literally just breaking game mechanics of multiple bosses. Neat trick though never knew about it

Was playing hearthstone while watching and I was wondering why cards weren’t making sound effects lmao

i feel like this is exactly the same as step-back Muspah, and shouldn't be considered bug abuse

They did this with the whisperer boss. Whisper does special attack. You click rock to negate special attack. EZ Profit

I think it opens up new engaging way to create content and add what's essentially an ability in the nature of rs3 while maintaining the osrs game design. However I do think this in it's current state should be fixed but that jagex can add this ability to a real game item in the future.

Imagine using this on a pvp situation a pker freeze you and you escape yourself using a ring of stone 😂

Speaking as the Lord of rings. Nice vid.

I can't wait for Rendi to use this in his next video somehow.

I wish I knew this when I was getting 621 hespori kills in leagues...

yoo osrs has anticipation ability added from rs3

I really like this! I think this is ok for all the bosses it currently affects, and I think they should intentionally design content around it. Ring of stone isn't horrible to obtain, so I think it's fine that holiday items give you the same affect... Maybe jagex could add more items with a similar effect that can be obtained normally?

Its def not bug abuse since the ring is a game mechanic and everyone has access to it

Makes me wonder if anyone has tested the ring in PvP situations. It could replace mithril seeds in the meta if it works against player-cast Ice Barrage spells. ALSO, I'm not sure it's necessarily Bug Abuse. The interaction between Mithril Seeds and the ice barrage spell was also an unintended interaction - you use Mithril Seeds to escape the freeze effect. Rather than patching it and banning anyone who has used it, Mithril Seeds are now given to people in the LMS minigame.

Insane, i do need to catch up

It has a limited number of applications on bosses that aren't particularly difficult. I'd say Jagex should leave it in. It makes some niche items have a use other than just showing off.

Opens a conversation about adding more items with anti-stun mechanics.

spider WHAT attack 🤔

Ring of 3rd age doesnt work since you have to choose what item you want to morph into

Beautiful presentation. The globalization of tick manipulation is a serious concern for which there is no mezzanine.

I hope this doesn't go away soon lol

Obviously not worth with Phoenix necklace strat but… sote boss?

Sarachnis is an arachnid, not a bug, so it's not bug abuse! Great news for the stoned community.

Does this work in pvp?

This is over the top lol. However, bosses freezing you in place with no way to avoid it is a lame mechanic

Since when is morphing a base mechanic in Minecraft :D

autocast crumble undead on a slayer staff makes vorki super ez :D

It’s just another type of tick manipulation

one thing that annoys me about all the new content is that there seems to be a reliance on chip damage to add a level of difficulty, I do not think this ring is an issue because I believe all damage should be avoidable if the player has the correct level of skill or equipment and this just sounds like a counter to a mechanic.

spiders arent bugs tho

SHADOW CLONE JUTSU

I don't see an issue. As stated, you're clicking more, focusing more, and using your brain/time to be more efficient. That should equal rewards more quickly. It's not game-breaking, and it's really fun to use. It's not necessary or broken. Same as tick-manipulation or prayer flicking. I say - let it ride. Like it has been. For 20 years.

Nah its legit. Did the sarachnis combat tasks using this. It also makes sarachnis braindead as you just pray melee and use the ring to skip ranged attacks

You can complete the fight caves combat achievement without prayer flicking. Just proper safe spotting and tick-eating. The conversations then shifts to whether or not tick-eating is bug abuse.

hope they dont patch this

no one dies at the spawn at vorkath...

Oh that’s funny saves 2 seconds but HOURS OF SALT

This is just playing smart, not abuse. LIke abuse sounds more likes things you harm others with. Like stalling animations to PK others easy that kind a shit is abuse but this is more like getting rewarded for you being smart, and you dont harm anyone.

It's a bug and bugs should be fixed.

This is gonna get hot fixed so fast

Lets be honest this is just janky af, the positive reaction to it in the comments is emblematic of a bigger problem for the game right now in my opinion. I think it boils down to the fact that players in PVM don't really have many interesting mechanics to play with that they control. The new bosses in the game have interesting mechanics and attacks for sure, but at the end of the day the game play loop for every boss is basically the same. Switch prayers accordingly so you don't get killed in 1 or two attacks, walk off the hazard tiles when floor hazards pop up and make sure you are auto attacking when you are supposed to be. The new prayers really could have helped give the player more agency over how they wanted to fight a boss but sadly they were only added into leagues. I'd love to see items introduced into the game that function in a way similar to this though, Like having useful active items with effects that the player has to make a choice between using on a cool down.

Omg. This is hilarious!!! 😂😂😂

who has died to vork freeze? lol

We really don’t need more mechanics in this 20 year old game

runescape kiddos just figuring out what ive known for almost 20 years

Saying "fuck it" because they don't know how to solve a problem is like peak Jagex. Prayer flicking and Tick Manipulation are pure bullshit and ruin the game for sane humans but they're now core to the game because Jagex couldn't reasonably fix it. This thing is less of a huge deal, but it's wrong for all the same reasons. And I fully expect Jagex just lets it be because they don't give a damn about this kind of thing.

big

O P

Seems like bug abuse

Honestly, this seems lame to use. I miss when killing kbd was top tier bossing. This game used to be so chill, and now its super super sweaty for no reason. Its runescape, and I'm a maxed player loool. Why does it have to be even sweatier lool
