Tell me about it haha Last leagues i went range spec build and gave up on getting a Zcb after 100+ solo nex kills + 611 kills on bandos for hilt. And the leagues before that one 400+ kills on Bandos for hilt. Guess who's going back again this year without last recall just to get void :^) (its me)
@@GnomonkeyRS Last recall made it kinda fun for me, teleporting out and recalling back (which put you outside the door) made the bosses respawn instantly so no waiting around. Plus you only needed KC once.
That's funny, I also decided on those exact same 3 regions as a ranged build, purely for the meme build of max strength bonus eclipse atlatl with perfect accuracy
Picked Asgarnia and had a great time with it last year. But I ultimately decided on Tirannwn this time as a melee build. DPS is slightly higher than Torva and it provides amazing setup for range as a secondary style (bowfa and BP). Mory is an auto pick, and Varlamore is my goal since I wanna vs Sol. I think in terms of power level, range will be the strongest, but I think I personally will have a lot more fun and skill expression with Melee. I am honestly soo excited for this leagues to start
Huge thing about this over elflands is you have access to astral runes outside of a single mob from tarns lair that drops 2 astrals at a rate of 1/42 which means access to veng
Honestly, especially with the addition of Varlamore, I think that Tirannwn and Kandarin should just be merged into one region - and even then it would be hard to choose it over other offerings this league.
Tir is good gear for all 3 styles and makes smithing/crafting/thieving free 50 mils with dodgy deals. Kandarin on the other hand is pretty sad with echo Frem jewelry totally outclassing occult plus it's nerf and lame echo boss drop.
I of course plan on going 3-3-3 for my combat masteries with the Hespori Blicky for a perfect Guthixian balance of nature. (Zuk scares me as he is really tall)
I went morytania every league since the original trailblazer for melee builds and every time I was just out of reach of the dragon trophy because I wasn't able to do Tob, this time despite how good morytania will be I plan to go VAD for a specialist melee build with some range hybriding with the drygor blowpipe I think this will be the most fun league yet!
@@agux0 This was later in the league so finding teams was next to impossible, and I tried to solo but got hard stuck in the nylocas room after plenty attempts I just gave up.
your point about the fishing relic synergizing with the foraging relic sold me on picking the fish relic. i can't think of any other way to maximize the foraging relic, knowing that i'll be catching karambwans every 2 ticks. my path is slightly different since i'm still sticking with tiranwann, and i'm choosing last stand no matter what because i'll be learning tob (by doing solo) + colosseum, but this vid was quite insightful nonetheless. ty for sharing
I plan on going same build but tirannwn over asgarnia. The dps of the crystal armour is crazy and it even has a splash of prayer bonus for the sol spear (+8 over torva if you include the blessing). With 3 points into ranged I'll have a 1T blowpipe and 3T bowfa for zuk and other situations I might need ranged. Speccing with the dogsword does seem incredibly fun, but I'll probably take last stand for ezscape and dharok purposes.
I'm picking the same 3 regions as you. Crystal armor is definitely the stronger choice but I can totally understand choosing the fun in the new spec weapon. 3t bowfa for zuk though may unironically be more challenging than just using a 4t rune cbow. dps calc shows rune cbow with rubies is a lot slower, but i imagine it's going to be very easy to lose a ton of ticks with a 3t weapon. There's that entire buffer area before reaching the edges where attacking on certain tiles will just drag you toward zuk
I was thinking of going mage, but it has the weakest CMs and Echo items, a real shame. Now i'm thinking of going melee and picking morytania, femmy and tirannwn.
I feel torn too. I really like phase 3 hunlef and hate cerb and vex, so being able to get echo hunlef and crystal armor instead of dog and bat girl would be great, but I do want to bonk with spec all the time. Only issue with the spec though is that you dont get the spec ring unless you go desert... seems like spec is best for ranged tbh with zcb + lightbearer and going something like desert+asgarnia+fremenik for the insane jewelry. Ugh, if only you had time to do multiple runs :(
Don't want to play range for the third trailblazer in a row... guess the joke's on me for wanting magic this year. Also I feel like Slayer Master is way weaker without Morytania for black mask boost. Feels bad man. Auto-pick for Mory, way weaker outside of it.
I am assuming the slayer helm is locked to Morytania as well? Without it, I'm not sure how well the slayer relic holds up...but at least your boss farming would give you slayer xp.
as someone who cant do sol confidently what other region would you recommend in place? i considered wildy but you brought up the point of crazy builds camping out areas and took me out of my perfect world of no pkers while i kill bosses. Mory, Asgarnia look great, i just dont know what compliments that.
I’m a little worried about taking varlamore because of the grandmaster SOL difficulty. I’m a decent pvmer, but I’m not a god. It took me 70 try’s for my first quiver and like 15 inferno attempts. I don’t want to lock myself out of the 10th relic because of that pick. What should I do?
Have fun with it. I don't think it's going to be that crazy. Nothing in leagues has ever been super hard. If all else fails level up another account and do different regions, plenty of time!
Hey just a quick heads up, Gloves of the Damned doubles both the normal set effect AND the amulet of the damned effect (while also counting as an amulet of the damned), making it actually useful for more than just the Dharoks set!
Tir would give toxic trident, blowpipe, bowfa and melee buff. Don't forget that melee hand will take 1/3 damage from mage and tekton and vasa crystals must be meleed.

well we might run into each other bc we have exactly the same plans for this league hahaha
gl with your drops :]
Plan on going V/D/F. As a 6/4 melee range. I really want to use a 1t Blowpipe and also do echo sol. This gets me everything.
14:30 I believe mods have explicitly stated that you can game the herb sack on the leagues discord.
Yes
I went 700 kc for full dh last season. I'm going to try ranged with no gwd. Just reclined and enjoy some turret strats.
Thanks for breaking that down, otherwise it sounded quite overwhelming
Kourend Gun may be a silly noodle of a weapon, but by Guthix I wanna see how dumb it can get with some of these masteries.

but can you set your last recall to the last stand stats is the real question

im going kandarin mory korend for a nightmare staff elemental mage and i wil lbe using fire surge on verzik
Spiders are weak to fire
Are you able to get wrath runes without fremmy?
@@equilities8143nope, trash build lol
Why not frem over kourend? You don't really gain that much from ancestral
Im going ATF. Getting a multitude of Ranged Gear and weapons to shoot Cerberus with. It will be perfect.
Imagine going 5x dry for dharoks with a 5x boost, definetly happening to someone
I'll cry but at least I'll have total recall
i hated this last leagues, im avoiding morytania and going dry at moons instead
@@d0onutthats gonna be more painful if you go dry because of the smaller pool of uniques 😭

Leagues is so fast you definitely have time to get one dragon cup and level another just for trying out PVM if that's what you want!!
V M D, it will be the most fun for melee in telling youuuu
Desert offers near nothing for melee. Plus fuck ToA
i'll probably be a range build but with mory, varl and then desert
Don't want to play range for the third trailblazer in a row... guess the joke's on me for wanting magic this year.
Also I feel like Slayer Master is way weaker without Morytania for black mask boost. Feels bad man. Auto-pick for Mory, way weaker outside of it.
You left out that Last Stand will perma-boost your combat stats by +15 after your first time activating it
going 6/4 melee range spec build with ZAT. i just wanna spec shit out, i just wanna spec shit out, let me spec shit out!!!!
I am assuming the slayer helm is locked to Morytania as well? Without it, I'm not sure how well the slayer relic holds up...but at least your boss farming would give you slayer xp.

forget the blowpipes, i'm gonna d throw knife all the way ZAF.

Golden god with fremy/varlamor looks busted
HESPORI BLICKY
!! WE UP IN THIS
what should i do if i die to a bug
Play leagues and wash away the pain
as someone who cant do sol confidently what other region would you recommend in place? i considered wildy but you brought up the point of crazy builds camping out areas and took me out of my perfect world of no pkers while i kill bosses. Mory, Asgarnia look great, i just dont know what compliments that.
For pure bossing honestly maybe CG for More/Asgarnia.
@ if you picked these 3 would you change any of your relics?
can u explain why void is bis for ranged this time around? just curious
I believe it is because void gives higher max hit and with t6 ranged you don't have to worry about the lack of accuracy that usually balances it out.
I’m a little worried about taking varlamore because of the grandmaster SOL difficulty. I’m a decent pvmer, but I’m not a god. It took me 70 try’s for my first quiver and like 15 inferno attempts.
I don’t want to lock myself out of the 10th relic because of that pick.
What should I do?
Have fun with it. I don't think it's going to be that crazy. Nothing in leagues has ever been super hard. If all else fails level up another account and do different regions, plenty of time!
It's sad that the reason to take Asgarnia is void.
You don't pick other regions for their choices of armor?
@@MF_RUNENo, I pick regions for their repeatable content.
What did you mean by they downplayed the echo bosses a lot?
Can I hear why you didnt choose to have Fremmy in the mix as a melee build? did you not see the amulet and ring to be powerful enough of a pick?
For melee they are strong no doubt but I also get Rancour/Bloodfury + Ultor so there's no need
Hey just a quick heads up, Gloves of the Damned doubles both the normal set effect AND the amulet of the damned effect (while also counting as an amulet of the damned), making it actually useful for more than just the Dharoks set!
Even with the amulet bonuses other sets just aren't as good as typical builds, though it could be fun to play. But we're dps fiends here lmao
For range do I go morty bc I wanna tob. asgar and frem? sadge missing out on bp.
If you want to tob, pick it! I think bp is fun but being 1t it will be very hard to use. 2t tbow will annihilate
Do you think T6 magic with volatile spec being higher than inferno rangers base hp can beat T6 range for the inferno pb this league?
No lol... I think mage is extremely bad and range is the best by astronomical levels
Dont you need morytania for the slayer relic to be useful at all?
Morytania is needed for the slayer helmet which makes the slayer relic much more powerful.
No W melee? Nah.
Jk no wrong answers :^)
never picking asgarnia again
does anyone know if atlatl is 1 or 2 tick with tier 5 range mastery?
It will be 2t
let's goooooo
Anyone have good ideas for t6 mage other than kourend and Fremmy
Depends if you flex into range or melee. Probably just pick a echo boss you want to try
Tir would give toxic trident, blowpipe, bowfa and melee buff.
Don't forget that melee hand will take 1/3 damage from mage and tekton and vasa crystals must be meleed.
Tekton takes only 1/5 dmg from mage not immune*. And vasa crystals only take 1/3 damage from mage immune to ranged*.
you didn't even explicitly mention the combination for range of never missing + always hitting at least 30% of your max hit
All hail the dogsword
What do you mean ToB doesnt have cap? I think you meant CoX, but put ToB. 1:21
I think Tob hard mode and 500+ toa is team wide purples. Not sure what he meant there
wow first
people are sleeping on range never missing
