WIKI GUIDES: Phosani's Nightmare (OSRS)

  • For long time people have been asking me "What is good at XYZ?" and I can't tell them to just look at the Wiki for advice because it is SO bad and even the Gear Discords don't keep up with content and new meta changes quickly. Just peaking at what the Wiki currently had for a couple bosses I realized how HORRIBLE they are and in a funny way. I decided to do a little mini series with me completing the bosses the way the wiki "thinks" it should be completed with.
    With the new tool Gearscape.net I think the wiki is pretty obsolete and there are so many tools within this website/calculator etc that we can throw the Wiki in the trash as far as gear setups go. (I still think the info on the Wiki is accurate and is quite good otherwise for info).
    Let me know what you think or any setups you wanna see in the comments!

    these charts are a very good starting point to go off, saying this as a person who started playing a year~ ago and these charts helped me out a lot in figuring out what gear to work towards, as i dont even know what geear exists in the game. obviously as i came to content harder than jad i started to use dps calcs to go fact check setups and find cheaper/better alternatives, but i still occasionally check those charts to see if i missed something. what im trying to say is: these charts are good as an inspiration, not guides

    I feel like the downgrade charts aren't exactly awful, but do omit a lot of extra needed context. Although those that do need context do typically include a small footnote about that.
    Although the fact they recommend a dwarven helm as the lowest gear over a Neitznot is questionable.

      nah a lot of them are just vibes based and obviously have not been double checked with a dps calc and actually tested out. Just clicking on a random page, for basilisk knights they mention full inquisitor as bis? You'll get shredded by their melee attacks. It's obvious whoever put this there has never tested it at all.

    I wonder if a blurb about how to gear would be far more effective than a chart like that. For phosani specifically, it could mention that crush accuracy and strength bonus is important, your defense doesn't matter, prayer bonus is nice, and the damage thresholds for 1 shots are important. Then for totems mention that magic damage is important, but accuracy is useless.

      Minimum wiki setup is 3 dps at 99 magic with no boosts/prayers. Enrage would average ~47 seconds and it takes ~80 seconds to lose 100% sanity from staying in the shadow realm. It should be doable if you trigger enrage at 100% sanity and don't take any damage during enrage. Thralls, forgotten/ancient brews, and a boost prayer would give even more leeway. That said, I'm still laughing that the minimum recommended setup includes an amulet of power, a skillcape, and a combat bracelet. Which players are getting halfway through DT2 without at least an MA1 cape and rune gloves ?

Does this mean im using harm at vesp even though the attack cycle is 1 tick longer than harm attack just like sang at akka butterfly? I hope it isnt because i cape switch after demon like everybody else and i wouldnt want to skip out on thralls at shamans and vanguards just so i can use firesurge with lick loss at vespula.

    I mean, the downgrade charts don't assume you downgrade everything to the minimum at the same time. If you own all max gear but just not a good helmet for example, that dwarven helmet with a crush weapon would still make slight sense. Very slight, but at least some.

    I thought gnomonkey was being intentionally obtuse about the recommended items chart but the end of the video made me not so sure. the dwarven helmet and fang both being the last item isn’t saying you should use them together, you’re supposed to use the leftmost item you have for each category. It’s still not great and has some mistakes, but it in no way is telling you to pair those two items together

    • @Mr_Spaghetti
      @Mr_Spaghetti 21 день тому

      and while that website is really cool and i’m gonna start using it, it also has some flaws. Like the difference between a 50M setup and a 100M setup for Phosani’s is it telling you to get Prims, which an algorithm might determine is the best DPS increase, but a person would tell you there are much better upgrade paths you should focus on first. Thats a flaw it shares with the wiki charts, no distinction of how important (or unimportant) each upgrade is.

    Bro the Wiki is modded by Redditors lmao. Hilariously enough, it used to be WAYYYY worse. I was straight up banned from editing because I kept trying to add a max efficiency setup for Zulrah several years ago but they kept taking it down because it was deemed too "inaccessible" for the average player. At least nowadays they're aware that having setups for all levels of account progression is good and not just gatekeeping everything to "accessible" setups, even if many of them are not very accurate.
    If more people start catching on to the GearScape tool, it basically just invalidates the Wiki's gear recommendations lmao. Now even the most obscure account build will be able to know exactly what to bring to every boss without having to rely on the Wiki's hilarious gear downgrade recommendations some of which make zero sense (like Dwarven Helm with Fang lol).

    Good video idea, bad call to action. These charts are good to have and are really useful for people who have pretty jank setups like ironmen. Making sure these get updated and adding more context would be a better thing to have than removing them. Zombie axe, macahuitl are both better than hasta. Putting the niche crush helm on a crush boss while using crush weapons is reasonable, and in several cases, better than Neitiznot. Fang is an unreasonable weapon that is viable in places it really shouldn't and when it was added to the chart, they didn't add a note. With the new weapons, fang wouldn't even make the chart and the note wouldn't even be needed. There's no reason to act braindead and call for the removal of something that you personally don't use or need. Most of your criticism comes into very small leaps in logic, guides on neglected content, or just things that are actually reasonable.

      The inclusion of unnecessary information is what is misleading, this is far from the worst chart. The toa guide says you can downgrade to diamond bolts from ruby bolts, which are more expensive, rarer, and far worse DPS. The nex guide has a downgrade from dragon defender to elysian spirit shield, an untradable and easy to obtain better option has a DOWNGRADE to something worth 600m - 1b.

      @@GnomonkeyRS you're fundamentally misunderstanding the use case for the charts. it's not "if you don't have a dragon defender, go get an elysian". It's just Defender > Elysian. So if i'm an ironman, who has had the time to get a sigil from corp, and am now going to Nex, I have a reference telling me that Elysian is useful, but sticking with the defender will be better long term.
      The Ruby bolts are just another thing needing notes, not removal. In most setups, it's better to take only ruby, since you are supplementing your range with other ranged weapons like blowpipe. With lower gear, surprise surprise, you would just bring diamond bolts alongside the ruby. You can even see an example of this in the lowest gear setup example on the toa guide.

      ​@@yuselescount2913 come on now, an iron that has gotten an ely but not a defender? That's ridiculous. The thing is that the ely is not useful, because its always beaten by an item that will be acquired in a couple weeks on any account. There is no scenario where you would ever bring it, hence the inclusion in the setup is just clutter.

      @@XxSupaBAMxX bro, you need to work on that reading comprehension. And you can't think of any reason to bring worse, but tankier gear into any fight? Especially one that gives direct Damage reduction and can be used easily with any combat style? none at all?

    It sure would be cool if people took the time to make the wiki guides better instead of spending that time making a video about how they’re bad.

    Wiki gearing guides are mostly bad due to them being the least effort being put into them. New gear is coming out all the time and high level pvmers will only say "use BiS"
