EOC Complete Setup


So basically they're saying that they're introducing abilities/action bars and etc.

So all in all the current beta right now won't have any major changes in F2P. There will still be action bars etc etc etc.

Ok so back to the main topic:



Melee/Magic Style

This bar below is called your Adrenaline.


Something to keep in mind before you read below. Always try to reach as much Adrenaline that you can, the higher Adrenaline you have, the more and powerful abilities you can use (Especially your ultimate). Always try to get enough so you can do Ultimate. This will be important for our already OP KO power.

Abilities

​You're ability tab should look like this



Magic Abilities

1. Impact (Your stun, you spam this on the target to stun)
2. Torture (You follow up your stun by this, so you can do more damage since target is stunned)
3. Combust (Another Ability that you can use to combo when yousing 1 & 2).
4. Asphyxiate (This is good when they are low on HP/redbarred and are trying to heal, you can stun them instantly while doing damage)
5. Omnipower (This is your ultimate, once you have a full max Adrenaline (basically your spec bar) you can use it to attack your target with this. This can deal damage between 1.5k - 3k)

Basic Attack & Food hotkey

Q. Fire Blast is what you spam alongside your magic abilities
W. Press that when you want to eat your full pizza
E. Press that when you want to eat your half pizza

Defence

A. Anticipation (Reduces any damage you take and also protects you from stuns for 10 Seconds. Use this when piled)
S. Guardian (You can break free from Binds/stuns. Use this when you get piled along with Anticipation)

Melee Ability

Z. Slice (Spam this when they switch to mage pray so you can get Adrenaline level faster compare to if you mage and they mage pray. I suggest using rapier/longsword or Gravite 2h)
X. Overpower (This is your Melee ultimate, like Omnipower once you have enough Adrenaline to do this it can deal up to 1.5k-3k Damage)



We already know Mage is OP as fuck currently. This Set-up enable us to overpower Melee with our Mage and also at the same time over-power rangers with our melee.

Gear Set-Up

Helm: Rune full helm
Top: Rune Platebody/Blue Dhide Top (to protect againt's magic attacks)/Batwing Torso (Switch to torso if blasting)
Bottom: Rune Plateleg/Blue Dhide bottom
Shield: Batwing boots
Weapon: Bat wand/Gravite Rapier
Boots: Batwing boots
Gloves: Batwing gloves
Amulet: Power amulet
Rings: Ring of devotion

Inventory:
Anchovy Pizzas
600 Fire Runes & 600 Air runes
Strength potion

Explanation: So basically when you are blasting, you can either blast in Rune platebody but if you aren't getting sniped put on your Batwing Torso as you can do more damage if you have that on.

When the opponent is mage praying, switch to your rapier(melee weapon) and spam your Z. It's up to you if you want to use Rapier or G2H.

When you are getting piled or getting sniped, slap on a blue dhide top and rune plateleg or you can go full dhide top and bottom and you can still blast.



Range/Melee Style

Abilities

Your bar should look like this



Range Attack Abilities

1. Binding Shot (This is your stun ability, it also binds your target for 20 seconds while also doing damage)
2. Fragmentation Shot (Just another ability you can use to do damage)
3. Bow Slot (Switch to this when you are ranging)
4. Melee Weapon Slot (Switch to this when you are meleeing)
5. Deadshot (Your ultimate ability, can do serious damage)

Basic Attack & Food hotkey

Q. Piercing Shot is what you spam alongside your range abilities
W. Press that when you want to eat your full pizza
E. Press that when you want to eat your half pizza

Defence

A. Anticipation (Reduces any damage you take and also protects you from stuns for 10 Seconds. Use this when piled)
S. Guardian (You can break free from Binds/stuns. Use this when you get piled along with Anticipation)

Melee Ability

Z. Kick (Kicks your target knocking them back and stunning for 3 seconds)
X. Smash ( Smashes your target dealing 125% melee damage and also disabling overhead prayer. It works like a Dragon Spear Spec)

Gear Set-Up

Helm: Rune full helm
Top: Rune Platebody/Blue Dhide Top
Bottom: Rune Plateleg/Blue Dhide bottom
Shield: None
Weapon: Gravite Shortbow/Shortbows & Gravite 2h/Rune 2h
Boots: Leather Boots
Gloves: Blue dhide vambraces
Amulet: Power amulet
Rings: Ring of devotion

Inventory:
Anchovy Pizzas
400 Adamant Arrows
Strength potion

Explanation: Shortbows are the best range weapon in Beta. LBS are useless as fuck as they are slow. I'd prefer if all rangers had Gravite Shortbow and a 2h weapon preferrably Gravite but if you don't have much tokens and don't want to risk gravites, use Rune 2h. Basically with this setup, rangers can rip on magers and other rangers easy. Rangers don't have to worry about not doing much damage to Meleer's in full rune because our Melee/Magers will take care of them.

Like the meleers, rangers can get Adrenaline much faster than magers. So take advantage of your spammables especially your Q & 1 and also when you switch to your melee weapon.





[big]SIDENOTE:[/big] STOCK UP ON BLUE D'HIDE SETS THEY'RE 12K ATM AND WILL RISE ONCE IT BECOMES F2P IN EOC, as for the Batwing items, make sure you buy them as soon as EOC releases. I'd suggest playing a bit in EOC so you can get used to it.

[color:d11e=#fff]Introduction:

Welcome to my F2P warring guide post-EoC, I am going to discuss methods for warring in the new combat system. A lot of new items have been released or made F2P due to the EoC and will make warring change a lot. To be successful with the EoC you need a very good knowledge of the combat triangle. Unfortunately now that some previously P2P items and now F2P, some gravites are less effective or considered useless. Please take into consideration I have tested out these methods and compared a lot of different armour mixes to come up with these as an all around best method. If you have any questions I will answer to the best I can. I will add to this as soon as I know more methods to warring.


[color:d11e=#fff]Armour and Weapons:

A lot of new armour and weapons have been introduced into the F2P game, I'm going to show you examples of the two main setups for CWA, including optional tweaks.


This for me is the most effective Blast and Bind setup, it doesn't have the highest magic attacking stats, however it is only a few points off and will leave a large amount of inventory space. The only exception to a shield at this point would be the Batwing Book, it means you can throw blasts twice as fast as usual and gives a magic bonus. I recommend Rune Full Helm instead of a Batwing Hood because the Hood gives no bonuses to magic attack. Power amulet > Arcane Blast Necklace, the Black Necklace only gives a 0.5% boost to the 'Critical' section of the screen and a power amulet gives a +1 Prayer bonus, I rate that more important. Blue d'hide vambraces make it easier to tank and the extra bonus from Batwing gloves isn't useful. I don't recommend Rune Gauntlets anymore. You now only need 3 Air runes and 3 Fire runes to throw a blast spell and 1 Nature rune for a bind. Tanking in the EoC is all about having a balance in the defences, meaning you can focus on prayer switching and eating with no need to equip massive amount of armour, this setup already has equal defensive stats therefor you will not need to equip any armour.



Nothing in this setup should be changed except for the shortbow, Gravite is slightly better than Magic so if you have it, use it. Longbow sights are now useless, they give a slight defence bonus but are far too slow and the DPS is a lot better on Gravite Shortbow and Magic Shortbow. The batwing gloves don't change anything on the set except reduce the amount of items needed to swap into to tank. Gravite 2H is now the best sword as far as DPS does in F2P, rapier and longsword are about equal to each other but a fair bit worse than G2H.



It looks a bit stupid, but this is the smallest amount of armour to switch into to make your defensive abilities all even.


[color:d11e=#fff]Tanking

Tanking as a whole is still very similar, however with abilities you must now put a lot more effort in.
Defensive abilities are just as important as eating in this, although there are only two useful abilities I strongly recommend you use them.

-Anticipation, reduces all damage taken by 10% and provides immunity to stuns for 10 seconds. 24 second cool down.
- Freedom, an ability which allows you to break free of stuns and clears 'Damage over time' effects. 30 second cool down.

The method is to activate quick prayers, use the anticipation ability, equip tank gear, run and eat whilst swapping prayers accordingly whilst using the Freedom ability when needed.


[color:d11e=#fff]Action Bar:

These are the action bars recommended for both styles as well as what the abilities do.
