Fully Testing The Phantom Guardian! - Surprising Results!

[@MeesterWasbever]

Not sure if anyone said this yet, but the 10% with crossed swords means 10% of your ability damage, not PVP

[@pondracek]

Was going to post exactly this. Init can have some brain farts from time to time, this is just identical in function to how other conjures scale with ability damage, as does haunt.

[@killler240]

I wish Jagex just stole the setup from the Alt1 add-on for Necro. Way better than the buff bar

[@Numb986]

What add-on are you referring to?

@@Numb986 My message is a bit old, he has updated it to an even better version "Job Gauges" which support mage and range... really putting Jagex to shame :/

[@RmtCtrl]

very nice with aegis and hellhound but is pretty minimal, think they should work more on the other styles for now though

[@yt.personal.identification]

The buff bar is the real battle.

[@grinx1234]

I think make it 7% and make it auto fire when the stack reach its custom limit you set 25 or below as its command

[@LTAT42069]

I use the Alt1 Toolkit plug-in for Necromancy to keep track of conjures, souls, stacks, and bloat because it is so difficult.

[@josh2053]

i dont doubt they'll bring out a necklace or something that'll make it stronger, or a "greater phantom solider" ability

[@chaosfox8832]

I was happy to see they didn't overtune it. 5% is a noticeable aid without being broken. I do wish though just for the sake of consistency (aura, hellhound) that it worked on typeless damage. Another exception to remember.

[@charlessouth6488]

What’s worse about the buff bar is that for those of us on mobile you’re capped out at seeing whatever highest 5-6 buffs are active. You really have to go into settings and then off as many as you can and you’ll still have too many buffs to be able to see everything you need

[@normalcommenter8595]

time to download Nyus job gauge for necromancy init!

[@deadlyarc]

Alt1 has a plugin specifically for necro and its stacks stuff also with a bloat timer

[@Vybzy1]

Fact is it will shine at long fights. Zuk, fight caves, telos, arch glacor.

[@eChuckNorris]

Awesome! Necro was definitely lacking aoe options...😂

[@trevorbouchard2272]

Threads of fate soul sap volley and spectral scythe wasn’t enough? Lol

[@eChuckNorris]

@trevorbouchard2272 it's difficult to portray sarcasm in text :D not everyone gets it. Necro has insane aoe options already.

[@ChronoSquare]

I think in flights with multiple or fast hits it can be useful to command it. Had Vindicta reaper, tried it there; i swear there was one kill where it got to 25 stacks twice in its life... Of course, part of that was my fault, as standing in the lines of dragon fire rack it up but that also really starts to hurt...! Now i finally have my collection log complete with only 452 kills counted lol (not sure if that includes the 49 hard mode kills)

[@jubul666]

The crossed swords dont mean 10 reduction in pvp it is showing that the cap is 10% of you ability damage, as in the stat on the player card so it is buffed by your necro level, weapons and armor, overloads and even the equilibrium aura So if you ability damage is 2000 the max it can reduce any hit is 200

[@thelurkerbel0w]

I think at 25, it should give you something like reflect

[@iemandandersonline583]

It took over an year to make this 4th conjure, I give it a 2 out of 5 stars for looks, and 1 out of 5 stars for usefullness. Cant believe it toke over a year to make this.....

[@yoyoyo-r3m]

Jagex should add a whole new tab just for your summons/buffs for only them. because it is very cluttered mixed in with all the buffs. I always have troubles looking too see if my summons are about to fall apart/or if i need re summon, and looking for necroses stacks in all that mess lmao, i gave up and just started counting too much clutter. All in All yes Please Tidy up the Buff Bar, its Very hard to Quick Glance and try to read 1/3 Diff Buffs Cluttered with 20 others. Love the video.

[@benlunaris]

So a summonable Dinh's Bulwark? Interesting...It might be good if they add shields under the lantern orb ui on the character to show how many stacks it has but so far it seems like a bit of extra def during multi-hit fights. Shame it doesn't effect typeless The damage is pretty abysmal so without it being an agro ability to give you a breather

[@yoyoyo-r3m]

good for slayer, abby demons, lost grove, more afk. lol if you got 4 summons sure.

[@larson195]

Neat finally got the 4th summon be fun to do some more pvm! Also not a fan of the buff bar clutter for summon times etc.

[@gentle_singularity]

We waited an entire year for this?

[@johnbacon8394]

makes sense, they werent gonna give them a really op conjure, necro is strong enough as is.

[@glendick1579]

right!?!?!? thats how i felt

[@gentle_singularity]

@@johnbacon8394 Nah this is just lazy. Literally could have released with Necro or a month later at the most.

[@FIoppyWiIIy]

Not sure if its worth the extra 2 exctoplasm to make it 8 per conjure undead army cast in all honesty

[@carlost856]

It's very situational. I definitely won't be using it everywhere.

[@IIxIxIv]

Use anywhere you're eating food/using reaver scrolls. Decent AoE. Don't use when you can already heal everything back from soul split and ghost healing and aren't AoEing.

[@Glaceonics]

I'm sorry but it should've been much stronger. Either in damage at Max stacks or damage reflection. I've said this once and I'll say it again. Necromancy users die via executions, not paying attention or big hits from shit like Jad. They're almost never going to die in a Mob situation unless it's shit like Zuk and the phantom kinda hardly makes much of a difference. We waited a year, and essentially got the equivalent of Bloodbornes wooden shield.

[@ocdetailsautomotivedetaili1781]

how do you allow all 4 to be conjoured?

[@CasualGuidesRS3]

Right click conjure army and add phantom.

[@CrabLobsterCrustacean]

It's capped at 10% of your ability damage, has nothing to do with pvp. All styles have that same icon if you hover over abilities.

[@melissagrenier2200]

We already have the ghost familiar and tank gear gives pvm damage reduction. We have soul split and darkness. The aegis aura exists (which normally isn't good). It'd be so hard to balance something like this because it's either going to be dogshit or trivialize the game. With everything that exists we have to think about what happens when a bunch of defensive buffs are stacked together. Don't want to make it so that players can afk anything and everything. If I had to guess they went for the tank route because necromancy dps is good already. Maybe they thought that a 4th dps conjurer would be too much? If so then maybe we should've waited longer on this? Even though we've waited a long time already.

[@ReaperClues]

Get alt1 and the jobs plug in for necro stacks

[@twindrags1]

6:01 Not only the Buff Bar clutter, but also having the Overhead HP etc of yourself covered by anything Conjure related (Their duration, effects etc) is both annoying and redundant, imho.

[@cheekyjebus5559]

Good for hardcores, possibly not worth the ecto for mains

[@iamimbisile]

I honestly can’t believe they allow all 4 conjures at the same time. As if Necro didn’t already have enough utility. Meanwhile, melee struggles to compete with Necro DPS while at the same time wearing paper armour…

[@aaronw-arrior9974]

Melee not only competes. It beats it at high end

[@masengutormson2078]

Makes me mad that ranged poison stacking build gor nerfed. No reason to do it, it was do niche and still not better than necro but still buff necro.

[@00Dusty]

They may as well remove melee at this point it’s completely forgotten 🤷🏻‍♂️ also why dose necro need more!!! It already has darkness, t90 tank armour which staked with bonfire and thermal spring boost its like 20k hp
