[@Zxv975]

16:30 Gnome is talking about Fang having a "low max hit". This isn't the whole story, because all of the max hits removed get added to the minimum hit instead. Even if the Fang has a "lower max hit", the AVERAGE hit (which is what you *actually* care about for calculating DPS) is the same. There are many situations (happens about 1/6th of the time) where gaining 4 strength bonus doesn't increase your max hit, but instead it gives a minimum hit (which still has the same effect on your dps). Mathematically, the difference between minimum hits and max hits is that the weapon is more consistent (less variance) and the chance of an abnormally long kill is lower. Conversely, the weapon has less potential to pop off (the hits are closer to your average hit). It also makes Fang a bad warden core weapon, which encourages weapon variety at ToA.

[@Dylesxic]

I'm not disagreeing with you but I feel the need to say something to defend his point. Although he didn't explain it well, he had good intention. The idea being not bringing the fang somewhere where you're fighting against low defense is that generally you're missing out on the increased dps a 4 tick weapon would give. Even whip is higher dps in a lot of cases where there's a low defense monster, slayer comes to mind for that.

[@Zxv975]

@@Dylesxic that is due to the power budget for fang coming primarily from the double accuracy roll and *not* the max / min hit swapping, which makes very little difference to dps in the grand scheme of things (it affects overkill calcs and that's it). I agree with Gnome on that point, hence why I didn't comment on it. I was strictly talking about people getting confused about fang max hits and routinely ignoring min hits. I similarly had to correct Reynolds on his budget ToA video. In there he was talking about a setup that wasn't gaining max hits with like +6 str bonus and reasoning that the upgrades didn't matter. However, he didn't realise that the setup was actually gaining min hits, so the dps difference did exist. I actually have a custom fork of the dps spreadsheet that I maintain which has minimum hits explicitly shown to help remind me that they exist.

[@evghb]

The argument about DPS vs. Defence can be very succinctly illustrated in one thought experiment of extremes. Would you rather be able to one-shot a boss, or never take damage while only dealing 0? The answer is obvious, so the answer remains obvious when the conditions are shifted toward reality.

[@1tubax]

In reality you want a happy medium between the two. It just happens that most strength optimized setups already have more than enough defence to reach that happy medium.

I wouldn't really push past that until you have fang. It's possible but it'll be miserable.

As he said just keep pushing at your current level, I just ran 330's instead of 350/360 till fang but I got hella lucky at 30kc. I found anything higher than 330 was just taking significantly longer but I only had a d sword. Fang has now allowed me to push 400+ it's a game changer in terms of time for kephri, baba, akkha cum phase.

[@Autoswitched]

Mixed hide is worse dps (Marginally, 0.01 lol) with fang compared to bandos if using any pieces of mixed hide loses you a max hit. If your max hits are the same it's around an 11-15 second time save for melee rooms. Bandos unironically is better because you save more time face tanking ba-ba than red xing which is around a 30-45 second time save due to 5t attack speed vs 6t, you cannot face tank with mixed hide without 5/1. You use more supplies but the supplies you used are made up for the fact monkey puzzle room is almost 0 supply now, and also using less prayer in kephri room,. Ba-ba damage through prayer changes makes it viable to face tank ba-ba even in 485s, keris will regen by the time you get low enough. You can use tank legs if tassets are not giving a max hit.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Yes, you lose a max hit but losing 1 max hit in gain of 4 restore for learners is better. Also you shouldn't be face tanking Baba as a learner. You should be red xing. 5:1 is better but you aren't going to get normal people to do it and definitely not in a budget learner guide when people already refuse to learn red x and butterfly

[@1894Stef]

Assuming I have both, is there any scenario where I would bring elder maul over BGS? It seems a single successful maul spec is enough to reach max defence reduction on all of the bosses. Does the doubled accuracy of BGS make it strictly better for all things TOA?

[@Shadowinair1]

Could you explain a bit more detailed what you mean by "mixed hide is tbow armor while blue moon is amazing with bowfa"?

[@LoLLhox]

it allows him to bring fewer switches. If you're using bowfa you need the crystal chest/legs for the damage and accuracy bonus, which means you bring blue moon chest/legs as a melee/mage hybrid switch as it has both magic damage and strength bonus. But if you have a bowfa then you don't need crystal armour which means you can bring a better mage switch and use mixed hide as a melee/ranged hybrid for the strength and attack bonuses. Doing this frees up a few slots for more supplies.

There are a few problems with the mixed hide versus bandos. 1. Mixed hide is only good in perfect play patterns(red x baba, butterfly akkha, tick perfect attacks on core, prayer flicking in a near maxed difficulty raid) 2. Bandos for its price point does a few things nice such as (tanking baba, tanking agiles on kephri, gives str bonus for easy 2-3 downs on core) 3. If you are playing in mixed hide with two mega rare weapons, red x baba, bf akkha, almost every room is a zero damage room and at that point it doesn't matter what you are wearing because you aren't under any dps checks. Theres no threats. 4. The main point in the guide in which you posted as a "mixed hide meta" is the gear. Most players don't have "mega weapon" meanwhile your guide solely stands on the basis of having 2 coming together around 3b for both. While doing a raid that offers hardly any if not any gp. Conclusion. I like the follow up video (this one) as a more realistic set up of an average player and i think this should be the video that is show to others when practicing or messing around within tombs. This set up is realistically good for casual 300 invo or lower easily. And most players will find that the gear choices within this video are more readily available. A lot of people watch your videos for item suggestions or help understanding content. While i feel your do offer a lot of good advice your last tombs video with the mixed hide was right with accurate information about itemization but it was wrong suggestion to majority of players. I have roughly 1k tombs kc and i usually play with randoms or friends. And i have seen so many people come in with a mixed hide set up with a fang , trident, blowpipe getting absolutely railed and having a bad experience. Now let me be clear im not saying bandos would have made the experience perfect ot enjoyable. But it would have at least mitigated a lot of chip damage. You make good content and the community does agree with that. With that being said. Thank you for the content.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

If you are doing a 500 ToA there's no excuse not to be doing red x baba, and I also DIDN'T butterfly Ahkka showing that you still have plenty of supplies to full tank him without Shadow. Mixed hide with mega rares are for people trying to get kits or farm like an average person because it does indeed give you the option to bring in 4 extra supplies. Switching to Bandos isn't going to give you anywhere near that value in brew/restore. I had Trident and BofA here and still didn't get DPS checked by Ahkka. Even if you do get checked, you can do the DPS skip, or Keris excessively because you have unlimited restores. These guides are for 500s. Can you use them in 300s without megas? Probably, but the strategy is different and the skill requirements are higher. I make guides to help people learn and give them tools. Not here to baby them and avoid learning difficult mechanics

[@bane4743]

@@GnomonkeyRS in the video showcasing mixed hide you did butterfly akkha. This one you did not. Which is why I think it's a better showcase to the average player aiming for kits.

But the players just aiming for that one kc for kits aren't going to. let's be realistic also with the changes to monkey room and babas hit % through prayer it's just faster to face tank baba. You might use 1 restore here but it saves the prayer camping and flicking on kephri if using bandos. Edit: the problem isn't the people going for kits which is what you stated. You made your intentions clear it's the influence you have on the community. People wear mixed hide because you said it was BiS (you aren't wrong with your numbers) but they don't know why it's BiS and are taking it into the raid without megas, without knowledge, without experience. Just to get rammed by baba, kephri, akkha and end up eating more often and being low on supplies or failing the encounter because they simply ran out.

[@erikstrand9876]

@@bane4743 he has been very clear that the mixed hide suggestion is for snagging your first 500's or farming. It's not his fault that people, like yourself, overlooked that part of the guide and now think mixed hide is good for 300's. His last video did indeed go over number calcs for why mixed hide is good at high invos, and why its bad at low invos. You should maybe rewatch it since you seem to have forgotten a lot of what was said

monkey room is guaranteed 1 shot (minus shamans) as long as you use the correct attack style - idk why you're questioning it

ik you prob won't see this late but if you do, what about us non yellow keris havers 😅

Don't do a 500 ToA, on a budget, without a yellow Keris. That's my advice LOL

@@GnomonkeyRS so why appease the people who don't enjoy the raid to lower the value for the people that do. Seems odd to say "hey well we know this game is torture anyways so we are going to minimize the torture" might as well log off. I am hit with that weird feeling after running the raid almost 200 times, now with the changes, after trying to improve my ability in that room, like I was expecting an extra step at the bottom of the stairs. I'm like woah where is the rest of the room. You did mention in the video that Jagex has a limited scope, they can't do everything perfectly, and maybe you are right all things considered that monkey room is better this way for a technical majority of the player base. But the specific changes they made feel very heavy handed. It is a dramatically different room. More different than any of the previous changes, which I thought all preserved something essential about the room.

@@Tatercon i have a hard time believing people think monkey room is that bad when CoX and its insane jank exists. Yea i mean whatever its all preference I guess but they really just gutted the room, like they desperately needed to change it. I dont understand why they amputated a limb before exploring other options.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

I don't know a single person who enjoys monkey room other than a handful of people like Reynolds. The room is shit, always has been. Nylos is a good example of wave based play done properly. CoX puzzle rooms are ass too.
