WIKI GUIDES: Phosani's Nightmare (OSRS)

[@TheL0rd0fSpace]

The monkey setup got Bass, and the wiki got Runite Ore, meaning the wiki setup had better gp/hr

[@AlexisPerez-k1r]

Big brain

[@shame1290]

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

[@matilyn_rf]

Wiki is def just alternatives for any slots you've been unlucky in-- for Irons, mainly.

[@usherif]

You can one shot the parasite with mace spec. But you need strength bonus and you have none lmaoo😂. Good video idea

thanks gnomonkey. i have been in the weirdest slump after getting my inferno cape in 13 attempts. lost motivation to do basically anything because my goal for 3 years was just… gone. pnm is exactly what i needed, and who better to teach me than you. also, your inferno guides really helped me (along with aaty’s FCF series). your knowledge of the game is unparalleled, and some of the little nuanced tips you give are much appreciated. you have helped me go from base toa pet and fire cape, to mogs and inferno cape, and for that i thank you.

Shoutout to GearScape and its amazing creator!

[@DaemonRayge]

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.

[@XxSupaBAMxX]

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.

[@jkil32]

Its always surprising to me how much people think gear is end all be all, when clearly skill and experience can make up for a lot!

[@dakotafrederick4909]

Wonderful series idea, loved it.

[@BWTHeuSeD]

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.

[@Firescout23]

It already does exactly that just below the chart

[@CatnamedMittens]

It mentions that

[@sirgarde2293]

Yeah he's just completely ignoring the context provided by the article.

[@fabiopauli420]

For those wanting to know: the first boss OST is from "Hollowknight:" track "Mantis lords"

[@Thirtys_]

im in for the long haul of this series i think this is fucking gold

[@JesseHDG]

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.

[@Percules777]

That “get setup” for X amount of gp is a dope feature

[@halotango3]

please next do the stratagy guide for Wispherer, i honstly dk if thats even mathimatically possiable it has "WIZARD BOOTS" on it. Bro, WIZARD BOOTS

[@astrosurfer]

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 ?

[@fabiopauli420]

@@astrosurfer im suprised you didnt mention the Rune Thrownaxe spec weapon. clearly the best spec weapon in the game

[@astrosurfer]

​@@fabiopauli420 That's just for the ghost special. They're actually the second best option for that purpose behind venator bow if you're not using any other spec weapon, since they'll one-shot one full group of ghosts per spec.

would help if you read the extra notes on the wiki which literally explain the reason for the downgrade suggestions. nt though

[@XMoeiskingX]

[@BenHCapen]

I like that for gear, but I think the thing I use the wiki page for most is my iron man. I like knowing what's second BIS, even specifically at PNM (never got a bludgeon). maybe they could make one for irons that takes collection log data to suggest gear?

[@yuselescount2913]

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.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

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.

[@yuselescount2913]

@@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.

[@XxSupaBAMxX]

​@@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.

[@yuselescount2913]

@@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?

You are the perfect person te ask this. In the rebalance they said vespula has a new added fire weakness of 50%. 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. My follow up question would be why add all this if it doesnt work? Is it a lower lvl thing im not seeing?

This is a hilariously bad take. You took all of the context of the article out. If you were learning PNM you would read the article top to bottom to understand how the fight works. It explains a blowpipe/3tick range weapon is crucial, it explains what mage gear to prioritise, literally right below the equipment list. If you are going to make these videos, at least read the fuckin page a little bit other than just looking at the photo.

[@crgregoawk]

Please make this a series lol this is was such a great video

[@laranjo5999]

Btw, now imagine using these setups without a maxed account (which anyone using this gear will not have)... Lmao the wiki setups are something else

[@Mr_Spaghetti]

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]

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.

[@gaufill]

I never took the charts as exact thing. They are rough guidelines, and downgrades are just that - downgrades. Also, some people actually have restricted accounts to where they can’t get tons of items a maxed main obviously can get.

[@sirpwnsalotiii781]

Tbh the wiki charts are okay when you arent using the worst possible downgrade in every category. But that requires a tiny bit of brainpower to decipher them yourself. ;)
