ye u can but its slower method since you only get 1 at a time. this method is 2x mushrooms can just crush while running. but thats an easier method yes if you dont wana sweat it. 2:51

@@RiceCup oh sweet! Must’ve been going so fast I didn’t even realize. Thanks for the new info brotha 😎🤙🏼

only on paper it is, its close to scythe though in real situation

ive tested both in real situations and id say scythe is a bit more bis than shadow at real sire. the dps cals severely underestimate how much defence plays a role at sire so you are forced to heal more and lose dps with shadow a bit more often. theyre both really close in reality despite what dps cal shows. especially because youll lower its def most of the time with bgs/hammer that scythe dps is higher most of the time anyways. dps cals should only be viewed as more of a rough idea and when i say bis i mean bis in a real situation not on paper.

@@RiceCup i agree on the healing for the last parts, but P2 with shadow doesn't really have that issue. I think I've used maybe 5 pieces of food in the last 200-300 kc since switching to P1/P2 shadow, P3/P4 melee. I do poh resets, so I can get a hit off a tick or so early with shadow while running in, and then I just melee when it goes to center to have that defence. There's also something to be said about dps specs on P4 like VW/claws vs dwh/bgs on P2 to maximize scythe dps. Those big hits can overtake the dps you gain with scythe using the def reduction in some situations. Kinda depends on how much other bis stuff you have, but that half and half mage/melee and using specs for final phase ending has been working pretty well for me with my method/setup. I can't speak as much for multi kill trips though. I just bring a couple sharks and leave my inventory empty to minimize bank trips, and I've really only done that method for my 1500 or so kc.

Based on poh method which i agree the most part@@Inscipio but most kills per hour is just camping the boss so you'd definitely want to camp melee on both phases. The spec stuff you mentioned isn't going to save more time vs just staying at the boss so especially since u can wear lb during vents and have a spec most kills w/o poh for example. So to clarify i meant bis in a real situation doing the most kills/h method.

@@RiceCup yeah Id agree that the overall lower damage taken when staying for extended trips definitely outweighs the on paper dps increase from shadow. Especially with torva's insane defence. I just like giving alternate methods/perspectives for people who may do things similarly to me. Most people don't seem to want to run calcs and then test methods out. People just kind of do things the way someone else did even if they are doing a different method, so I like throwing out extra info where I can in case it helps someone. Loved the vid btw. I finally finished my mega rare set recently and got my own scythe, so more info on its post-buff strengths was awesome to see.

something to consider - scy powers up a lot as you gain strength bonuses, so if you're early into a rebuild its better to do spam stuff like guantlet & zalcano then if you'll do those bosses at all during the rebuild.

what bosses you starting with for rebuild?

@@WhoisGhetto solo/group cox with scythe, cerb tasks, vardorvis and gonna start tob

Probably the worst of all of them to rebuild on

@jordankerslake7374 for sure in terms of full blown rebuild. I have a t bow I soloed a while back. T bow and scythe has been a blast to use for rebuilding main gear so far. At least for solo olm. Looking forward to getting into tob

oh leme fix that

customisable xp drops, and make sure u click show predicted hit

i don't do red x stuff at all so i doubt i did anything lol. accidental clicks probably

@RiceCup oh ok i saw you red clicking a vial on the base tile a few dodges in a row on a clip in the vid lol, I just automatically assume whatever you're doing is genius 😄

definitely if you're going to use it a lot

@@RiceCupthanks. Love your videos, always super good and efficient educational content

If you’re not doing tob or farming vard/duke then I wouldn’t buy it, invest elsewhere

​@@user-fp7to2hp3x what he said ^

yes it was worth that much in 2018 its even more worth it in 2024

It’s niche and colloseum releasing soon people selling off niche/useless gear

@@user-fp7to2hp3x you think I should hold or dump?

no you can't even poison the boss. the helm is a cheaper alternative thats pretty much it.

@@RiceCup hmm, the wiki says duke is not immune, maybe it needs updating

@@meller7303 i meant venom, the poison dmg isnt even worth it imo. you do easily more dmg with helmets that give more max hits.

@@RiceCup not trying to be pedantic or anything, but the thing is the serp doesn’t lose a max hit over torva in this case So you end up dealing more dps given a bit of poison. I could be wrong, I literally only killed quest duke haha. But BIS is BIS, and you seem to be a guy who really enjoys getting the best setup possible

serp helm does not have the same max hit. serp only gives you 49 vs torvas 50 and it's very rare serp will ever match the max torva helm. Torva helm is 8 str vs serps 5, it's a big difference - pretty much a max hit always over serp. Also, it really depends on exactly what gear you have, serp helm easily loses max hits on most setups. so it's not really the best argument just because you'd have to be awfully specific to even argue that serp is bis. @@meller7303

technically it's higher dps (very small difference), but youll have to spam blood fury the whole time with inquisitor as it's paper defence and you're forced to eat more mid kill. Where vs Torva, you just tank cerb. i've tested both setups at the real boss. Torva in a real situation was alot more consistent, and rarely needed blood fury. but you can use whichever suits you as inquisitor is a lot cheaper to buy if normal account.

@@RiceCup ahh okay makes sense, thanks man!

yes to both

yeh thats most likely not guna happen lol, the idea was mainly for low level players so i dont see them making it work for every level / weapon

It better happen. It just makes sense

@@rezavaziri6900it doesnt lol even yo mama so fat could doge a scyth swing

sounds like 2 questions. i think the most important question is which type of game play is most fun to you. the buy stuff and use it kind of game play or the grind for the items and use it kind of game play. that's all you really need to figure out - what makes the game most fun for you. you don't have to do raids if yo don't want, it's your choice.
