Hello, already 99 range and only 82 att/88 str, Is meleeing lizardman shaman tasks at all viable? Would prefer to get some melee xp while i go for hammer - might have fang by the time I do this grind

Yes, not only is it viable but it's actually also good

#

Competes nicely with fbow for DPS

#

(assuming Piety vs Eagle Eye)

#

Something like this with hasta (or fang tho 4t vs 5t is annoying)

#

This pic predates Vile Vigour; I've heard rumors that you can use that instead now

#

I haven't tried it though

#

Wouldntr vile vigour just ddrain your pray? why not just user energy pots at that stafge

#

Also any vids of it? how wold I dodge stomp attack?

#

jumps are dodged same as normal, melees are avoided by flinching the shaman

#

same as you do for steel dragons with hasta

#

and ofc verzik if you have any tob exp

#

No EXP sadly.. Just hit, walk back then hit again after 5 ticks assuming im using a fang?

Great thanks for that, looks really good

#

you can probably outheal that with b2p/potato drops

#

if not you can try the 2 step

#

or just use 4t melee weapon e.g. hasta/dsword

Parasialer, i tryed lizardman shamns in the old caves. Was so good with melee there

#

If they are in bad spot, just lure them when you go outside the door and back in again, and just eat to save ticks

#

And every wall there is safespor

Ah I haven't tried that
The purples are 3x3 or 5x5 there, right? Not 2x2 like temple

#

So I guess gotta be a bit more careful

#

wait... temple shaman spawns are 3x3 explosions? well shit i feel dumb for using the slayer cave now

#

they are 5x5 there

pale dawn
#

They are the same as canyon shamns

#

But also you just get them to wall anwyays, when he spawns purppe, you just go tro him
