I've been trying to send some Cerberus kills when I get hellhounds and I am averaging maybe 3-4 KC per trip and ~17 KC an hour. I am doing 2:1 with arclight/thralls, but this seems insane. Any advice?
#Cerberus low KC per trip

Ppl do like death piles with looting bags for longer trips i think
If u have wraths from vork or smth u can use offering to save ppots as well
full gust
No wraths unfortunately. So without looting bag, do you know if my kills per trip/hour is about expected?

What's limiting your trips, ppots or food?
full gust
Food mostly. I flick the ghosts right and usually avoid too much damage from the lava
rigid ether
I'm getting roughly 4-6kc trips with slightly lower stats and gear, tho sometimes Dog just bites hard and I run out of food before that
full gust
Just feels like cerb smacks me constantly
rigid ether
You're stabbing right?
Also might wanna consider bringing dds to spec with, or at least I do and it's doing quite good work
full gust
Yep I stab.
rigid ether
Thralls? Death charge? Ward of Arceuus?
I haven't actually tried the last of em but 10% dmg reduction should be pretty ok
(I assume thralls cause book of the dead)
full gust
I use thralls. Haven't bothered with death charge because I've been using arclight spec. Haven't tried ward

BCP and torture will both help
For example, here's an old AF pic I took of the DPS calc
Upgrading from bgloves to feros adds 3 max hits in some intervals
And that's a worse upgrade than fury to torture actually
(by a very very small amount)
You rly don't wanna miss out on those 3 max hits, so definitely get it. The BCP will help with defense
full gust
I've been killing bandos to try to get it but no luck yet. Should I hold off on cerb till I get those 2 upgrades?
low mountain
Yes, boots are basically cosmetic
umbral phoenix
I did loot bag drop with ghost skip it was really chill got like 20+ kills a trip I feel like
low mountain
Torture is a good upgrade
Should def have it + other three zenytes at 93 Slayer, surprised you don't actually
rigid ether
Tort
low mountain
Torture
rigid ether
I did loot bag drop with ghost skip it was really chill got like 20+ kills a tri...
I don't like spending three times the time on kills tho >:(
Could just get ppots and then do cerb normally
and be faster :D
low mountain
The 934 kills part is the more interesting one
I think you can have around 2-2.5k kc between 73 and 93 Slayer
I assume you started tasks at like 85 Slayer
full gust
i didnt start em till much later
yeah procrastinated on mm2 for a long time
my account was old and i only recently got into playing more efficiently
low mountain
Regardless, torture is definitely the amulet to make first 😛
It speeds up Slayer because you can't speed up mage slayer with zenytes before 93 Slayer
And you barely range on task besides shamans/demonics
Torture helps the most with speeding up every melee task, which is the majority of Slayer
full gust
is*
low mountain
No worries
Hope you get another zenyte soon 🙏
I def agree with putting off Cerb for a bit, cuz the boots are rly not that big
rigid ether
Meanwhile Venator bow go brrrt even at this very moment over here
low mountain
Nice upgrades but not essential
full gust
so i also made ros for zulrah before reading its a noob trap
so i also dont have anguish
low mountain
xd
full gust
would torture still be 1st?
low mountain
Depends on how much more you plan to do Slayer I guess
And how you plan on doing it
But I'd prob make torture or anguish first and then the other one second
full gust
Makes sense. The plan was to make anguish first since I thought it had more use cases
low mountain
If you're closer to PVM prob tho depends on the exact PVM
full gust
And figured it'd be much more useful to have once I hit 95 for hydra assuming i keep going dry
low mountain
Tho ideally ur gonna want both if you do raids
Ah yea so fang hydra > hasta piety hydra = fbow EE hydra
where that > is like 15-20%
hasta is basically equal to fbow, slightly worse in some intervals but slightly better in others (depends on stats, but ofc melee xp is harder to get than ranged xp is)
full gust
Interesting So ideally, get both anguish and torture, farm toa for fang, and that puts me in a good spot for hydra
low mountain
yea exactly tho there other options since you've done a lot of slayer already
so the benefit to slayer itself is less
regardless before doing a lot of pvm prob best to finish off those two zenytes
might take you to 95 slayer anyway
both have a lot of uses so that's really nice
full gust
Gotcha. As an aside, best to block hellhounds for now then?
low mountain
It will slow down getting zenytes but if you're OK with it you could prob still do tasks idk
Up to you, it will be lower kills/trip for sure tho yeah
I'd prob block again unfortunately, if you have the points for it
full gust
Oh yeah I've got plenty of points (inefficient me never skipped a task) so thats no problem
low mountain
Oh yea that might actually explain why you only have like 900ish kc as well haha
Yea def block
If you're OK with doing Cerb in slightly worse gear it's not the end of the world ofc
Just gotta accept shorter trips but it's totally fine if you want to 🤷♂️ haha
I did Cerb in welfare gear back when that was the only option realistically
full gust
Nah these trips have been miserable tbh, I was hoping someone would tell me to come back later haha
low mountain
🫡 nice yeah
full gust
oh lord that sounds awful
low mountain
back when arclight didn't work on cerb xd
it was similar to you, around 8-10 kill trips
no arceuus spellbook
def wait a bit and it'll be a lot less annoying I think
full gust
Sounds like a plan. Thanks as always para
