Also does anyone know of a dps calculator, that has the debuff built into it?

dark knoll
#

yes but its not worth using

naive wave
#

Why not? I'm doing mage tank inferno, switching my blood sceptre for the shadow sceptre seems like no difference.

dark knoll
#

where are you getting air runes from?

#

whats your actual accuracy on zuk as is, and with shadow spells, and post reduction?

#

you probably lose more time trying to hit than you gain

naive wave
#

Change water runes to Mist. Will take 5 mins to craft 16k of them with Twisted ess

#

I don't know because I can't find a calculator with the shadow spell built into it.

dark knoll
#

you can calc what the equivalent bgs damage would be and use that

#

26 bgs hit

naive wave
#

Oh then it doesn't work on zuk then

dark knoll
#

in wiki calc?

naive wave
#

yeah

dark knoll
#

i wonder if thats bc it knows bgs is a melee weapon

#

actually just use the vulnerability toggle

#

thats also 10%

naive wave
#

yeah that doesn't work either.

#

vulnerbility doesn't increase the dps

dark knoll
#

it's reducing the defence roll in my calc

#

before/after

naive wave
#

Oh i see, because u have bowfa. Im killing it with eye.

dark knoll
#

oh, then shadow sceptre won't affect dps yeah

#

because its based on NPC magic level

naive wave
#

I see.

dark knoll
#

accursed sceptre/eye spec are the only options there

naive wave
#

I think that's worth bringing though for a bowfa cape.

#

cuz confliction gauntlets will let you hit the shadow barrage fairly easily

#

Thank you for the help!

dark knoll
#

you have a 17.77% avg accuracy approx, so say 5 hits to hit on avg, which takes 15 seconds, to save approx 15 seconds (less realistically because defence levels will regen over the kill)

#

with this gear, and a lot of people drop top/bottom

naive wave
#

Good point. Not worth it then, thank you.

dark knoll
#

good luck 🫡

naive wave
#

Will get this cape one day.

dark knoll
#

no shadow no heart is real rough :(

naive wave
#

Yes, thankfully i got the heart a few days ago.

ngl i am so confused at wtf is happening in your screenshot

#

are ppl actually sending this setup with such terrible dps that the set spawns while ur jad is still alive

naive wave
#

it was my first 2 times i made it to zuk, i didn't even know how the spawns worked. With 100 eye dmg and Accursce sceptre spec you have more dps then bowfa.

#

Yes it would be good if you were ranging zuk, you also shouldn't look at TTK because you can do it while sets are paused. That time is essentially infinite, your goal isn't to kill zuk as fast as possible

#

Also shadow ancient sceptre is -16.5% def, not 10%.

dark knoll

#

But the conclusion is correct, shadow sceptre won't do anything when maging zuk

#

(I believe milking ralos specs is the meta strat for pures doing inferno)

#

Mage accuracy is not affected by defense so I don't understand what the point of this question even is

dark knoll
#

they didnt know that when they asked

sullen quest
#

if ur using ayak i feel that is really the question if u should spec with that

#

but this isint convetional mage tank i see ur using range gear for zuk and ayak tank for waves?

#

Can you post your setup? Im seeing some flaws with your setup

(Setup going into wave 1)
