It's worth noting that with the elemental spells all having the same damage cap, they're scaled to the highest version of the spell you have. Meaning air strike doesn't hit 8's immediately; it gets stronger as you unlock the higher hitting spells until you reach fire strike, at which point they all hit 8. It was something I was worried about and I'm really glad Jagex found such an elegant solution for it :)
hi, i enjoyed the video and info in it, but i think you misunderstood how the dmg rolls work now. it was supposed to be 0-11 --> 1-10 but they made updated it to instead of rolling 0 you roll a 1. so in case you have max hit of 5, previously after passing accuracy check you would hit one of these numbers 0,1,2,3,4,5 where as now its 1,1,2,3,4,5 which makes it very impactful at low lvls, but doesnt change much at later stages of the game
I'll be honest, I was waiting to dive into these new changes until your video dropped. You always do such an amazing job breaking down the changes for a lad like me who can't find enough time to read over blog posts and test stuff in-game. Keep it up champ, you're big day is coming
I remember panicking the whole time that the changes to magic damage would make it too hard to kill Whisperer since it wasn't getting an elemental weakness and I didn't have BIS gear. Turns out at the end of the day I lose *0.5% damage* , not even sure that's a max hit.
@@garrettthomas5039 a hundred. but they couldve added, and maybe make them less percentages like they did with the bosses. ( instead of 50% went to 30%) idk it just makes sense, falmes having a fire element lol
Honestly i'm so happy to see well thought out changes to breathe some new life into the game. It's so easy to mess up yet because they actually listened to the community it all turned out really well! It's a good day to be a scaper~
Great video and explanation, but the bit about elemental spell balance, I realize fire strike and air strike will ultimately have the same max hit, but it is based on your level, correct?
Ive been testing barrows runs with the chaos gauntlets, it is definitely a good early/cheap build, I was still keeping up with toxic trident in damage with mystic/occult/imbue god cape
Im debating if the elemental weaknesses didn’t go far enough or didn’t get more specific or if they’re being cautious so people don’t go full fever spiders
The minimum hit thing reducing your "max hit" is ridiculous though. I see why, to keep damage the same while making accuracy make more sense. But it makes max hit make less sense. If they kept max hits the same, and had the nee min hit of 1, it would be trivially different.
The changes to kephri (fire) and Baba (ranged heavy) dont really make a difference to the meta for toa. This update was great, but it feels like it's only part 1 of a more global introduction of type weaknesses
Every video I see on air being the same str as fire now on all levels has completely left out fire surge and wind surge is it the same for surge spells?
You mentionned kalphites as being vulnerable to fire spells, but unfortunately that isn't the case. For some reason KQ and her brood all have no fire weaknesses.
The graphic at 12:28 implies that max hits have been reduced by 1 to compensate for the minimum hit adjustment, but that's not what happened. They just changed every 0 hit roll to a 1...
Mole being weak to water makes absolutely no sense. Moles live in wet moist environments on top of that they can swim. Not a scientist but if you can swim I don't think you're weak to water 😂
Kinda blows my mind that they went with metal dragons being weak to earth instead of fire lol. Feel like earth spells should be powerful against ghosts/spiritual creatures
Hey! Even though I felt a little rushed to get this out, it took me a long time to put together so let's see if we can hit 12 likes ❤
Liked and subbed. Good content creater on the rise
I hope they add elemental spells for weapons. Like make a iron sword a iron sword (water) for a certain amount of time

Evolution of combat, but done right this time 12 years later
This
I appreciate how insightful and concise your updates are, keep it up 🙌🏼😄
Worth the wait! I’d seen some other videos on this but they were mostly on the magic changes. Thanks for going into the ranged stuff in particular

You are correct good sir
A much clearer & more accurate explanation than my glazed over graphic
This has changed my 1 str forever 😅

Scritic uploads, I get happy in the pants. It's that simple
❤❤
Flame of zammy getting nerfed, wasnt sopost to have the benefits of the new fire weaknesses
Kinda dumb that “flames” of zammy doesn’t get a “fire” weakness 😆
@@TheInevidible it is a bit dumb, but none of the other god spells have elemental damage.

You're so much more enjoyable to watch vs the other youtubers who do info videos Luke this
Bruh, perfect timing. Time to watch your vid again 🥰
The fucking single frame of Snoop Dogg killed me hahaha.
😂😂😂
Zammy flames no longer has a flame attribute. I’m half way in and haven’t seen it yet so just wanted to add that.
RIP the Goat

Treasure hunter (squeal of fortune) is next, then old old school RuneScape.
I made it through a wrym slayer task really fast using earth wave yesterday. Was maxing 33s
Cheers cobber! Now I'm all up to date 👍. Your videos are 10/10 BTW. Get ready to be as famous as EVscape soon 🎉
love the vids man! im also excited about the lil magic mix up, jagex did good work! awesome time to be a scaper lol
Why does the algorithm hate you lol. You the goat
no joke this makes air striking buffalos pretty decent xp
Only you would come to this conclusion
Great video and explanation, but the bit about elemental spell balance, I realize fire strike and air strike will ultimately have the same max hit, but it is based on your level, correct?
Appreciate the summary bro!
Ive been testing barrows runs with the chaos gauntlets, it is definitely a good early/cheap build, I was still keeping up with toxic trident in damage with mystic/occult/imbue god cape
Can we give the god staves/spells an actual niche though? Loving the content as always.
So underrated as a YT creator
Love your videos!
Great video dude. Really enjoying your content :)
Appreciate that man

What I wonder: Does Iban’s blast count as a wind spell, fire, or neither? Is the sunlight hunter cross bow light, medium, or heavy?
The changes to kephri (fire) and Baba (ranged heavy) dont really make a difference to the meta for toa. This update was great, but it feels like it's only part 1 of a more global introduction of type weaknesses
I did wonder how many people would get baited bringing a Cbow into ToA just for the BaBa changes 😂
The rebalance is basically from RS3
Alot of osrs is basically from rs3
they need lightning to be a monster weakness too.
thanks for the info fella.
Im still waiting for water weakness at fight caves
Me too... me too
I thought flames of zamorak doesn’t count as fire.
This was actually very helpful 😂
Yea this change was needed. Eoc the right way!
Unblock your metal dragons and go do them! Its worth it now!
7:12 hahahaha insta subbed and liked vid
Every video I see on air being the same str as fire now on all levels has completely left out fire surge and wind surge is it the same for surge spells?
Yeah they’re elemental
Kree'ara having an Air weakness is like a Lava Dragon having a fire weakness. Wat?
Ya, that's weird as hell.
Wind messes up the aerodynamics of a birds flight
wonder if it beat doing chins though, if so be way cheaper to just mage it.
They didnt have the balls to nerf Vw
I dunno about that... ever seen a bird hit by a compressed air cannon?
You mentionned kalphites as being vulnerable to fire spells, but unfortunately that isn't the case. For some reason KQ and her brood all have no fire weaknesses.
Turns out I'm slowly losing my mind 😂
Now I actually have a better reason to do Mage Training Arena. Lmfao
Liked comment already subbed algorythm poggers
Squad
Bring back flames of zammy for zulrah
RIP, too soon
I love these changes
reducing out max hit is kinda bs.
The graphic at 12:28 implies that max hits have been reduced by 1 to compensate for the minimum hit adjustment, but that's not what happened. They just changed every 0 hit roll to a 1...
Let's go
TWENTY TWO IN FULL RUNE WITH MAGIC LOL
We pay no gay

It’s not a real mole 😊 hope this helps!
Hahahahaha suspend disbelief for everything because nothing is real hahahahahahahahhahahaghahahahahahhahahahahahahahahgagjajahhahahahahaha
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!!! JK :p
