I also picked Soul Stealer, but I'm not regretting my choice. I knew that the minimum hit only applies when you land a hit, and that Banker's Note allows for unlimited supplies, but the ease of PvM with Soul Stealer allows me to teach myself content in the areas I chose with training wheels so I'm not having to worry about unnoting supplies and constantly eating. Berserker was a seriously good choice, but it screamed to me that it was a pick for people who already knew what they were doing and wanted the maximum power.
Right? Berserk is nice but only if you are confident in staying low HP most of the time. Question: did you choose your final relic yet? what did you choose?
Can totally see the appeal for it, the amount of times I’ve checked prayer and been surprised that it’s still topped up, insane. For learning new content it’s definitely the best choice
@Ricardo_Rick wrong. Also depends attack style. Mage for example I can fire off 3 max hits boom boom boom and for bosses for example getting 150-200 dmg off instantly before the fight starts is extremely helpful and that's before the low hp bonus comes into play... copium
SS is the better relic for new pvmers 100%. Berserker and wm are a great choice for those who are already competent with pvm. I don't think you can really go wrong with t7 relics 👍
It is astounding how many people picked soul stealer and thought the 10% minimum hit meant you never miss. Maybe because I come from pen and paper rpgs and war games, the idea that the roll to hit and the roll for damage are separate are just ingrained in me.
If you want to be sweaty during the dryad forestry event, just know there are 28 ticks between each ritual circle, and that's 26 ticks you could be woodcutting..
My thing with Berserker is I'm not trying to get my health down before every single boss/raid encounter. Just a lot more chill for me, but I understand the choice. Berserker looks like it just melts without the need to chill so I'd say this is the hardest relic choice for me as well lmao
You don't have to actively try to get your health down for it to be good, getting a max hit as your first hit is insane on it's own, ESPECIALLY if you use magic, since it takes a while for hits to register, you can usually get 3 max hits off before the first one registers. Most bosses will get your health down with chip damage after which you'll benefit from the increased damage too, when and once you get comfortable with those bosses, you can intentionally tank hits to lower your health. I went berserker and it is to me, hands down, the best choice, it's an insane relic, but I can understand people wanting to go soul stealer to learn bosses with training wheels. Though I do feel like getting undying retribution as the last relic more than makes up for the lack of soulstealer in the long run, even in the learner situation.
I have also picked mage, first time doing leagues and I am making my own choice of relics essentially since Im just having fun. I picked soulstealer as well because I can basically afk anywhere i want now. Blood magic + soulstealer means i never run out of hp or prayer. Farmed 400 wyvern for the wyvern visage without food or prayer pot with 15% atk and protect magic prayers up at ALL time, never turned them off. It is really a nice QoL relic, not super dmg boost like berserker though but im still alright with it. Getting 2 imbued heart is pretty crazy since it does not seem like you have bloodthirsty like me and I have over 20 greater slayer monsters killed without the heart. dropped multiple mist battlestaff or mystic staff I cannot remember which one it is. I got eternal gem from 1 of them but that is a different drop pool table.
I'm currently using soul stealer with a soul reaper axe and the sustain to my prayer and hp is incredible, but I think it doesn't pair well with a magic build especially since it doesn't work with burst/ barrage spells.
soul stealer seems underwhelming on mage bc of blood spells, but infinite prayer is never bad. im debating taking it because 10% min with 1t range seems pretty good, but might just stick with onyx bolts e
I'm likely still taking Soul Stealer even with Mage I feel "locked into" Blood Spells right now, so being able to do Ice Barrage or Trident instead would be so nice
@@Feast_I took soul stealer and I like it, granted the prayer it gives you back usually doesn’t cut it when you’re using a protection and a buff pray but it’s still really nice, depending what you’re doing you only need 1-2 p pots or just tele out and use crystal
@@dammitthisishard I finally got it last night and I'm having a good time with it It helped me get a kill on Whisperer finally and I feel like I don't need to bring pots to Demonic Gorillas anymore (though I also got my Zenyte shard so I might not need to go back there), on top of the fact I don't feel like I *have* to use Blood Spells
I went melee and I am considering choosing Soul Stealer since I want to learn ToB. I figure Soul Stealer + Blood Fury should help mitigate my poor gameplay.
As melee i absolutely love SS, keeping up ruinous powers at near zero cost is pretty insane. If i picked mage i definitely would not have picked soul stealer though, nor ruinous powers.
just look at soulstealer like you getting the highest longterm dps on bosses with chip damage. not having to eat through it and being able to keep swinging/blasting adds up.
People don’t get it. It is not about soul stealer is bad, it is about it feels super bad to have banker’s note while you pick soul stealer. Because everyone can last recall, banker’s note only really excel by having infinite supplies in instances. However soul stealer basically negated that, also eating a shark just feel much better than hitting 40 ten times to heal back up. Basically you struggle the whole early game with money issue, and in the end it doesn’t really matter that much. You could of just went for fire sales for easy early game plus free points.
Did absolutely every single content creator go mage? I feel like some smaller channels like this one would have benefited going melee and having a completey different path for people to watch
Soul wars has a daily limit of 1m xp, and getting that Zeal daily takes basically no time. So people use it to get their prayer up. And cause it's so low effort, it's basically free
Just now seeing this. You're a huge noob and its great watching you send the hell out of League and still find success. Berserker is trash. Ive been whooping EVERY mage at Cox in points no sweat. Not even the Bang Staff boys can keep up with the dds. If theres a Ranger i bring the Abyssal Dagger. They actually stand a chance of getting more points but usually not.
Equilibrium was a huge letdown to me. I thought it gave 10% xp buff and 20%xp to your lowest skill. So I looked at it as 100xp drop would give 110xp in that skill and 20xp to your lowest skill….. to you know equalize your skills.
I was worried about taking SS, but it's actually extremely good on mage. It's the BIS mage relic so long as you have the regions for a shadow. Even if you roll 0 damage, you'll still end up doing like 8 or 9 damage. The healing and prayer restore is bad with trident, but when your max hit with shadow in full gear is like a 90 it becomes absolutely cracked. One of the dudes in my discord server did a 0 supply inferno with shadow and SS.

Elite editing, lad. Love the top tier quality content 👌
Love the editting man, keep it up!
Appreciate it my man, thank you!
Don't worry, Soul stealer is underwhelming when it comes to hp healing, it's good for prayer though.
Id rather have taken the Berserker one.
nvm i should've watched the video first

Even at full health, it’s just really nice to just 36 36 36 a mofo

Perfect
The fking intro... THE editing.... 10/10

As i said before and i must say it again! Amazing edits. Im sure that it costs a lot of time!
Thanks brother, appreciate it

Soulstealer is about on par dps as berzerk for range.
Less attack delays from eating ruby procs etc

I just restarted at 17k league points because of how bad soulstealer is with melee.
Don’t pick it for the love of god
@@asta4412 Okay I won't haha. I will just go Guthan's and Bloody Fury.
@@Mad-Slick Soul stealer is fine if you don't have bank note. I took soul stealer because I hate farming and I don't want to farm prayer pot lol.
@@humanoid52 I went with Farmer's Fortune and now I have 1,500 prayer pots. I also went Berserker and Blood Fury seems to be doing well enough.
@@Mad-Slick Can't go farmer fortune with melee. Need ruinious powers
Skipping that bloodveld task hurt my soul a little.

5:31 caught me off guard and made me laugh so hard lmao
Yeah I regret my some leagues relics too but you know what this whole game mode will be gone in few months and I’m almost quit it now.
Don’t say that 😢
I'm almost T7. Would soul stealer be worth if I went ranged and fire sale?
Not really since weapon master and zcb is busted
I went with weapon master with a melee build because you can KO some bosses in about 6 hits.
just look at soulstealer like you getting the highest longterm dps on bosses with chip damage. not having to eat through it and being able to keep swinging/blasting adds up.
6:20 bruh wow the rng
Great vid man

oh thank god I watched this video now, just about to hit t7 and was set on soul stealer until I heard your input. thank you so much for the PSA!
I love ss, I haven't done any prayer/restores pots. I want to try beat Inferno for first time and solo tos bc I don't find teams
Regret taking weapon master, wish I took berserker. going to do the best with it tho, almost tier 8. Going to farm acb after I hit tier 8
Hi, I'm just stopping by to comment that I got to rank 45 slay doing only abbys/smoke/dust devils and still never got heart.
Great video though!
What was your multiplier at?
🔥
Same, fucked up so hard with soulstealer. The relic description is very misleading
any creators that do melee?
Did absolutely every single content creator go mage? I feel like some smaller channels like this one would have benefited going melee and having a completey different path for people to watch
There may or may not be an alt melee account that will be featuring in future videos (there is)
@@ScriticRS you're a legend.
Everyone I've seen has gone mage. It does seem the most op, A Cold One with berserker and shadow hits triple max hits.
@@SilphBoss it's boring to watch
@SilphBoss unless they're specifically going for top ranks i see no point in it.
Fun video
what is the thing he is doing at 3:05? to get so much farming xp???
Tithe farm with Farmers fortune relic my friend :) you can do it without but it'll take about 3 times as long
@@ScriticRS ahh just checked and I don’t have that. Thank you though
currently over 25m slayer xp without an imbued heart, so jealous
Just got off the phone to the RNG directors, they said it's coming soon king
So bers > SS?
what did he mean by free 1m soul wars xp points
Soul wars has a daily limit of 1m xp, and getting that Zeal daily takes basically no time. So people use it to get their prayer up. And cause it's so low effort, it's basically free
ya, I thought it would be a lot better than it is too :/
