Hello.

I had a bad experience yesterday. We were along the same level, pretty deep in the wilderness. The mage teleport blocked me then entangled me, while I was unable to move I kept being hit by spells. I could run for a few seconds before I was entangled again. This process repeated until I died. There was no way I could of escaped or attacked the mage. What could of I done in this situation?

Thanks

Are you a mage, ranger, melee or hybrid :)

when going into wildy wear Dragon hide as your armour. Good magic def and then just run away from melee :)

I was melee. Wearing armour. It was that I kept getting entangled and I couldn't run or hit her, I was effectively dead with nothing I could do.

Thats where Dragon hide comes in. Good magic defence can make their entangle splash every now and again :)

Bring magic with you as well as melee next time, along with dhide. ;)

Effectively, hybridding. If you don't know what hybridding is, look it up on youtube.

Ok thanks. Would it be possible to hot key spells or something so that you can switch between what spells you want to cast and what prayer etc?

No, using the F1-F12 you can scroll through tabs :) use that to your advantage. I believe F6, F4 and F1 are the important ones…

Im under the impression he was storming you. If you see that green staff and full gano/vitrus/ahrims, run, and log. The spell is OP and with d claw switch your done. The spell hits through void. Your only hope is not getting tb'd, yet you were already deep so it was game over. "If you can't beat em, you might as well join em"

green staff? Polypore?

I also think going into the deep wilderness with only melee is a bad idea, this will happen often, and they can just use bolas and hit + run if you use d'hide.

But thats any risk of going into the wild… the Wildy is a dangerous place…

I was around level 15-20 in Wild. so I could TP out. As soon as I saw a spell I tried to TP out but it was already too late, then I got entangled so it was game over from there.

Very useful thanks.

Always bring some range or mage and D hide is a must in that situation you put d hide on and run like hell lol

If you are in a situation where you are wearing melee armor and don't have dhide i suggest you take off your armor because you will have a negative magic defense with it on. That should help if you run into a situation like that again, but, like everyone else, dhide is generally best all purpose armor.

Oh yeah…It probs was a polypore. D'hide can tank it. But I was thinking armadyl staff just from experience.

House of the dead taught me something very important.

"When in doubt head left" - House of the dead 3 AND 4.

Now.. theres no point going into wildy with good melee armour if it's past level 10 wildy… END OF. If you want to venture out wear some 'light' armour… D'hide.. robes etc :)

Now your either the top of the line in the wildi, or noob. No more middle class b/c they will die. OP weapons thanks Jagex…

Why so rude? You obviously have no factual base underneath you. Yet your still being rude.

Mage is better than melee… yes we know that. But mages are prone to rangers. and rangers prone to melee… I don't get why you need to involve the middle class stereotype or class someone as "Top of the line in the wildi or noob"

The simple fact you can't spell wildy is beyond me… Wildy is slang for wilderness. Wildi on the other hand is pronounced differently.

Please don't be so rude to members.

Bah you must have gotten the wrong impression dude. I was speaking negatively towards jagex. I'll rephrse. "Wealthy people win, with OP equipment, Poor people lose.." This happens in the "Wildy"… I seriously meant no disrespect to anybody, just a mere misunderstanding :)

Ok, well I understand better now. But the class system is just pure fabrication of the media. Yes we live in the class system but RS is different. People who are poorer can beat the rich.

It's a simple use of technique… Mage > Melee > Range > Mage > Melee > Range > etc etc

Not Polypore, he meant Armadyl. The spell in question is Storm of Armadyl.

Wildi is not dangerous at all if you know what you're doing. I go to level 50+ Wildi all the time on my level 60 pure, I've tanked 120's. I've only died once, and that was because I was fighting somebody my level and they gmaul specced me :P

From: Imagine

Can't emphasise this point enough. Get yourself 85+ mage & learn to PK. Don't think I've ever stepped into 50+ without at least a set of black d'hide

Best way to survive is to run into forest of dead trees or into spot of agressive monsters. Moving system is a little bit crap ,auto-following you attacker can stuck on tree if you have a luck. And monsters will PJ him ,if you run through them. I was pking with polypore staff a lot ,and thats how I used to lose my victims. To be honest I hate this stupid system ,but thats how it works.

How can you say wildi isn't dangerous its full of 12 year olds running around in void and rune with a tb'er and entangler/Freezing.

Insta-death

I find myself also in this situation from time to time (I don't really stray too far from edge, when I am JUST using melee so its not a big problem) I am 99% of the time wearing full statius so I get "mage" gangsters trying to kill me quite frequently.

My method

1. Take off armour with negative magic bonuses
2. Equip spec weapon
3. Turn on soul split, and turmoil (If not already on)
4. Get close to them, equip armour again
5. SPEC
6. De-equip gear, and run while they are eating (or if you think you can, double spec and kill them)
7. Log out if deep, or just get passed ditch. (Make sure to have some sort of banter "Lmao 5 year olds pk better than you"
8. Then go, hahahahaha and leave.

my advice to you would to use dhide or agile if you have it and boots of lightness and carry some bolas with you so you can keep them in place while you spec them with dds/claws/other also note glory/wealth can tele you up to 30 wildy so they can be helpful and if you see someone in gano just keep your pray up and protect one item on.

melee actually owns now (in fact, it had always been), just use full gano and u will have insane magic def and good melee def too. Low ranged def though but hardly any1 use ranged to pk (other than dark bow spec), so melee wpn+gano armor+pray will own any mage easily, esp. if u have high magic lvl (magic defence is 70% dependent on magic lvl!)
