Listener Questions

Audio Question from Morumska

Question from Veteran

Question #1 is directed at Shane - Since I don't have the concentration span in order to get 99 agility in one go, without quitting RS with the amount of clicking and poor xp rates, but what method did you use when getting 99 agility, if you remember that is?

Question #2 is directed at the both of you - I ask everytime there is a steam sale, did either of you manage to snag yourself a game?

Thanks

V.

Question from 99 Aegis

My most recent Runescape goal has been to get full void. From my previous questions, you know that I love to do barrows. With the introduction of the EoC, taking 3 sets of gear seems to be the best method for clearing Barrows quickly, and what better armor for hybriding than void?

This is my concern: Void armor has been severely nerfed in the latest update. It was used when you needed pure damage at the cost of defense. Now that small defense bonus has been reduced by a lot (as proof in this image album: http://imgur.com/a/icQ4k).

What do you think this means for the armor set? With 50% protection prayers and a much lower defense rating, you will get ripped apart. Your DPS even drops because you have to eat so much food! Should I consider using something else for barrows?

Thanks,

Aegis

Question from Elysian City

Dear rsbandb, what are the advantages of having a desktop vs a laptop?

Also I am currently 186 combat, where is the best spot to train eoc for melee?

Stay frosty- Elysian City.
