There will always be an extremely, extremely low chance of death (estimated around 1/750k per fight from combat simulator) if the enemy can stack enough affliction stacks on us before we kill it.</span> | ||
If you are comfortable with that risk and plan to make regular backups of your character | If you are comfortable with that risk and/or plan to make regular backups of your character then proceed. If you are not a HC character, you can swap {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} for {{PrayerIcon|Protect Item}} and accept a very low chance of death while farming. Unfortunately without {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} the death rate rises to around 1/30k, which is over 20 times more likely, but still a rare event so it is a trade-off. Similarly, {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}} can be used for an additional +4 kills/hr with the same increased death rate. {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Melee}} is non-negotiable (compared to the other monsters where it can technically be substituted for offensive prayers), as the dodge chance drastically slows the rate of affliction stacks accumulating. Without {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Melee}} the death rate is around 1/25. | ||
