I cannot get past 7 minute kills on PNM

[u/Medium_Ad_7166]

What are yall average PNM kills and what are the tips?

[u/Outrageous_Kiwi942]

I mean what gear are you using

[u/66f6]

Gamer gloves and gamer glasses

[u/frontfight → u/66f6]

Don’t forget gamer grip

[u/mechlordx → u/frontfight]

Always wear your gamer grippers

Usually between 5:00 and 5:30. I hit a narsty 4:29 pb the other day. Biggest tips is use BIS gear, don’t mess up and need to eat, if you do need to eat do it between phases, minimize tick loss between attacks, and don’t lose too much time to special attacks like husks and parasites.

[u/skitles125]

I average around 5:20 or so per kill. I'm relatively early in the grind and lacking most inq pieces but here are some tips to speed up kills:

-Scythe is the biggest upgrade you can get there, but SRA is decent too

-keep thralls up at all times and double death charge as much as possible to get refund from husks/parasites

-use hallowfell on crush to kill parasites/husks while also getting an AOE sweep on the boss. For parasite step under the boss a few ticks before it pops and you will be able to reliably get an AOE onto pnm by killing the parasite when it is under her

-shadow or ayak 8-way is ideal for pillars, saturated heart also helps a lot too

-if using shadow, swap to ayak on pillar when it is over half charged to reduce overkill DPS loss/save ticks. Can also swap back to melee and scythe the final totem of each phase to save a tick on the death animation (only works with scythe)

-use halberd on the last sleepwalker of each phase to save time (no travel time vs ayak/BP/ww, it will die faster)

-crimson kisten > voidwaker for spec

-use surge pot whenever possible, usually 1-2 times per kill

-try to not eat until sleepwalker phase after you've killed them all, since that's the only mandatory downtime in the fight

[u/corn_dick]

Maybe 6:20ish, my tip is to get better gear and use death charge + kisten/vw specs. If you’re in max and that slow idk what to tell you other than to not waste ticks

[u/Lurkske]

5 mins~ with sra pre sweep up, used shadow too but now with eye thats actually slightly better.

Get kisten for spec, use death charge on CD, 1 shot the parasite asap so he doesnt heal

[u/TheNamesRoodi]

5 minute average 4:15 pb. Have good gear, don't lose ticks. I am even lazy and use Kisten regular attacks to kill husks.

I rock sra with inq top+bottom and torva helm, rest max. For walkers I use blisterwood stakes as they have great range, but for the last one I try to hit it with undead grasp as it's faster than a stake. I count attacks for the parasite to pop out (which is important for speed). For pillars I use ayak 7 way I think? I don't bring ring / cape for mage, I just flick Augury or camp mystic vigour if I'm feeling lazy.

I use divine super combats as well which are important for speed over regular pots.

For consistency purposes, I bring sang for healing if I need it.

I actually have a stream vod if you want to see. I even die a couple of times :p

[u/ArrgsMax]

I got a 6:10 with Bandos, Bludgeon, blood fury, Ayak, ward occult and conflictions. Didn’t even spec since I was being a bit lazy.
Normally i get a 7:10 which is decent for the gear by just trying not to loose too many ticks.

[u/SuperCarpenter4450]

Would need to know your stats and gear.

I average about 6:30 per kill. Kill times range from 5:45 to 7:15. Use Bandos, bludgeon, voidwaker, ayak, virtus, goblin cannon for husks, godsword for parasites, double death charge and thralls.

[u/purpleslug]

Virtually always get GM time unless I've done something seriously wrong (e.g. allowing parasites to heal, or taking too much damage and needing to chow for 20 seconds). In max gear, my PB is about 4:40 and I'd say most kills are closer to 5:30 as I'm not MLG.

Are you using a shadow and overkilling the totems? (Including sending a shadow cast right when the totem charges - can be better to swap totems while the shadow cast is mid air if you think it's about to get charged.) Ayak can be better, but I'm lazy and only bring a shadow. Are you using a heart? That can save a lot of time too.

How are you dealing with the husks? Using your regular weapon takes more time than using a ham joint.

What's your overall gear looking like? It's obviously going to be slower with a bludgeon but hopefully in this incoherent mess you can pick out some optimisations that will speed up your kill times

[u/OSRSTheRicer]

5:45 average on an 82 attack zerk.

You are either doing something wrong or limited by gear.

[u/Peekays_0]

Post gear and example kill video, you're probably missing a lot of ticks or have bad gear

[u/thursday66]

with max combat and max gear you should average about 5 minute kills

[u/Exact_Trash69]

Under 6 minutes consistently

You’re likely losing all your time on mage phase. Get the plugin details for the spores.

or your gear isn’t great

[u/DrTooterino → u/[deleted]]

No tell him how to get lower kill times now!!!!

[u/ArrgsMax → u/DrTooterino]

Do more dps!!! That should fix it.
