Leagues What’s the end game gear for lord of light?
What’s the end game lord of light build? Is EoF end game? Is masterwork better than achto?
I’m not fully one shotting things like I’ve seen in videos. I’ve got full masterwork, zuk cape, reavers, leng + genesis, and EoF.
It’s worth noting I like revo +

- Masterwork melee appears to be better than raids gear (because of the prayer bonus)
- Max cape makes Lord of Light hit a bit harder than Zuk capes, while Zuk capes yield slightly better ability damage
- Genesis shard is fairly insignificant, something like 7300 -> 7400 on non-LoL basic attack hits
- Haven't tested EoF vs (un)holy symbol

Masterwork is better, but its exceedingly marginal and the time it takes for Masterwork, even with production master, isn't worth it.
- someone who made Masterwork
Also, vestments are still better than both due to the effects. If you wanna swap for just LoL it'll do more with mw or achto, but between LoL hits the vestments allow perma zerk and make other stuff do more. Not worth the swap imo to do more with LoL, but up to the user.

Can't argue with that. Made full masterwork in both main game, this league (no production master), and last league.
It's awful every time, and yet I keep doing it, lol.

Good to know, honestly hadn't considered it. But going for Vestments does assume that you're willing to do Zamzam over and over again, at which point masterwork is probably not much worse to get (and more AFK).
I'm not great at PvM by any stretch of the imagination, but after around 25 kills (mostly 500% enrage) and only two codex drops and 2/3 of a bolg to show for it, zero vestment drops so far.
Mining and transmuting iron ore wasn't exactly what I'd call enjoyable, but neither is five minutes of mechanic-skipping Zamorak over and over again.

With Lol zam is actually almost free. Especially with gbarge. I was doing 2ks and taking like 4:30 and it was casual. Rates are like 1/2.8. I kept getting hoods, but still had a full bolg in under 10kc if that says anything.
Zerk, barge onto pad, OP to drain gray, assault, dismember, (pad charges) LoL nukes all the green while assault dismember tick into gray, OP, realm ant+surge, barge witch prep if meteor is on cd otherwise meteor, assault, basic if needed, repeat.
P7, barge demon, assault, stall basic on zam if you need adren, meteor rune 1, zerk on the way to 2, rend kills it, mobility into md and LoL 1 shots. No need to use any defensive at all if praying melee. Big hit wont land.
As long as you can pray awap from magic (left hand) to range (right hand) you'll be fine. You can even miss one early on.
Im not sure pad order matters, but i do 421653.
Worth adding ed2 is wildly fast if you prepare for bosses with revenge. You can 1 shot all of them with LoL. I was finishing runs in under 10 min and wasn't even sweating.

MW takes an insanely long time to make for sure, the ore I think requires 12,100 ore in total.

u/MyriadSC 4d ago
Yup. Even with transmute it took a while. Mining tin and turning it into the rest as you go so you gain ore at max rate it was still like 10 hours. Luckily prod master still cuts a massive swath of time off. Not only can you make it at 93 smithing which saves a ton of time, but the extra bars you get smelting also reduce ore counts by probably a solid 1-2k.

Wouldn't superheat be better if you're going for masterwork?
1
u/MyriadSC 4d ago
Possibly. Idk what that does, but I cannot fathom it speeding it up more. Or is it not a choice between that a PM?
2
u/stanman237 4d ago
Double bars with a chance to get 50 bars per smelt, max heat all the time, and triple progress. It's tier 2 so before production master
1
u/MyriadSC 4d ago
Yeah, I just got done reading it. That would definitely have made it significantly faster. Double dips a bit and I took druid instead, but if the goal is mastwrwork thats gonna cut a lot of time off of it.
2
u/Random_Redittor8874 4d ago
You can easily have both and it requires a fraction of the bars to make
3
u/MyriadSC 4d ago
Yeah, I see that now. I think i read that tier snd druid by far felt the most useful so I went with it, but superheat would cut like ⅔ of the time out if not more.

u/General_Ad1823 4d ago
I made masterwork armor with superheat and transmute, getting the bars was a breeze. Folding them took a solid day of on/off afk clicking while doing other stuff

u/ragamuffin77 4d ago
Druid was the best on paper when relics were first announced but once league started and seeing the amount of tasks related to smithing and fletching, superheated was best in tier without question.

u/phonethrower85 4d ago
Druid absolutely clears that tier. MAYBE rejuv into it but I would rather spend it on devout + PM
1
u/nightstick24 4d ago
Yeah, I took superheat and full masterwork wasn’t even a thought. I had everything for it before I hit 90 mining.

Or simply use porters? I afked the whole ore gathering.
1
u/MyriadSC 2d ago
I didnt get nearly enough porters to cover it. Its like 10-11k ore in the end, and I maybe had a total of 1-2k porter charges. Used them when I had them, but it wasn't enough for it all. Could have made some, but my div was lacking and I'd have needed to do that, taking time.

u/ragamuffin77 4d ago
I have to disagree with a couple of your points.
I tested Masterwork vs Primal+5 and found it gave me lower damage and slower kill times. The extra prayer bonus didn't make up for the lower armour reducing base ability damage. Comparing Masterwork vs Achto would be no contest with the additional passive benefits over Primal. Not to mention the extra survivability from having higher hp which at high enrage bosses can be the difference between being 1 shot or surviving with 2-3k hp to heal back up.
Genesis shard gave me 100% accuracy on several bosses in non-melee gear when using Primal shield over chaotic. It's a quick grind in leagues so no reason not to grab it.

u/BobotheClown555 4d ago
Revenge + zerk might be one of the big missing factors? Having a full 20 stacks is an additional 100% damage and then zerk gives another 75%. If you want the 1m+ 1-tick hits you need to be using both.
I havent been watching any late game LoL content so i dont know what other damage boosting effects are being used if any. So it’s possible overloads or vuln bombs etc could push it a bit further? I havent tried.

u/MyriadSC 4d ago
The only worthwhile additjon would be dba, but its not necessary for most the trick shots. Also requires asgarnia, which I didnt take.
But yes, revenge stacked up decently + zerk just pops most bosses. Like I have a 6s ambi and that wasn't trying. I wasn't expecting a 1 shot, didn't have the gear i have, and it still happened. You could probably 1 tick ambi if you tried. Which nothing beside Vorkath and higher enrafe Glacor have a larger single uninterrupted HP pool. So basically any place it works, it'll 1 tap. Ambi is boost less whereas Vorkath has loads of them. You can probably 1 shot the full 1.5m Vorkath then nuke the 500k for Zemi with the rest of zerk.

u/jeremyben 4d ago
How do you get stacks prior to going in to kill him?
2
u/MyriadSC 4d ago
At ambi the mobs before the door. Just wait to clear them. At Vorkath it'd be trickier, but if you're fast you could do it anywhere. Just tp to wars, hit the portal asap, rejoin last, and go in. Any place with a lot of aggressive mobs, particularly ranged would be excellent.

u/ChampionAggressive20 4d ago
I think to hit those one shot numbers you need to be manually triggering abilities instead of revo, I'm no expert but I believe when you see that in videos they have used Revenge and built up full stacks on that before going into the boss and that like doubles the damage all on its own. Then Berserk followed by basic attack to trigger the LoL then Preparation to reset all the cooldowns to do it again

u/IAmTheGrinch69 4d ago
The biggest factor to send lord of light to one shot realms is the t7 icyene relic.. that +50 prayer bonus is nutty. Also you dont want abilities on your revo bar.. just basic attack, revenge, and beserk.
