[F2P] Fist of Guthix
I'm was at the mercy of my whim to fight in Fist of Guthix today. The true terror of the activity lies not in the concept of gameplay but in the opponent who manifested my dread defeat. I did have several 130+ (s) as my opponent and they completely destroyed me. The most demoralising thing was that I was faced with him a second time and I could foresee my demise. Once bitten, twice shy and thrice shun. I did leave immediately after I was paired up with him a third time so as to end the pain swiftly while not causing further embarrassment. Ancients and dragon claws were the culprit of my downfall. It seemed like there were no other choice except switching to f2p servers so as to reduce encounters with high levels and reduce the difficulty.
Well one of the things I actually appreciate on f2p servers were that levels meant absolutely everything and the combat triangle advantage are of little significance (A warrior can slash a mage down on f2p due to the absence of binds which makes the mage vulnerable to a counterattack) . A level 90 could never defeat a level 110 on a f2p server but he could ace a much higher leveled player if he plays his cards right on a members server. Fighting newbies on f2p server did allow me to regain my confidence.
However, 5k Charges was the max charge attainable so my turn ended even though I managed to tank all of his attacks.I deployed the Protect from Melee prayer even though he was just a level 49. As he was of a lower level he was unable to left click me to launch a default attack so I used that to my advantage along with the obstacles of the terrain to constantly trap him as he did not attempt to use Ranged or Magic attack.
Oh yeah! I managed to 2-hit him by luck before he even equipped the stone of power to begin holding charges. He was probably tired of his futile attempts to bring me down and left.
