So I finally started my inferno attempts and I'd like to document every step of the way until I get my cape. I will include pictures and details of what I used, how I died, and what wave I died on.
To boot, this is my starting setup (an extra brew over the tokkul - which was just me going in to mark the tiles then leaving so I won't count it as an attempt) :
ATTEMPT 1 - Wave 55: I went much further than anticipated. Got all the way to wave 55 using rune darts and missing a brew as I didn't expect to get that far. Surprisingly, I didn't have much of an issue prayer flicking stuff. My main issues were a) letting all pillars except the north one fall, b) panicing with certain spawns where I had mobs come at me from 3 different directions, and worst of all c) not being able to trap the melee properly at times as I currently only know 1 spot to trap it. I'm hoping to fix all of these issues on my next run which will likely be later tonight. As for whoever is reading this and wants to attempt the inferno, it's WAY EASIER THAN YOU THINK. Don't be scared to give it a shot, even in welfare gear. Here's my first attempt's ending pic:
ATTEMPT 2 - Wave 63: Got much further this time around. Big thanks to my boy Jared for lending me the tbow. Helped me a lot in a couple of sticky situations. I've sort of managed to figure out luring the melee now, and I don't have much of a problem otherwise. I failed to protect the south pillar which ultimately screwed me over. Couldn't figure out how to fix this spawn on time. Pic below.
