Im a hybrid build and use explosive arrow and a dark necro bow of agonising strike for lixing. I go to the end room in forbidden halls (use blue pot) and pull a load and let the bow and exp arrow work away. it does eat res pots and sometimes an occasional light heal but its working great. I only cast exp arrow if there are 3 or more mobs on me.
Lvl 222
edl set
dl bow & quiver
flaming thorns quiver
trailblazer set
godly hrung brace (precision)
skain stormleaf charm
2x valour rings
haste ring
Drop explosive :/ it
1 takes too much energy
2 doesn't do enough damage
1 Yes he knows it takes a lot of energy but is willing to use restos as needed
2 It does moderate dmg to multiple mobs.
I've known Gazz for a couple years and at 222 has had plenty of time to lix with the skill and without it. And, for him, he finds it a useful skill while lixing as it helps to clear rooms faster. Faster cleared mobs means faster xp. I'm not sure if a lvl 180 should be giving lixing advice to a lvl 220.
