Default Possible to use prot bond like before!

Use a protection prayers +1 20% chance, and use protection headpiece with sup protection, use a golden egg, and you can get 18 protection prayers, which will cause you to only lose 2 energy per hit.

Actually, with 16 prot and a +1 item that is 17.. However, with the golden eggs, you could raise your attributes by 1 and get 18 for this to work.

I think the easiest solution yet if you insist on running protective bond for farming and it doesn't fit the simple solutions being the mantra of X element or vs only melee which means bonettis for energy management would be have a hero bonder sharing the protective bond cost with you.

I was just simply trying to point out that now with these eggs, it is possible to farm with prot bond like it was back before the nerf.

They are golden eggs, they are random drops like clovers and ales were, they give all of your attributes+1 for 5 minutes.

Could do the same with Lunar Fortunes, less reliable for getting +1 attribute but at least it has infinite duration.

6 second Burning Arrows ftw.

i bought 300eggs and AFTER that i got this idea: with protection at 18 you lose 2energy by protective bond each hit...so ummm where might you get more enegry so you can keep your other spells up all times when your energy regeneration is 0 (if you use mending,prot bond,balth spirit and essence bond). Maybe by using zealous weapon?

EDIT:
doh i'm stupido -.- blessed signet

hmmm and bonetti's defence ofcourse (oh well i sold the eggs already :P POWERSELL FTW!! hehe)

Blessed Signet, Channeling, Mantras (depending on farm), Bonneti's, attunements, many options are available. It just depends on your build.

i dont think this is viable for farming anymore.. the combo spirit bond and shield of absorption is more hax

PS might be interesting for bonding, but its too much side effects (read -2 energy ;P) to make it worth to experiment with imo

It is just something that is fun to do, brings back some memories of being able to go afk with a mob pounding on you, and you cannot die.

Imagine how well it will work when easy mode is implemented and they no longer flee

Don't underestimate Protective bond. I'm saving my eggs just in case.

OMG KCP is alive!!! Thought you left the game or something....

Ok now for the topic...I think its good and all but really not needed. protection spirit is what we all have used for so long and have done many places with it...so why go through all the touble?...
