Corporeal Beast is not that hard to kill

Apparently Corporeal Beast is not that difficult to deal with, at least according to G's experiences. Of course, if you go in a team of 7-8 players.

A few other links:

• A compromise solution was promised for the Ice Strykewyrm/Fire Cape problem.
• Neo Avatar's take on recent Content Q&A session.
• RSC is being updated and RSC players are almost officially being used as beta testers. Good move from Jagex, IMHO.

First Succesfull Corporeal Beast Solo

Ability to gulp potions quickly finally made it possible to solo Corporeal Beast.

Lack of AI behind monsters in Runescape

An article about lack of difficult monsters in Runescape. Almost every boss monster can be quite safely soloed if you know how and have sufficient stats and equipment. The only exception being the Corporeal beast, which is not smarter but simply too powerful to solo.

I agree with author, Jagex has been trying to fix the situation for years. They kept stretching the limits of what boss monsters could do, trying different attack styles, defense options, locations and support casts. But it looks like that only successful option so far was the "blunt power" one. Which is not fair :-)

What I'd love to see is change/improvement in AI for Runescape monsters. And not just boss monsters. Imagine guards teaming on you in multi combat areas when they see you being unarmed, imagine thieves actually stealing food from you and running away, imagine revenants following you all over the wilderness and using different attack styles based on what armor you wear. Just think about it! Wouldn't it be nice?
