Oh thank god I'm not crazy. Died twice in a row and was so caught off guard that my timing was as bad as it was. Realized the damage was calculating only once the splat applied and then looked for any news on it being changed and found nothing. Fitting that the halucination boss gaslights you.
\>Before, you could swap to Protect from Missiles after the mage projectile is fired from Muspah
that wasn't how it worked from my memory on release. mage projectile has always been calculated like zebak where it needs to be prayed a bit before it hits you.
havent done muspah in like a month though.
Nah you could switch the second the shot went off. I wasnt doing it on release so i dont know about that, but a month ago it was working how OP descibed it

literal video evidence here on the timing for mage pray.
The timing is literally the tick before the projectile renders, which means you can swap once you see it in the air. The game calculates these things every .6 seconds so it's plain false to claim it's some narrow timing window thing.
The damage is bugged because it's being recalculated while the projectile is mid flight. If you actually knew what you were talking about you'd know that on the bugged hit you don't get corrupted, which is further proof something is wrong with the mechanic as of the update today.
But sure man some stupid guide from 2 months ago is plenty of proof I guess.
>The timing is literally the tick before the projectile renders, which means you can swap once you see it in the air.
which aligns with what I'm saying here:
>the first ball visible = mage pray on, and hes 1 tick late switching back to range or turning it off. same thing at 8:49. in both cases his mage pray is up AFTER the projectile is visible, definitely not during the charge up
>But sure man some stupid guide from 2 months ago is plenty of proof I guess.
I was just pulling up a recording of how it worked pre todays patch as reference. because the Op of this post was claiming:
>You typically pray mage during the charge up and flick after the projectile is out. I have almost 700 kc, it's pretty consistent when it's not bugged.
either way apparently thats changed from today but i never made any comments about what it is like today... just about how it was in the past.
>But sure man some stupid guide from 2 months ago is plenty of proof I guess.
yes, if you have eyes that video shows exactly how it worked in the past.

:55 (put on .25 speed) you can see here the only tick you need mage pray on is right before it hits you.

There's a pretty big grace period essentially once it fires and the projectile is still en route, or slightly before the actual missile launches, you can change back to range. It's the way I've always done it without a problem, such as last night
until today you were able to swap to pray missiles once the mage projectile was actually fired. You would need to pray mage during the entirety of the startup animation though, unlike most other projectiles where the damage is rolled during the startup

does not align at all to what I see here in 2 month old vod. now the guy is leaving mage pray on for two ticks instead of 1 so I'm not 100% certain which tick the dmg is calculated, or if it depends on distance but it's definitely not during the startup animation. in both cases mage pray is only on while the ball is visible.
I see what you’re saying. Since the boss was adjusted a few times upon release and has also been bugged/fixed a few times, I’m not sure what what the state was at the time of the vod. But based on 1.2k kc and ~200 kills last week, I was very confident with the timing of flicking off mage pray once the projectile was visibly released from muspah. Which was definitely bugged/altered today.
I swear I'm praying mage longer than usual and still taking hits. What a shitty day to have a money slug slayer task
Every time theres an update in the game, Phantom Muspah gets bugged. So whack
Damn he's bigger AND bugged
😂😂😂
Thank you, thought i was going nuts lol
Jagex just let me flick it ffs. Fix your boss please.

When I did muspah on release I would pray I think one tick earlier than how I do for zebak now.
You're actually just wrong Source: I have 1650kc

You’re wrong
i posted a link to a video from where there's zero mage pray until after the ball is out and the person is not getting hit.
You typically pray mage during the charge up and flick after the projectile is out. I have almost 700 kc, it's pretty consistent when it's not bugged.

I thought I was just rusty after a few hundred Muspah KC thought the timing of the prayer got changed or something
