Tips

  • You could theoretically bring just the Occult and be fine in Inferno but you would be sitting there forever healing, so a mage top is brought to speed up healing.1

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says the Occult necklace providing 10% magic damage is absolutely absurd and always has been.2
  • Gnomonkey says the nerf will make mid-game magic quite a bit weaker, and spreading the damage through Ancestral robes, which currently cost 330 mil, would lose that damage unless you have absolute max gear.3
  • Gnomonkey would be okay with moving 5% of the necklace's damage to Augury, since Augury is often unused and much weaker than other best offensive prayers; the downside is that it would be a massive buff to Gauntlet.3
  • Gnomonkey says the Occult nerf is not worth compensating for by bringing more mage switches in Inferno; you still bring Virtus top, Crystal shield, a 15% damage mage staff and Occult.4

Events

  • The Occult necklace is being nerfed: Jagex plans to bring its power down slightly and distribute its magic damage across other parts of magic progression.2
  • The Occult necklace lost a bunch of damage in Project Rebalance with the damage spread over armours, leaving Gnomonkey's mage setup roughly one max hit lower.5
