Gnomonkey's opinion
- Gnomonkey calls the Theatre of Blood 'They won't expect this' CA, which is entering the Pestilent Bloat room from the opposite side (an elite CA worth four points), meaningless because it only requires walking around the arena and entering from a different door.1
- Gnomonkey says he hates the Theatre of Blood Perfect Theatre CA, which many consider the hardest CA, since one team member's mistake fails the whole raid and the CA encourages poor gameplay such as not tanking Bloat stomps or flies and killing Nylocas slowly without Chinning or Barraging.2
- Gnomonkey calls the Doom of Mokhaiotl 'always wearing a shield' CA effectively a no-two-handed-weapon CA that costs only about 5% DPS in melee, with no depth.3
- Gnomonkey considers the Tempoross CA that requires subduing Tempoross while wearing any variation of the Angler outfit the worst CA in the game, because it only tests whether you got the outfit from Fishing Trawler, and says it would fit better as a Desert diary task.4
- Gnomonkey says the Commander Zilyana 'Peach Conjurer' CA, which is killing Zilyana 50 times without leaving, takes two to three hours and is unfun purely because of its length.5
- Gnomonkey says the Colosseum 'Reinforcements' CA (defeating Sol Heredit with the Bees II, Quartet and Solar Flare II modifiers active) is badly designed because RNG decides whether those modifiers are ever offered, so a run may be uncompletable and you may need to reset repeatedly, though he likes the challenge itself.6
- Gnomonkey says the Leviathan speed CA is just hoping to hit enough rubies with a crossbow to get the time, and that Redditors who call CAs ruby reset simulators are only right about this one.7
- Gnomonkey says the Phantom Muspah Salamander-only CA is extremely restrictive and just means a very long kill, and that Salamander CAs are what everybody brings up when talking about bad CAs.8
- Gnomonkey says the Nex CA 'should see a doctor' (kill Nex while a player is coughing) means going into a mass and deliberately making everyone cough, which he calls horribly designed.9
- Gnomonkey says the fire giant CA has no Slayer requirement or special mechanics, and is something you would have done in free-to-play in 2007.10
- Gnomonkey says the Doom of Mokhaiotl 'one-handed melee only' restriction CA is too restrictive to be interesting: melee specs like claws fail it, Voidwaker fails because it is a mage-based spec, scythe is out because it is two-handed, and the Dragon warhammer is not good on the boss.11
