combat issue

[EmberMantles]

I'm suddenly having issues with combat, I can only defeat monsters that are *significantly* below my combat level. I'm currently at 67 combat, with a full set of rainbow armor and the red sword. But I cannot defeat a Turuto, even though its's supposed to be level 52. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here.

Having healing items helps, aswell as latest equipment available.
Spells also help in combat, even if it's just buffs.

If combat is being too tough, you can try getting a healing spell to help with survival.

My guess is that you didn't being any decent healing items. Also, in case of Turuto it is also because it counters your sword. It has 91 slash evasion, which is much higher than all of its other defenses. And its weakness would probably be its mere 52 smash evasion. Though nature magic would also work quite well.

My consumables section is full (mooberry donut, dragonfruit gummy, attack coffee, power coffee). I have 3 abilities set (lvl 35 entangle, lvl 13 smack, lvl 18 toughness). I can't equip higher level weapon or armor.
It's not just Turuto I can't defeat, that was just one example. I haven't been able to defeat Myconid, Stabby, Slashy, Smashy, Shooty, or Boomy. Several days ago I could defeat anything up to Slashy.

You aren't playing into your strengths.

A sword deals slash damage and provides a bonus to it, smack is based on smash (hence won't do well with swords). And entangle is a magic attack, something that will barely hit with cheese armor (you lose a lot of magic accuracy).

Sounds like a skill issue to me. Maybe try a different build or look at the way other folks build their characters by clicking on their profile in chat? It's not like profiles are private or anything.
