So splashing doesn't work; And infernal mages can entangle you with a 100% chance.
Same thing with Spectral's, they will not do damage to you for using prayer(this seems to be very major) so this will increase your trip/kills per trip by too many.
Here is the infernal mages ensnaring me as soon as I climb up the spiky chain.

And here is the gear set up I was using at the time, probably the best possible magic defense bonus there is to offer.

This has been going on for a while; Either I was too lazy to post this or was waiting for someone else to do so.
