Oh my goodness thank you! i always noticed the combat level things and its totally true. Tbh though, i dont think they'r gonna revamp the whole combat system anytime soon though, you know? And i still don't get it with all this "mage needs def spells." as has alredy been pointed out, that is exactly what prayer is for! And wats up with all this mage cant beat melee, i pvp often and i can never handle a high lvl mage well if i have on melee armour. and lastly, whats wrong with the usual freeze and run technique? i had always thought that mage was too over powered for that! i was happy when the zammy gs came out with the freezing special, but as we all know, magers could already do that. you freeze, rune away, and pwn with blood spells. sheesh. idk if you all can tell, but being frozen for 20 seconds(as short as it sounds) is a long time, especially in pvp. In closing, anything new is welcome, even in mage, but i think theres enough power for mages already. Although on the subject of range...thats a whole nother story! especially for f2p. Dude, you have 67 magic. You are destined to get pwned by mages. Magic is horribly underpowered. Look at range tanks. All the way up to max level, they're effective against melee. A tank ranger will give one hell of a fight to melee, and melee is supposed to own range. Now, put a mage against a ranger. Screwt. The ranger won't even break a sweat. Heck, as I've proved time and time again, mages have a major headache just trying to kill melee. They have very low damage, very high cost, ineffective armor, low accuracy, no ko. Magic is completely useless as anything but a sidearm for holding people for range or melee hybrids. now you're just kidding me right? there in no ranger that i've come across my lvl(sometimes higher) that has ever been able to kill me and my barrows armour. i also honestly doubt there will be one anytime soon, tank ranging or not. and if mage is soo under powered, why then is everyone striving to get ancient at castle wars? after all, its either that or gs's and melee. truth is you barely see anyone who even wants to bring range armour ffs. the combat triangle is still in effect every1. so dont be fooled. mage pwns. even if u have good defence and/or attack, what's the point if you cant hit them? they never die, you run out of food, and that's that. BTW, im getting my mage up... \ :P
