I dont know where your getting 48's from... Just what crazy gear is this? Or is this going to be a minigame like castle wars? And more often not used? Are you kidding me? PVP is expensive, most people go welfare, a ranger can spend less than 150k on things like 15 d bolts, d'hide, and rune xbow and still do into the 50's by just random lucky specs, while the actual DPS on the weapon still stays quite high. The most you can mage welfare is nothing on range welfare. spend 150k on mage gear and you will get a joke coming out the other side. Sure, in terms of high end gear, when mages risk arcane streams that take upwards of 6-8 hours to get, full ahrims, zuriels, plus KO weapons like claws, etc, they may rip crappy welfare rangers apart, but hey, advanced hybriding > pure range anyday. And SOL? Battlerobes!?! Seriously?! Are you trying to troll me? That things incredibly expensive, and even then only saves 1/8th of the runes. Battlerobes cost 1.6 million GP on GE, oh thats not too bad... Until you realize that no one sells them, and that they need constant recharging, By comparison an accumulator may as well be free, and saves loads of ammo, and even if it didnt, you can just pick up the damn ammo anyway. Bolts break rarely, sure, but runes dissapear, period, and without super expensive weaponry/robes, ALL THE TIME. Lawl with sol + robes you save 65% of runes then tome of frost (if you have that many leftover tokens?) I guess magic is just for the elite?
