Range can't hit rapid 18's at 59 magic, sorry we are talking about equivalent level to 59 magic, i don't deny magic needs wave spells, but as it is now, its very powerful for its level. No, this is new, on my mage about 2 months back, most fighters used rune, most rangers used a decent amount of adamant arrows, and everyone risked over 25k. And, i got corrupt dragon square drop, managed to get rune chain drop, and some other random rune items, actually almost all my actual kills got me decent drops. Also, how would fighters fund them selfs either, sure they get a one time payment of 70k, oh wait, yea, thats until they die. And how would they get the money in the first place? Meleer dosent hit faster with a rune 2h, its scimitar hit is something around 12-13, sure it puts up a "good" fight, but we all know whos going to win. The ranger hits rapid 9's 10's, ok, they might win, but thats the combat triangle for you. Infact tell you what, do you have a ranger/warrior thats equivalent to 59 mage? I'm going to be making another f2p mage pure again, and i would like to verse you, and see who wins.

The thing is, you don't even know if he had 99 magic.

Assuming everyone wants a rune weapon the "ko" of a fighter at the same level is actually less damage than the mages normal hit. So having no ko is not a problem when every hit they make has the power of a KO My mage got himself money, seriously, i got fairly decent pks, and i skilled as well. And a melee pure would need to get money from his main by your logic as well. Also, pkers need a rune weapon, enough said, unless you want an addy weapon, and they seriously do suck. Pkers, at level 40 use rune. Maybe you don't but a decent amount do, a great deal of pkers want a rune weapon before they get overly high strength levels. If they instead do use addy as you stated, they have 58 strength, and do 15 damage with r2h, which is still less than mages normal hit.

-.- I don't like you =(.

I never said melee was more useful, just saying its more diverse.

The title jagex favors melee might not be jagex favoring melee in power, but maybe in updates, diversity, weapons? Melee has godswords, needs 75 attack, what else needs over 75 in a skill aside from pvp items. Surely, nothing that a mage or ranger could use. No godbows/staffs.

10... hp... I really don't care what you think, but when you can 1 hit ko yourself, someone can 1 hit ko you.

Yes, but if rangers get a range cape with a bonus, why shouldn't rangers and mages. Yes, picking up arrows is a bonus.

Actually with a rune 2h, 40 attack and 48 strength, equivalent to 59 magic, rune 2h dose 17 damage. Yes, potted AND prayed. With a rune 2h. Actually assuming he dosent have prayer, because few people ever do at that level, (except me =D) then the max hit with rune 2h is 15, and the max hit of rune longsword is 13. Lets also assume he dosent pot, few people that level pot either. So he has a grand max hit of. 12 with rune longsword and 14 with rune 2h. Only potted AND prayed, dose the meleer stand a chance. At 59 range, (equivalent to 59 mage duh =D) Range max hit is 11, WITH eagle eye. No prayer it goes down to 10. ID say mage has a fair chance at that, assuming range dosent have a "ko" either.

I personally think its worth it. Its only marginally more, what 50k isnt really that much, even if its ongoing, when there is potential for drops of up to an over 1 million in pvp worlds, 50k is tiny.

I don't deny the cost is a gigantic pain in the [wagon], but in terms of power, its fairly balanced.

So, in other words, lets give 99 str/attack capes firecape stats, and give 99 mage capes the god cape stats.

I agree with comp, melee is unranged, less accuracy and dose less damage at same level. A r2h can hit 17 at the time mages can hit 16, thats one extra than a mage, and the "ko" is definitely not consistent. 1 extra damage is not a KO, i would rather have constant 16's.

I see. :pray:

I was special =D. Hey it won me fights, why not use it.

The cries of a million people with high level mining, fishing, or fire making.

Maybe they realized releasing half done updates was a bad thing, and would rather polish it up before throwing it at us. Look at most of the recent, big updates, filled with bugs.

Last time i f2p PKed was with Estorrath, 2 months ago, i had 43 prayer, 1 defense, and somewhere between 60-65 magic. The fight that people didn't run or tele, i generally won. I had no deaths. And only ran away once (range 2her, top of my level range). Most of my kills were from rangers, i out hit them in both damage, AND accuracy. My luck also netted me a corrupt dragon square shield. was 900k richer =D. Yes, at that time, no one my level could beat me in a fair fight.

Its to late now. If they remove bandits people who haven't trained there stats are bandits yet but were/going to will feel cheated.

If you have many millions in f2p, why don't you buy like 20 sets of rune and run around pking for no apparent reason.

Fire bolt your way =D.

There are a couple of less populated yet still dangerous areas to pk. Bounty hunter, In between falador and barb village, just north of lumbridge. etc.

So, in other words, fletching would be a relatively profitable AND easy to train skill. Cool, its gonna be my first 99.

Yes, but as compfreak has said, it would be better maxed out. The best you can hope for in competition to 59 mage with equivalent melee stats is an epic fail.

Yea your better off with everything. Whats monk anyway?
