At what time will the beta open?

They've changed that with the last combat update. It now works just like them. Spells are what ammo is to Ranged, and damage overall is calculated in the same way now. But has it ever worked properly, even without modifiers? What do you mean? If Magic ever worked properly?

Doh. Solomon & SoF are way more important, than those stupid mage prayers. Like, who cares about Magic anyway? Melee all the way!

Everybody knows what's wrong with them, or at least anyone who keeps up with these things >.>. Latin mentions these things because he knows and cares a lot about magic, and because he's been one of the first people to note the bug and report it. Naturally he's going to be upset that Jagex manages to ignore the issues that affect class balance the most, and he's not the only one. The whole Duel Arena update is completely trivial compared to 10% dps loss for magic as a whole. In fact every single update since this bug was added is trivial in comparison. It's not very good for Jagex' record that they never ever manage to fix these bugs in time - magic (leech) curses were broken for ages pre-EoC as well. Any caring player would be upset about this, not complaining that people mention it. We need to spread the word a bit, or nothing will get done. I was not complaining that people mentioned it; only that the only person I've ever seen mention it is Latin and I've never seen anyone actually say what is wrong with it. I mean I read near everything here and I skim RSOF from time to time and literally not seen a whisper of this other than Latin mentioning it. I'm not the only one. Here, plenty of threads of people complaining about it. 299-300-406-64860090 15-16-67-64749730 299-300-511-64747178 299-300-351-64800518 16-17-83-64783032 299-300-961-64747136 What's even worse; this bug is known by Jagex. Emilee has posted in one of the threads, saying the issue was still awaiting a fix. She posted that 2/3 weeks ago, and they're still broken. And other people just don't pay attention to stuff like this and can't be bothered to report it, it seems. When I made a small post about it in the Screenshots & Videos topic, someone refused to believe me and basically told me I was lying. I just really hate how Jagex is dealing with these things. Pre EoC, when leech curses were broken for all Magic spells (save for polypore), they didn't get fixed until the EoC. They were broken for almost a full year, and multiple JMods made comments that they were working on a fix, but we never got one, until the EoC rework. And now it seems they're doing the same thing again. Bugs like these are pretty big. I bet you that if melee prayers were bugged, they would get hotfixed within a week. Anyway, mage prayers will hopefully get fixed with the next combat update, which is due for late april. That would mean Magic was at a pretty big disadvantage for almost two months. Great job, Jagex! You sure know where your priorities lie...

Still no fix to mage prayers. Disappointing...

Why didn't you wait until the EoC update? Congrats, though.

You can pile npcs.. Your spells are still limited to hitting nine targets max. ".."

I didn't know they changed the amount of targets Burst/Barrage hit? Since when?

Well... try to hit the dagannoth that's in the middle, in a 3x3 square range, so your Burst/Barrage spell can hit all the targets (9 max). You're hitting seven in your picture. And I wouldn't bother with using Augury, or any mage prayer really. They're currently broken, and don't boost your damage.

Still no fix to mage prayers? Nice... lolwat

Overloads boost by 17 visible levels, and 17 invisible levels. Each invisible level boosts your damage by eight. The invisible damage boost is affected by the speed modifier. Turmoil and Anguish add 20 invisible levels. Torment, and all other mage prayers, are currently broken.

Weapon damage is balanced around their required level. So, tier 60 weapons will deal the exact same DPS at level 60. No, it applies to abilities too.

Well, at least they've finally acknowledged that mage prayers are broken. About time, too.

And another week passes, and mage prayers are still not working. Nice job, Jagex.

Why would they add another level 70 wand, when we already have Ahrim's wand? They should make it level 75, since we don't have any wands for that tier yet.

I give up. Spend five minutes at a training dummy. Get a critical hit with any ability w/o Torment, then do the same with Torment. You'll see it yourself. I'm done.

Lol... :ugeek: Try it for yourself. All magical prayers stopped working two weeks ago. It's not the first time they have screwed around with mage prayers. Pre EoC leech curses didn't work for almost a full year. I'm not expecting a fix for them for at least another half year. Just trying to tell you that it's not worth using mage prayers right now. Saves you some Prayer points. Anyway, to unspam...

What? Test it yourself. It doesn't do anything. Oh, yeah it boosts your damage by two points. Whoop whoop, lol.

Could you tell me your gear/setup please? Gano, Virtus wand + book, Bloodfire blitz in both hands, Sixth age circuit, skillcape, Arcane stream neck. Using Omnipower. Oh, and with Torment. Torment doesn't do shit anymore. It's broken.

That's... odd. QBD has 80 in combat stats, KK has 85 in combat stats, so you'd think the King has much higher Defence :P

Very impressive. How long did it take you to get your first pair of hybrid legs?

Yes, I've taken that into count :)

Maybe. But Guthix said it was a blue giant, and Saradomin is only a bit taller than the average human.
