in theory that works, but mages will be eating more often than they'll be casting against rangers because they have 0 range defense and when they finally do cast it only hits about half the time on range gear so it doesnt work. also karils bow shoots as far as mage on rapid mode and msb can switch to longrange mode and still do damage for as long as you're frozen for. thats because everyone else is melee and the few rangers that actually go in there are lvl 70s in blue hides. 1 on 1 a melee with range or a ranger will destroy that mage. you can level range for free with 1 fletching and melee for free with 1 everything. that was a really, really stupid post. i stand corrected, but you didn't need to say i'm stupid.
