I've started pking and using a rune 2h to try to ko them.

 

 

 

A while back I read that jagex updated the 2h and it ruined range/2h combos.

 

 

 

What exactly was the update?

There's no update to rune2h since when RS2 comes out.

Where did you get such an idea ? ther is no update on the r2h just like go_falcon said

werever you heard this could have been refering to the dark bow release as it is much more likely to ko an opponent removing the need to use rune2h (although it sounds like ur f2p from "rune"2h so nvm)

This is what I heard.

 

 

 

When your using range/2h combo if you use the 2h quick enough then it'll attack really fast for that one attack (like your still using range). I heard that that doesn't work anymore.

 

 

 

Is it true?? and sorry for being unclear.

Well, apperantly in the time you could switch from range to r2h, your opponent had no time to eat. But some maniac claimed that he ws getting less KO's because now they can finish eating before they get hit. This guy was a complete idiot and had no idea what he was talking about.

so basically the rumor isn't true?

if they romove it from f2p ... their no way to k0 someone lol ....

i never said they removed it.

The rumor isn't true. One big HOAX

When your using range/2h combo if you use the 2h quick enough then it'll attack really fast for that one attack (like your still using range). I heard that that doesn't work anymore.

 

 

 

The phenomenon of the Rune 2hander KO used by rangers on free servers is what some might consider an exploit of the way weapon speed is programmed into the game (though it is not).

 

 

 

The reason the 2 handed sword in general seems slow is that all weapons are programmed to delay your character from attacking for a certain amount of time - in other multiplayer online adventure games, this is generally referred to as a 'cooldown.' The 2 handed sword in all its various instantiations has extremely high attack and strength relative to other weapons of the same material - and to balance this, a very high delay after each attack (a long 'cooldown,' if you will). Rangers on free servers, being of sound mind, realized the usefulness of the 2 handed sword as a sidearm, used only for what they intended as their final killing blow when PKing.

 

 

 

You've probably noticed that, for all intents, the 2 handed sword doesn't become a 'slow weapon' until after its first attack... so, of course when you wield and attack with it immediately after attacking with a shortbow, it seems to "attack really fast for that one attack (like your still using range)" - because you are still using range, at least in this sense: the cooldown or delay from the last shortbow firing is still the active one, making the intended KO hit from the 2 hander seem faster than when it is used when its own delay is in effect. Now that you understand how turn timing works in Runescape, you can see that this is not something that could ever be 'nerfed,' since it's based on an integral bit of programming, and not something that Jagex never intended rangers to be able to do in the first place.

so , does it mean u can or u cant do anymore the combo ?
